What we do

From offline to online and in-store to on-pack, we can offer a truly integrated solution.

We believe it’s easier to unite strategy and execution if you hold all the pieces of the communications jigsaw. But we also believe that you don’t need a sledgehammer to crack walnuts. So we make sure you only get the right people with the right skills for the project. And for that reason The Union Group is organised into five specialist units with offices in Edinburgh and Leeds. They are:

Each unit has access to our worldwide network of 80 international offices.

Union Direct

We use targeted, one-to-one communications to create awareness, interest, response and ultimately build long-term profitable relationships for our clients. Using the latest profiling, targeting and database technology aligned with rigorous planning and stand-out creativity, we deliver customer acquisition, retention and loyalty programmes. We build in a significant level of performance-related pay into all our client remuneration arrangements. Consider it a union of creativity and accountability.

Union Digital

Our services encompass digital strategy, social media, mobile and everything in between. We start by understanding both the users and the business drivers, evaluating the most effective solutions and then building them in a robust manner. From websites to email database management and rich media, the really successful digital projects are the result of innovative thinking, attention to detail and ongoing project management. A union of strategy, design and function.

Union Connect

We help brands form unions with their customers to get them to act – perhaps to try, to buy, or to buy more often. How we do it is the key. It might be cutting through the shelf clutter with an on-pack offer, grabbing attention with an in-store POS or demonstration, bringing a brand to life with memorable experiential or even getting the trade onside with B2B. There’s no point talking if you can’t be heard.

Union Tech

We put our heart and soul into the creation of online solutions for our clients, which can range from websites and mobile Apps to online games and software. And if there’s something new on the horizon you can trust us to understand and implement it too. More than anything we’re about delivering solutions that are innovative and fun, yet technically rock-solid and seamlessly linked to our client’s overall marketing strategy.
