Who we are
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
For us, marketing is all about having a relationship with the customer – that’s you and your customers.
By getting to know you and your customers we can make sure we deliver the right marketing solutions for your business.
So, yes, we are a full service marketing agency and we can deliver every aspect of your marketing. From the strategy and the plan to design, websites, copywriting and exhibitions and everything in between. But crucially, we will manage that process too.
On the face of it we might seem like other marketing agencies. However, our entire philosophy is built on looking at what we deliver for your customers. The focus needs to be on your customers, not you.
Through in depth surveys, case studies and stories, we build communication around your customers. To deepen that relationship and deliver the very best.
MEET THE TEAM
Like all businesses it’s the sum of the parts, that makes up the whole, and it’s no different for us. We are fortunate to have a great team of people, and some cracking partner relationships.

Nicky Parker
DipM FCIM Chartered Marketer
Having spent more years than I care to admit in marketing, I started Bang in 2006 to deliver great marketing to SMEs.
What’s key for me, is that the businesses we work with are focused on creating a great experience for their customers, irrespective of what they sell.
The focus on results and customer service is what I love.
I’m just one of those ‘demand the best’ passionate people, who, when I see something isn’t right, dives in and works on a solution. This ‘can do’ approach has seen me apply my talents to being a troubleshooting school governor – helping to ensure children get the very best education.
My downtime is spent ballroom dancing, but, as I usually lead, my clients will recognise my need to still be in charge! I love baking too, but won’t appearing in Bake Off anytime soon!
