Client testimonials

Alexandra Bertram, Brand and Creative Lead, Ascot Racecourse
“Ascot initially engaged saintnicks on a brand voice piece of work which has been adopted into our comms across the business. When we reviewed our social channels, it was a natural next step to bring them on board to translate the brand voice work into content that engaged and resonated which ultimately supported our audience growth objectives. saintnicks worked closely with the in-house team to bring Royal Ascot to life for our online fans. The continued growth beyond the summer is a credit to this new direction.”

Jimmy Davis, Senior Loyalty Manager, LIV Golf

Cristina Dorador de los Santos, Head of Marketing, Bailey of Bristol
“We tasked saintnicks to develop a product proposition for a brand-new product in an entirely new category – where we’d be talking to an audience we hadn’t approached before. The team responded with a proposition that not only perfectly encapsulated the new product and target audience, but also the essence of Bailey’s 75 years of expertise in leisure vehicle design.”

Nathalie Curic, Head of Brand, d&b audiotechnik
“We’re thrilled and grateful to saintnicks for their exceptional work in bringing d&b Soundscape to life. The ambition and passion we experienced from their team was truly inspiring, leading to an incredibly successful campaign. Their dedication and creativity continue to surpass our expectations. With your dedication, creativity, and strategic prowess you have transformed the Soundscape campaign into something truly remarkable. We are more than happy with the results, which beautifully showcase the culmination of your strategic and creative efforts. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for your outstanding work.”

David Cornwell, Team Principal, 4Aces GC
“Before we could sell our brand, we needed to determine what our brand was. We knew we wanted authenticity and a brand that reflected our Players’ attributes and personalities, but I had no idea how to get there. And then came saintnicks. The team at saintnicks gave shape and purpose to our brand. Their expertise, bandwidth, professionalism and approach gave us a deep sense of confidence that we were heading in the right direction as the project unfolded. They figured us out and gave our brand an authentic meaning and a purpose that will drive our strategies for the next 10 to 20 years. Outstanding. Thank you for everything!!”
