If it doesn’t pay for itself, we keep working.

We don’t believe in marketing that doesn’t pay for itself, so we put our own money behind it. Over your first 12 months, if the revenue we generate for you doesn’t at least cover what you’ve paid us, we keep working at no extra cost until it does. That is how confident we are in the work.

Measured honestly: we track the qualified enquiries we generate against an average customer value you set from your own numbers, in a shared dashboard you see every month. Applies to retainers from £3k a month on a 12-month term.

Under the bonnet

We killed the page builder.

We hand-build lightweight websites, optimised for SEO and speed. A featherweight theme means the same beauty at a fraction of the weight, so your pages load fast, rank higher and convert better. Drag the switch and see.

Book a call

A full-service agency handles every part of your marketing under one roof, from strategy and social media to content, video, design, advertising and web, instead of you managing several separate suppliers. At Spectra Media we can run individual projects or your entire marketing function, all coordinated by one team here in Chester.

It depends on scope. A one-off project costs very differently to running your whole marketing function. We work to clear, agreed pricing with no hidden fees, and we'll always tell you straight what a given outcome will take. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote.

See what you should be spending

No. We're based in Chester and love working with local businesses, but we deliver for clients across Cheshire, the Wirral, North Wales, the North West and nationally, including global manufacturers.

Freelancers can be great for a single task, but you become the project manager stitching it all together. With Spectra you get a joined-up strategy, a whole team across every discipline and a single point of contact, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Compare in-house vs agency

Some things move fast, like paid advertising or a website fix. Brand and organic growth build over a few months. We set realistic, measurable targets up front and report honestly so you can see progress from the start.

See the return to expect

We have particular strength with manufacturers and professional-services firms such as accountants, solicitors and wealth managers, alongside established consumer brands.
