What is the
Fred DNA programme?
How does Fred DNA Work?
Every business, however unique, requires great communications to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Whether you are looking for commercial growth or entering new markets and need to reach new customers, or you have organisational challenges and need to manage change by improving your internal communications and culture, our team of specialists is here to help you. With trusted advice and insight based on years of experience working hands-on with businesses of every size, we help businesses evolve and thrive.
Our team works throughout the UK and beyond, in a wide range of sectors to deliver a bespoke business consultancy service that is built on creative thinking that solves problems, adds real tangible value and drives business growth. This involves every aspect of business communications from brand creation and reaching new markets, to profile raising and reinvigorating team behaviours.
Our three-step, DNA programme is a framework around which we build a package of tailored support depending on your particular needs and objectives.
Put simply, it our core approach to invigorating your communications, transforming business behaviours and driving growth from the inside out. We deliver this programme in three key stages:
Discover -
Immersion, data gathering and understanding
Navigate -
Insight, strategy and planning
Activate -
Roll out, delivery and evaluation
Each phase is delivered by your personal Fred team, handpicked to best support your business and one which is always led from outset to completion by at least one Director of the agency. Fred believes that great communications is an investment, not a cost, so, at each stage, we will outline what you can expect, how it will add value and the timeframes for delivery.
