Services

It is often difficult to ascertain the effectiveness of some marketing campaigns. However, the exposure given to Southwark Cathedral during 2011 through the screening of our short video on the Thames Clippers has often been favourably commented upon, both by individuals and tour operators.

With a very limited advertising budget it is always good to know that money being expended is being used effectively.
