What we do
Whether your project requires all our teams or just one person, we treat it with the same creativity and strategic thinking it deserves.

Lots of agencies wax lyrical about why their design is great and how design works; how it has to influence how you feel or behave; how it must educate or direct, create confidence or manipulate expectations – and they’d be right. But we know as far as you’re concerned, design has to grab attention, present your message and information and look good, it’s simple as that.
You can leave the theory to us – we’ll do the thinking and deliver great design that works... and that looks great of course.
We run an assortment of events, from discipline-specific workshops such as marketing, digital, brand and social media to full on debates and partner events.
All our events are hosted in our delicious offices on the Quayside in Newcastle and are promoted happily through our sister-company, www.bdaily.info the NE business news community.
Keep an eye out for the latest events we are planning on running on this site, and across bdaily.info. If you wish to run an event at Keel House, please email si@thebgroup.co.uk for further information.
Since we began some 10 years ago, digital development has been at the heart of our company. In fact, our first employee was a programmer. Ever since those early days, we’ve created great online experiences for our clients and their customers. Over the years, we’ve built CMS-driven brochure sites, large information delivery sites, online sales platforms and even an online newspaper with its own daily TV show.
We have a simple approach. We think that sites should be functional, look great and be easy to use for people on the other end of the mouse. Creating a great user experience takes time, expertise and a deep understanding of how people behave online. We spend as much time on information architecture and working with your customers as we do writing the code that makes it happen. We know it matters.
Great online experiences should never be undermined by the technologies providing them and we work very hard to make sure our code is as lightweight, portable, accessible and bombproof as possible. Have a look at the page source here or on any of our client sites…see for yourself how we engineer our front ends.
We’re very proud of our work so if something catches your eye in the portfolio, then get in touch.
Our skills and experience are second to none. Our reputation is one of delivering practical and innovative, high value brand advice and services. We’ve developed creative solutions for hundreds of clients, working in all sectors and we’d love to add you to that list.
Excellent public relations requires specialist understanding of the media, a creative mind to capture the public imagination and a great deal of planning and persistence to ensure a sustained presence.
If you’re looking to generate positive coverage from national, regional and other media then talk to us. We’ll help you identify what’s newsworthy and what could generate interest from every area of your company.
Beyond the more traditional media and the demands of the rolling news agenda, PR can take many forms. Digital platforms, including websites and social media such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, and specialist blogging sites are rapidly evolving areas that can help to maximise opportunities. Through our very own business community, www.bdaily.info, clients and the wider business community across the North East can successfully engage online. What tone should be employed? How will it be regulated? Who should take responsibility for updates? These are questions that need to be carefully considered.
Internal PR can be just as important…again, this is a specialist area. How does your organisation communicate? Newsletter, video briefing or presentation? Morale is a critical issue for any business and communication is a key part of this.
If you have any PR queries please don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and talk to us – we’d love to hear from you.
We know that each commission is different. That’s why we always start with an honest chat with our clients to see what’s needed and what’s possible within budget. Through our in-house film crew, we produce the best value film that matches the specific needs of our clients. Because of our professional partnerships and in-house knowledge and facilities (two TV studios and an edit suite), we can offer TV and film at surprisingly low prices. Our experienced team (clients include Powerade, Mercedes, Bertlesmanns Hannover Messes, Visit Tees Valley Tourism, TyneMet College, Redcar and Cleveland, Prince’s Trust) will always deliver the right creative solution with the biggest impact.
With radio it’s all about the script. If you start with a winning script, and we always do, then the rest is easy. We’ll manage all your project stages from drafting the script (which is overseen by our creative team and copywriters) right through to recording. Our Head of Creative will personally direct production to avoid that all too common cheese factor.
