The partnership has been pivotal to our improved sales performance and brand awareness and we are looking forward to continuing our growth together.
Landmann - David Flook
Sales Director
What started off as a one-off strategic planning project has quickly blossomed into a much wider partnership. We were very clear on what we needed from our agency partner to help support us through arguably the busiest couple of years in the Resort’s history. The Smoking Gun team has ticked all the boxes, marrying expertise with commercial nous and a genuine knowledge and passion for the Resort. The agency has shown fantastic integration with other partners and has delivered outstanding results.
Alton Towers Resort - Larry Roles
Head of Marketing
We’re delighted with the job that Smoking Gun has done over the last year in not only continuing momentum of the Dee Set Group amongst media but also introducing a new brand to the market in Reapp, securing some seriously impressive coverage amongst our most sought after media publications. Smoking Gun’s drive and commitment to deliver the highest level is evident through everything they do, making the agency a real pleasure to work with.
Dee Set and Reapp - James Lamplugh
Commercial Director
Smoking Gun's integrated campaign has been a major stake in the ground in the business. When you have the global leads coming to ask how we have built this level of profile in such a short space of time in the UK, you know you are doing something right. The team demonstrated the perfect blend of strategic prowess and creative storytelling to bring us back to the fore - and the commercial results are undeniable.
