Strategy Before Execution — Always.
We don't quote on tactics until we understand the problem behind the brief.
Too many agencies sell deliverables. We sell outcomes. Before any design file is opened or a single ad is placed, the Ashford & Sons team sits down with you to map the commercial objective, the audience reality, and the competitive context. That discovery process — which we treat as seriously as any design sprint — is what allows us to recommend the right mix of branding, web, SEO, and paid activity rather than defaulting to whatever we sold last week. The result is a programme of work with a clear logic and a measurable finish line. Timelines, ownership, and success metrics are documented before we begin — no ambiguity, no scope creep surprises.
Our Core Services
Delivered individually or as part of an integrated engagement.
Brand Identity & Strategy
Positioning workshops, naming, visual identity systems (logo, colour, typography, iconography), brand guidelines, tone-of-voice frameworks. Delivered as a structured sprint with defined review stages — typically five to eight weeks from kick-off to handoff.
Web Design & Development
Discovery, UX wireframing, visual design, front-end build, CMS integration, and post-launch optimisation. We build on platforms suited to your team's capabilities — from bespoke builds to well-chosen Webflow or WordPress implementations — always performance-first.
Paid Performance Marketing
Google Search and Display, Meta Ads, LinkedIn (for B2B clients), and programmatic display. Full campaign architecture, creative production, audience segmentation, weekly reporting, and monthly strategy reviews — all in-house, no white-labelling.
SEO & Technical Audit
Full technical site audit, keyword opportunity mapping, on-page optimisation, internal linking strategy, and structured data implementation. Delivered with a prioritised action plan your dev team can act on immediately, or executed directly by ours.
Content Strategy & Production
Editorial calendars, long-form articles, landing page copy, email sequences, and social copy — all written to a consistent brand voice. We brief, write, edit, and publish, or hand back a fully documented process your in-house team can own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions clients ask before signing off.
Do you work with businesses outside Drogheda and Louth?
Yes — roughly half our active clients are based in Dublin, Meath, and Kildare. We manage remote engagements through structured weekly check-ins and shared project boards. For larger branding or strategy projects, we typically schedule one or two in-person workshops at your location or ours.
What's the minimum budget you work with?
Our project minimum is €3,500 for standalone work (e.g. a brand audit or a small-site redesign). Integrated retainers — covering SEO, content, and paid media together — typically start at €1,800 per month. We're transparent about budget fit on the first call, so neither side wastes time.
How long does a full brand and website project take?
A combined brand identity and website project runs twelve to sixteen weeks from signed brief to launch, assuming timely client feedback at each stage. We build that timeline into the contract so milestones are clear. Phased delivery is available for clients with tighter deadlines or budgets.
Do you offer ongoing support after a website launches?
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance plans covering hosting liaison, security updates, performance monitoring, and up to four hours of content or layout edits per month. Many clients also transition into a content retainer where we manage their blog and social channels post-launch.
Can you work with an existing brand, or only from scratch?
Both. A significant share of our work is brand evolution — taking an existing identity and refining it for digital channels without losing the equity a business has already built. We always begin with a brand audit to assess what's worth keeping before we recommend any changes.
The SEO programme Ashford & Sons ran for us over eight months moved our primary keyword cluster from page four to position two on Google.ie. Organic sessions are up 140% year-on-year, and the enquiry form is actually busy for the first time since we launched the business.
