  • They are a mine of information and bring the theory of social media to life.

    They are a mine of information and bring the theory of social media to life with insightful examples from industry that the businesses we work with can really relate to.

    They genuinely care about the companies they work with and want them to reap the benefits of their social media campaigns.

  • They brilliantly grasped the support that we needed without needing too much steer from us, which really saved us so much time.

    Sookio have been a great team to work with from the outset of our project.

    They quickly grasped what we wanted from the project, and bought it to life with great photos and content to showcase the range of businesses in our district to enable and encourage people to support local businesses.

    They brilliantly grasped the support that we needed without needing too much steer from us, which really saved us so much time.

    We would not hesitate to recommend Sookio to any other organisation interested in procuring an excellent marketing agency.

  • It's so easy for these things to be over-engineered and confusing, but yours was so simple and clear.

    Hey Sookio. We love the visual podcast that you did following the launch of Street Support Cambridge!

    It's so easy for these things to be over-engineered and confusing, but yours was so simple and clear.

    It had a great tone of voice that fits with us, yet was made very local to Cambridge. Spot on. Thank you.

    Co-Founder, Street Support Network

  • Sookio crafted excellent copy which understood what we’re about and encapsulated all of our key messaging.

    We asked Sookio to step in and produce a comprehensive marketing package to be used internationally, and in the space of just a few weeks.

    The project was complex in its sensitivity but Sookio crafted excellent copy which understood what we’re about and encapsulated all of our key messaging.

    They produced some high standard design elements too, which spanned across web and print design.
