Safestyle
Marketing Director
Safestyle
The campaign looks great and has been really well received. Holdens did a fantastic job in dramatising the torment your windows cause when they need replacing. Our return to TV advertising coincides with the resurgence of Safestyle as the UK’s biggest window and door company proudly based in the North of England but installing throughout the UK.

We find Ted and the gang to be exceptionally creative, efficient and cost-effective. As a group, we view Holdens as an extension of our in-house marketing teams working on all our media output, from brand concepts and guidelines to communication strategies, websites, print and outdoor.

Head of Digital
Big Fang Collective
This year we wanted to take our Christmas campaign to the next level and the idea of creating an immersive AR experience that transformed existing sets throughout the venue felt like the perfect fit. Picture Blade Runner meets Bad Santa, Westworld meets White Christmas - it doesn't get much more Golf Fang than that. Holdens turned an idea into reality and did an amazing job transporting guests to a new world they won't be able to forget in a hurry!
Mmu
CEO
Manchester Metropolitan University
We saw a number of agencies, but we found a perfect partner in Holdens. The immersion process into our brand challenges was thorough and insightful. When we were presented with the creative solution, one word sprung to mind. Genius!

Group Marketing Strategist
Continuum Attractions
We wanted to approach the rebrand sensitively, making sure we retained the essence of what the original Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition had created and built up over the years, while also breathing a new lease of life into the attraction itself and the brand. We decided that Holdens was the agency to help us deliver this. The new brand and website will ensure we are in the best position when we relaunch, appealing to and engaging with visitors from across the globe. For this new world-class visitor attraction, we needed a world-class brand to accompany it and we are delighted with the results.

I've worked with Holdens for the last few years and have tasked them with the branding and marketing of some of the UK's largest residential and student developments. Their innovative and technological approach to property marketing has proved invaluable, helping us deliver on our key objectives and exceed our targets.

Inspace Fitness
The team at Holdens has delivered the goods - on time and way beyond our expectations. They've made the whole process of creation, launch and delivery easy. The project has been a great success so far and we can't wait to carry on our exciting journey all over the world with the guys delivering on-point, quality content and campaigns for us. It's a heavenly partnership.
