Marketing Mechanix is a dynamic collective enterprise of three senior independent creatives and technical specialists who have recognised the need to provide highly effective supporting services in a cohesive, comprehensive way – whilst removing the commitments of employment – working remotely on a contract, project or adhoc way to provide the support you need – when you need it. Something our clients really appreciate in our economic climate.
We work alongside marketers at senior level, design teams and packaging specialists, providing a tailored team or individual with established reputations in strategy, creative, design and artworking, copywriting, as well as front & back-end web development.
