CLIENTS

  • “We’ve worked with Benedetto and the loft for a number of years now and in that time they’ve helped us win several pieces of new business with some of the biggest and most recognisable brands in the world. They always gets it straight away, have a great sensitivity to brands, are willing to go the extra mile and can mould Powerpoint Pitch Decks in ways we’ve never seen before. Finally, we are always working towards incredibly tight deadlines at Wave and our overnight shifts with Benedetto complete with last-minute amends have become legendary. An integral part of our pitch team.”

    LINDA GALLAGHER, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT WAVE AGENCY

  • “Having worked for many years helping develop brands both domestically and internationally, I have found that combining highly creative design with a fast and immediate client response is a significant challenge. The loft is exceptional in their patience and process to extract what the client wants, articulate the options effectively and then deliver the elements to meet tight time-scales and budgets. They continually go the extra mile and add considerable energy, insight and value throughout.”

    IAIN MACRITCHIE, FOUNDER, MENTOR & CHAIRMAN OF MCR PATHWAYS

  • “For me, the success of our new website stems from the loft’s ability to capture the essence of what Percepta does and tell our story to the wider marketplace. Our core strength lies in creating seamless experiences for our Clients’ customers, and in working with the brilliant Michelle, we were able to demonstrate this through a series of captivating and eloquently written case studies. Overall, a great experience, and a fantastic new website!!”

Every time I look at the results I feel a real attachment and pride.”

    David Nicol, Founder of The Craft Whisky Club
