THE LOFT

“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 timescales and budgets. They continually go the extra mile and add considerable energy, insight and value throughout.”

Iain MacRitchie, Private Equity Chair, Social Entrepreneur, Growth & Change Specialist

“THE LOFT was an integral part of the Altia story, we worked together for many years where they were instrumental in creating our global brand. They contributed to countless projects, worked across the entire organisation and provided real support throughout our business journey as a growing company.

They were a tremendous help, particularly in the earlier years, when our company’s growth was at its most rapid and things were changing every day. They supported then, as they always have done, by contributing to the company’s strategies with great energy, insight and creativity.

Always grounded in the commercial realities of what we were doing and always with the bigger picture in mind.

Good fun too, highly recommended.”

Ian Watson, CEO & Co-Founder of Altia Solutions

Highly recommended.”

“We worked very closely with THE LOFT for many years and they brought so much value to our global organisation in many different ways. Everything from overhauling our digital presence to supporting what we do with large automotive OEMs, even working very closely with myself to re-think how we present our own company’s position, philosophy and expertise.

They’re always brimming with energy, ideas and a service-oriented approach to what they’re doing. We became so close, at one point, they even moved in.

Very enjoyable to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.”

Alan Meldrum, Global Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Client Services

“We’ve worked with 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 get it straight away, have a great sensitivity to brands and are willing to go the extra mile. They 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, complete with last-minute amends, have become legendary.

An integral part of our pitch team.”
