Employer Description:
We’re Linney. A sixth generation, world-class, multichannel marketing services group. We drive innovation and change for our clients through insight, creativity, technology and delivery. How we make it work: We Evaluate. We cut subjectivity and make marketing work, combining traditional market research with academic thinking and technological innovation to offer new and informed perspectives that challenge, inspire and improve. Our consumer insights and strategic foresight inform everything we do. And our pragmatic approach, working closely with designers and developers, ensures it’s relevant, practical and delivers what’s needed. We Create. The creative process and bright ideas are the essence of what we do. Our creative teams work in digital and conventional design, and anywhere brands and messages are experienced - including screens, paper and spaces. As our digital world grows and channels to market fragment, it’s here where the idea begins. We Make. We have a deep history of manufacturing: pushing limits and boundaries technically, finding efficiencies and better ways constantly. We not only offer multi-format, digital and litho printing, but combine them with permanent and semi-permanent POS, automated artworking and smart workflow systems - a unique offer in a space that's changing fast. We Activate. We help B2C and B2B brands grow online and offline – from storing, collating and distributing POS for major retailers to assisting ecommerce brands to delight their customers. Our logistics, co-packing and return management systems – alongside our dedicated call centre service – enable us to go further for the brands we work with. "We've grown our family business from a single Victorian bookshop to an international multi-channel marketing group. Change is at the heart of our culture: it's who we are and what we do."​ Nick Linney Chairman, Linney
