Ant Marketing

Flinndal

Flinndal has always been very satisfied working with Ant Marketing. Especially the way they think with you to overcome problems and increase results is superb. For us there’s only one call centre in the UK and that’s Ant Marketing.

Hitachi Capital UK

We at Hitachi Capital (UK) plc have worked with Ant Marketing since April 2006 on our consumer campaigns to sell ancillary products to our customer base

Throughout that time it has been more of a partnership approach rather than supplier buyer relationship. Ant Marketing has been forward thinking in their ideas, flexible in the working practices and above all listens and takes on board input from us.

As a result we have had results that benefit both parties and made the campaigns a success.

Industry Review

We have worked with Ant Marketing on several lead generations projects- we have always been impressed with the speed and general efficiency of Ant’s work. All of the projects have been delivered on time and with the quality we expect.

J.D.Williams & Co Ltd

We have worked with Ant Marketing for over 5 years, covering a range of financial products, sometimes directly & sometimes through a 3rd party.

We have always found them to be proactive & keen to make improvements at every stage, be it a new product or a well established one. Working very much as a partnership we have survived ever increasing levels of regulation to maintain the high levels of response. However the highest levels of Compliance have never been compromised.

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group

I have been working with Ant Marketing since 2008 and the relationship we have with them has gone from strength to strength - we always have confidence in Ant and know that everyone there will work closely with us on every campaign. The Account Management team make sure it is their priority to get to know our business and share that knowledge across the whole team and the benefits of that are always evident.

Fortis Commercial Finance Ltd

Ant Marketing have been a valued partner to Fortis Commercial Finance over a number of years providing a professional and effective approach to our direct marketing channel.

Research Insight

Market research often involves interviewing busy and hard-to-reach people.  Finding qualifying respondents and persuading them to participate can be real challenges, requiring both a solution-focused mindset and tenacity.

Ant Marketing are consistently professional in the way they run our projects. By thinking about difficulties creatively, they have succeeded where other research partners have failed.  These qualities have led us to view Ant Marketing as our telephone research “supplier of choice”.

Boyes Turner

We have worked with ANT on various campaigns over the last two years. Our marketing campaigns are niche but the team at ANT have got up to speed quickly, executed the campaigns efficiently and effectively and ultimately produced results. In one of our most recent campaigns ANT produced meetings with 14 organisations from a target list of 23. Out of the 14 meetings, 6 are already creating work.  We continue to work with ANT and would recommend them to any company carrying out a direct sales campaign.

Matrix Training

Matrix Training is a Government approved Private Training Provider, which delivers Training and Qualifications within the Manufacturing Sector. In 2008/09 we were contracted by the Government to deliver funded provision via the Train to Gain programme. This programme required us to directly engage employers and sell them the benefits of staff development so that they would allow employees to be trained to National Standards.

Matrix Training has a very successful history of delivering high quality training provision with good OFSTED grades and many satisfied customers. Our problem was that we did not have an effective means of engaging new employers and growing our business. We identified ANT marketing as a possible solution to this problem after attending a networking event in which they did a presentation around the services they could offer. What particularly made ANT an interesting proposition was that most of their fees were based around appointments made rather than calls made.

After visiting the ANT operations site in Sheffield and meeting the team that we would be working with we decided to engage their services on a Train to Gain sales project towards the end of 2008 for 20 appointments. Within a few days of starting the sales campaign we had a steady stream of appointments which had all been quality assured by ANT against an agreed appointment setting criteria. They also provided us with weekly updates and data on the campaign. We were so pleased with the initial success from this campaign we re-engaged ANT in early 2009 on a similar campaign for 50 appointments.

This campaign was very successful and has contributed towards an increase in our turnover by at least 25% for 2008/09. We now consider using ANT in all of our marketing campaigns as they have consistently demonstrated they can produce high quality leads cost effectively.

I would certainly recommend them to any business that aims to engage new customers

Baxi Group

Ant Marketing were professional from the first meeting, they identified our needs from an early start which allowed us to build that important relationship before our profiling campaign got under way. The quality of the data provided back and the reporting aspect allowed us on a daily basis see how we were progressing with the project.

I have been delighted with the campaign and have even started to look at other services that Ant Marketing offer to see how we can further better our contact with our customers. It would be a pleasure to work with them again.

Any future campaigns can only be a positive advantage to our business
