HOW WE WORK AS A CREATIVE AGENCY...

Tropic exists to support businesses that play a key role in society. 

We’re a small, close-knit team that packs a punch. From big agency experience to guiding startups through various phases of growth, we understand what clients need from their partners. It’s why we believe in complete transparency and honesty, always working iteratively and collaboratively, and it’s why everything we do is based on a solid strategic foundation.

Without that foundation, clients simply waste their time, energy and money. We’re very proud of the way we tackle this head-on, never afraid to ask the tough questions or to add extra value beyond the core brief, to ensure the impact of our work together is as positive as it possibly could be.

Our three step approach to delivering RESULTS.

Trust us, it works wonders…

Define

WORKSHOPS | RESEARCH | COMPETITOR ANALYSIS | STRATEGY | PLANNING

We only work with businesses we care about, so it’s important to us that our work feeds into your wider business objectives. At this stage, we work with you to define an ambitious yet achievable strategy for the project, ensuring we have a solid foundation to work from and that everyone is aligned.

Create

BRAND | ANIMATION | ILLUSTRATION | UX & UI | WEB DESIGN | WEB DEVELOPMENT | SEO | CONTENT CREATION | MARKETING CAMPAIGNS

Led by strategy, our creative flair comes into its own here. Regardless of the services you need, we work in sprints, with regular rounds of feedback and a collaborative ethos that allows us to work iteratively and fast. Big-agency expertise, with the flexibility and attitude of a small studio. 

Deliver

LAUNCH | HANDOVER | TRAINING | HOSTING | PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION | ANALYTICS | ONGOING SUPPORT PACKAGES

Showtime. With everything now created and ready for the world, it’s time to launch. That looks a little different for each client and service, so we work with you to make a plan that maximises impact, whether that’s a web project or a multi-phase marketing campaign. Our work continues until we see results.

AN AGENCY THAT DOES THINGS PROPERLY.

As a team we believe in doing things right. We don’t cut corners, we don’t paper over cracks, we don’t shy away from asking the tough questions or critiquing our work, we don’t ignore the data, we don’t build things that don’t last, and we certainly don’t keep clients in the dark. Ultimately, we don’t do anything we’re not proud of.

Keep reading to get an insight into how we’re set up, how we work, what tools we use and which partners we work with. 

We’ve partnered with Krystal to offer you fast, secure hosting from within the UK. Not only that, but you can rest assured that your hosting is 100% powered by renewable energy. They’re the world’s first B Corp web hosting provider and 1% for the planet members. They’re good guys, making the most of the sun, wind and sea.

We strongly believe that you should own everything. It just makes sense and keeps things simple. While we may setup ad accounts, purchase domains, integrate software and develop platforms, we’ll always transfer ownership to you. Feel free to let us in to manage things, but you should be in control.

We specialise in WordPress, Webflow and Shopify platforms. From time to time we stray away from these for specific projects, but it’s what we know best. We also have a range of powerful tools and software add-ons that have been tried and tested so we know that they work, can keep things secure and maintain high site speeds. When we develop a new platform, we’ll always let you know what software is being used. Fully transparent.

Email is fine. Phone is better. WhatsApp works. We love in-person. We can adapt to what suits you best, but you’ll always have a direct line of contact with us via Slack during a project. We believe in open communication, kept simple and with the right people for the conversation. 

We’re based on Ynys Môn (Anglesey), a stunning island off the North coast of Wales. It’s our main source of inspiration and an endless playground, but we’re not all here. We’ve got folks on the West coast of Scotland, Bristol, Brighton and West Wales. Our hybrid-remote model works wonders for fuelling creativity and allows us to conduct in-person sessions as well as online sessions, wherever you are. 

Tropic is a small creative agency with big ambitions. If you’re ready to boost your digital presence, tap into new markets, launch new products or services, or improve your marketing performance, then let’s chat.

No sales jargon, no hidden costs, just an honest conversation about how we could help you achieve your business goals.

“We worked with Tropic to develop a completely new website for the Bardsey Island Trust. From the first kick-off meeting, the design development meeting with our whole staff team, to completion the Tropic team were fantastic to work with. They understood the brief brilliantly, to create a visually engaging website that reflected the feeling of being on Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), bringing the heritage, nature, people and spirituality of Enlli to life. They created a website which invites you to travel across Bardsey Sound and step onto the island to explore and discover what makes the island such a special place, all whilst ensuring accessibility was paramount.”

Sian Stacey • Bardsey Island Trust

“The Team at Tropic have been amazing with my Cafe Notos website re-brand! The team were hands on from the get go, with a real personable touch to everything they did! Their attention to detail & drive to capture the ethos behind the business for whom they are working for was very comforting as a customer. As you can see from the final website launch, the finishing product proves they are the best in the business on the island!

Thanks again Team Tropic!”
