Who we are

Who we are

 

History is written by the victors. We’ve enjoyed placing our clients and our people firmly in that camp over the years. You can trace it back to Know How. A decision not to choose between the knowledge of Socrates and the strength of Hercules but the winning ways of both.

  • Tim and Pat

    The original B2B agency

    IAS was formed in 1973 before "B2B" was coined. It stands for Industrial Art Services, the first iteration of B2B marketing. It was founded by Tim Hazelhurst (winner of the first B2B Marketing lifetime achievement award) who saw that business brands were different and needed specialist marketing support. IAS is a piece of history we're proud to own.

  • Reuben and Rob Dummies

    And now the best B2B agency

    The people who publish the Dummies range could have asked the biggest B2B agency to write B2B Marketing for Dummies. We suspect they understand it's quality not quantity that wins the day in B2B. And the Business Marketing Association of America awards jury seem to agree, they've just handed us Agency of the Year 2011 - a first for any agency outside the USA!
