Six services, each done well

Most clients begin with a single service and bring in a second roughly six months on. There's no obligation to take everything at once.

Paid media

Campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, planned around the real value of a lead to your business rather than how good the dashboard looks.

SEO & content

Technical fixes, pages that deserve to rank and content people read to the end. It takes time to build, and once it's working it's hard for anyone to take away.

Brand & creative

Naming, identity, tone of voice and everything needed to roll it out, for businesses that have grown past the logo a relative designed for them.

Websites

Quick, accessible sites that you can update yourself. We build in Webflow or WordPress and hand over full control, properly, when we're done.

Social & community

Strategy, shoot days, editing and the everyday work of replying to people. Organic content that's genuinely yours, not recycled stock.

Analytics & CRO

Reliable GA4, tracking that still works with a cookie banner in place, and testing that turns the traffic you already get into revenue.

Fourteen of us, all based in Birmingham. Last year we managed £6.2m in ad spend at an average return of 4.1×, and our clients stay with us for 3.8 years on average.

How we work, in four steps

We've worked client-side ourselves, so we know what a "discovery phase" tends to cost, and how little of it holds up once it meets a real business.

  1. A thorough look under the bonnet

    We spend two weeks inside your analytics, ad accounts and inbox, then report back on what's broken and what it's costing you in pounds.

  2. A single-page plan

    It sets out what we'll do, in which order, at what cost and what we expect it to change. Where we can't put a figure on something, we'll tell you.

  3. Build and launch

    You'll get weekly updates on Slack, a call each month and a live dashboard you can check any time, rather than a PDF that turns up on the 14th.

  4. Keep improving

    The first plan is never the final one. We test, drop what's underperforming and move the budget to whatever is earning.

Who we work with

Our clients are ambitious, mid-sized and keen to see progress, and most turn over between £1m and £30m. Some have a marketing manager who needs extra support; some have a founder handling it at 11pm; a few have already tried two agencies and are, quite reasonably, cautious.

  • Ecommerce and direct-to-consumer brands
  • Hospitality groups and food producers
  • B2B software and professional services firms
  • Home improvement and trades franchises
  • Health, fitness and wellbeing businesses
“For two years we worked with a large network agency and never once spoke to the person managing our account. With Planet 9, I have Danni's mobile number, and she picks up. Our cost per acquisition has fallen by 61%.”
