When to bring Byte in

Typical starting points include a campaign deadline, a need for specialist paid-media management, a website that needs a clearer enquiry journey, an ecommerce feed problem or reporting that needs to connect activity with business outcomes. A clear goal or problem is enough to start a conversation; the first discussion develops the brief.

Geography and delivery

Byte is based in London and works through a remote-first delivery model. The brief establishes the client’s operating areas, campaign markets and meeting arrangements. Published experience includes UK healthcare, local authority and ecommerce work, plus Spotify advertising for Japanese companies reaching UK, US and European audiences.

Engagement arrangements

Choose a defined project, ongoing campaign support or a focused piece of work alongside an existing team. The proposal sets out deliverables, responsibilities, approvals, fees, advertising budgets, third-party costs and the working arrangements. The engagement guide explains onboarding and handover.

Budget planning

Website projects start at £1,200 excluding VAT. The final quote reflects the agreed scope and requirements.

Minimum advertising spend is £500 per month. This is the media budget, separate from agency management fees.

A useful budget separates agency fees from media spend and any website, creative, software or production costs. Byte scopes the work around the objective, audience, systems and delivery requirements. Contact Byte with the intended outcome, campaign dates and available investment to obtain a scoped proposal.

Historical case-study media spend describes that project’s advertising budget, rather than a current service price. The case-study directory provides the corresponding scope and results.

Checking the fit

Byte primarily works with established organisations. Startups can be considered where the brief, available budget and delivery requirements fit. Clients benefit most when they want direct specialist involvement, can provide access and timely approvals, and have a clear business or campaign objective.

The client supplies the business and service information, access and approvals required for the work. For healthcare, the commissioning organisation retains clinical and service decisions while Byte supports communications and campaign delivery.

Core specialisms

Paid media, creative, website delivery and measurement work together. Byte’s particular experience connects NHS and public-health communications, care-provider growth, council survey participation, ecommerce Shopping campaigns and international Spotify advertising. Services describes the full offer.
