The people you'd be handing it to.
Specialists in one room in Newcastle. One runs paid search all day, one runs paid social, one SEO, one email, and a designer, a writer and a video producer sit next to them. Nothing is subcontracted. Ring us and whoever picks up can tell you where your account is up to.
One person can't be good at all of it.
A single marketing hire is strong on one thing and stretched across the other five. A freelancer knows one channel and not your business. A big agency knows everything and rotates the account before anyone learns your name. What you actually need is several specialists who all know your business, and someone whose job it is to make them pull the same way. That's what this is.
These are the people who'd do your work.
The same people on every job. Strategy sits next to the specialists because the agency is one operation, not a sales floor handing off to a delivery floor.

It's the huddles.
Clients who've been to the studio tend to say the same thing: the account gets talked about most days, by more than one person, so whoever you get hold of knows where things are.
You need to be in their presence in the office to witness the team huddles and conversations about client accounts. As a client it gives you great confidence knowing that their guidance and support offered is a team orientated offering. At any time that you call or email, any person is likely to know about the status of the account.

Inky Thinking
I believe Mira, as a result of their investment and efforts to understand our business, now feel more like an internal part of our business, operating on our behalf as an extension of us.

North East Escapes
Started in Newcastle in 2018, and still here.
Mira started in 2018 doing the marketing for Newcastle businesses, with one rule: the people you hire do the work. Eight years on, the clients are bigger and the rule hasn't changed.
Every hire we've made was paid for by a client staying, not by an investor.
We're here because we live here, and because the people we want to hire are here. We'd rather they stayed in the North East than left for London.
The Media Exchange, Ouseburn.
The studio sits on Coquet Street in Ouseburn, within walking distance of the Tyne, the bars and the bridges. Open most weekdays. Visitors welcome with a heads-up, and clients in the North East tend to come in.
The five rules we work to.
They decide how we price, what we take on and who does the work. Read them as a test: if they don't fit the way you want to work, better we both find out now.
- 01
Value, not hours
You buy an outcome and the seniority behind it, so there's no timesheet to argue over.
- 02
One platform first
We get one paid platform paying for itself before we add the next, so the budget isn't spread thin while we learn.
- 03
No number we can't prove
If we can't show you where a figure came from, it doesn't go in the report.
- 04
In-house, always
Everyone who works on your account is employed here in Newcastle. If a job sits outside what we do well, we say so instead of buying it in.
- 05
Smaller scope, not a smaller price
If the budget won't stretch to the plan, we cut the plan, because a discount quietly turns into less work.
We're hiring.
