who we are
So, we promised to explain a bit more about what we meant on the home page.
For us, producing great creative work is a must, but we also want to get to the bottom of our clients' business issues and find out more about their customers and what makes them tick. We don't believe that advertising is the only answer - it might be an internal communications plan, PR, an event or some sales training - it depends on what your issues are.
We want to help move your business forward and make a difference. So we look at innovative and impactful ways of getting the right message to the right people at the right time that needn't cost the earth.
If you'd like to hear more about what Aardvark could do for your business, drop us a line - email rebekah@aardvark.bm
OK, now you can look at our pretty faces.

Rebecca Davies (the harmoniser)With a degree in French & German, this diva hails from Wales, the land of song. But don't be fooled by her calm and pensive work persona; when the words start scrolling and the music kicks in, she is the first either on stage or behind it volunteering at the Daylesford Theatre. With a flare for the dramatic, she's been behind the scenes on a TV shoot in South Africa, enjoyed a free cruise to research a new client and has met the Queen's official impersonator. She's also a member of the Media Council of Bermuda. |
