In a few short months of working with Advertising Excellence Steve and the team took Halo from being new to print advertising to a point where print advertising was our single biggest source of new customers. It was only with AdEx’s responsiveness, expertise and access that, as a new brand, we were able to launch in so many publications so quickly and so successfully. Our partnership with AdEx continues to be instrumental to our success.

I was introduced to Steve Foreman of Advertising Excellence by a business colleague. My business had been built upon referral systems with commission paid to introducers. Steve suggested initially newspaper advertising. I was cynical since it appeared to me to be a cost without a guaranteed benefit where as my introducers were paid upon business successfully completed. I couldn’t have been more wrong. My initial ‘dip in the water’ resulted in far more business than I could have hoped for. Not only that but the service provided is outstanding – all the hassle I thought may be involved was removed by the firm’s specialists in different areas. I really cannot recommend Advertising Excellence enough.

“I’ve used Steve Foreman and his team for some years now and our blunt approach with each other has always worked well! From a punchy start we developed the relationship from zero to spending hundreds of thousands of pounds a month, understanding that for a partnership to work, both parties need to benefit. Steve also understands the fact that ATL needs to compete with digital channels and that this shouldn’t be overlooked, especially when traditionally the two channels operate on completely different commercial models.

Nick Stevens, Digital Trading Director

Working with Steve and the wider Advertising Excellence team always results in getting business done with the minimum of hassle and fuss. Like all good agency leaders, Steve puts the performance of his clients media first BUT with the understanding that his media owner commercial partners have objectives to achieve as well. This results in a collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship for client, agency and publisher. What I have always found with Advertising Excellence is that there is a willingness to look at the client’s business from multiple angles, often resulting in new routes to market and revenue opportunities for all parties.

We have been working with Advertising Excellence for many years now, a key client of ours who are flexible, proactive and always open to new ideas.

Easy to work with, always up for a laugh and always willing to do you a favour. Likewise the rest of the team who are always friendly and happy to help.
Samuel Hatton, Account Manager
Mail Metro Media
Global have worked with Advertising Excellence for many years now and have developed what we describe as a Global partnership. This a relationship built of trust and understanding. Working to Steve and the team’s brief we quickly build multi-platform media solutions across Global’s Audio, Outdoor, DAX and Digital products that provide clients solutions that work. The team at Advertising Excellence understand all our media channels and the diverse audience segmentation available and as such campaign planning is quick and efficient. The strength of the partnership allows for true collaboration and in most cases a direct relationship built with the client, alongside that of the agency. This is unique and seldom replicated with other direct agencies where the client is kept at a distance. This uniqueness has allowed us to work on Return on Investment modelling, sharing data with clients and optimising campaigns. Advertising Excellence have been pioneers in this and I believe added significant value to both the client outcome and a long term loyalty between all parties.
Hugh Murray, Managing Director
Global
We have worked with Steve and his team at Advertising Excellence since their inception and they have always worked totally collaboratively with us in order to get any campaigns over the line. The Ad Ex team have always had no problem with introducing us to their clients as their belief is that we know more about our brands than they do! Across the board, this is pretty rare and I really think that this has helped all parties to book significant revenues over the last 20 years or so.
Mark Saunds, Account Director
Bauer Media Group
Having worked with Advertising Excellence for over 15 years it’s a testament to Steve’s personality and easy going nature that I can happily call him a friend. Having worked together through recessions and other diffi cult periods Steve and his team have always had a positive outlook and have consistently found ways to increase spend and brand count into our products. Nothing is ever too much hassle for Steve (anytime of the day or night) if and when problems arise which all adds to a brilliant working relationship. All of this is why Advertising Excellence is one of our top 5 spending Independent Agencies.

Steve Foreman has helped grow my business and his advice and counsel has consistently provided results. Years of experience on different sides of the fence and at the top media owners in the country gives him a unique understanding of the buying process, unimpeachable relationships and how to get the best value. Crucially Steve has that rare ability to be direct and gives his honest held opinions rather than lip service. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve, he deserves every success and looks after the interests of his clients.
