Thunder & Flash Marketing is a marketing collective, functioning like a traditional agency but made up of a group of skilled, independent marketing experts. Founded and managed by Ross Berridge, who has 15 years of experience in project and relationship management across various businesses and agencies, Thunder & Flash's distinctive operational model makes it agile and adaptable while offering a full range of marketing services at lower costs than many other agencies. The collective prioritizes understanding clients’ business objectives, challenges, and goals before selecting channels or services. While this strategy may be considered standard practice, it’s not as common as one might assume. This method ensures that client budgets are allocated to services that contribute to specific, measurable goals rather than simply relying on what seems appropriate. Thunder & Flash Marketing emphasizes its expertise in data, tracking, and reporting, ensuring accountability and transparency is central to its operations. This aligns with their philosophy of "business goals first" marketing, where clear key performance indicators (KPIs) and outcomes are established upfront with clients, allowing for the assessment of each action based on its contribution to reaching the desired objectives.
