[edit] Agency Ethos

The Leagas Delaney ethos is – ‘Substance matters’.

Why?

Leagas Delaney believes that without substance an idea can be too thin to stretch to all the different media used by consumers these days.

• Substance gives a company conviction and belief about its communications.

• Substance allows any number of ideas to be created off one strategy.

• Substance means that new media experimentation won’t blow a brand off course.

• Substance means the smallest marketing initiatives will always tie in with the biggest, most expensive activities.
