We work with specialists of all shapes and sizes – – to grow retail businesses.
Here are some of the businesses and organisations that have found a great match in us.
Very proud to report that in my more than 25 years of Shopping Centre Management covering 10 centres, Velocity WW have absolutely smashed it like no other agency, here at Lion Yard Cambridge. They came on board 5 years ago and completely got my vision for the centre, helping us transform our approach and marketing results. The result, we went on to win a Purple Apple award which was absolutely brilliant, had total new innovations and ideas which brought huge footfall, dwell and spend to the (now) fully let centre and its tenants. Superb.Roger Allen Centre Manager: Lion Yard
I’ve worked with Velocity for almost six years at Parkway, during that time they have become so much more than just a marketing agency. They have become an essential part of the make-up of Parkway, they have become custodians of our brand identity not just from a marketing perspective but also delivering a visual style on the malls which is both consistent but at the same time continues to evolve. They came to us as events specialists initially and that skill set remains strong, every event they deliver for us is polished and professional. It also delivers on driving footfall and creating recognition loops that reinforce in the visitors minds what Parkway is - a quality scheme. In reality, Parkway is scheme that is supported by a quality marketing agency and that shows through.Andrew Marmot Centre Manager: Parkway
