What we do

Pollen blends senior strategic leadership with an agile specialist execution team to turn scattered marketing into a repeatable, profitable growth engine - whether your customers are consumers or businesses.

In-House Growth Leadership

Embed senior growth talent and C-suite capabilities. Without the overhead and with a hotline to our delivery teams.

Performance Marketing

Omni-channel campaigns optimised to the metrics that matter, the numbers that show up in board decks, not just ad accounts - contribution margin, payback periods, incremental revenue.

Video & Creative

Creative is now the growth lever across paid social. We don’t rely on competitor imitation or brute-force volume. We build strategic, insight-led creative, personalised at scale, to compound performance.

CRM & Lifecycle Marketing

Power up your customer journey from first-touch to loyal advocate. Utilising the latest technologies including HubSpot and Klaviyo we help you to better understand, engage, and convert your leads, and develop loyalty with your customers.

SEO & Content

Lovingly crafted content hosted on an elegant website may never be read, unless optimised for search engines and AI. Working collaboratively with our content and website specialists, SEO and AEO will achieve significant, consistent and long-term ROI.

Brand Strategy

To build a successful business you need a brand which resonates with your audience. A brand that helps to differentiate you in the market. Not one generated by AI. It is your company persona, and your identity, from which your entire business operates and communicates, not just marketing.

Data, Analytics & Marketing Science

We model your marketing mix, run lift studies, and design measurement frameworks that reveal where growth is really coming from, so you can invest and scale with confidence. Vanity metrics don’t pay the bills so we build reports around board level metrics such as contribution margin, not CPC or ROAS.

AI Transformation & Automation

Unlock smarter marketing with AI agents, AI-powered workflows, segmentation, and insight.

Explore Solutions

Our sweet spot? Ambitious start-ups and scale-ups, from pre-launch to £10 million annual revenue.

The AI edge

You don’t need to understand AI. You just need a partner who does.

We're obsessed with learning and integrating the latest AI tools - not to replace human thinking, but to elevate it. From predictive analytics to automated customer journeys, we use AI to drive performance that compounds growth.
