A different culture

A uniquely structured approach to ROI

Here at AJ, we’re completely focused on maximising our client’s ROI. In order to do that we work in a very different way. Our unique approach is a structured, cyclical process based on analysis, creative development and testing.

It’s what drives us and has made us one of the most successful direct response agencies in the UK.

We never give up!

We moved our OTP buying to AJ in an attempt to revive a channel that had previously performed well but was suffering declining response and increasing CPAs. Their creative options and media buying rates have already breathed new life into our activity. They understand our brand and the challenges we face.

MAKING THE NUMBERS COUNT

Understanding our clients’ results, targets and margins means we offer unique insight, maximising every opportunity to make the most of their budgets. Our media team is passionate about circulations, CPT, buying rates, responses, sales values and ROI. Results and analysis are our foundation and this approach equips us to negotiate the best rates for our clients. We have no contracts or share deals with any media owners so there is only ever one reason a channel or title would be on a plan, because we believe it will work.
