This is where the quote goes. It looks weird in the designer but it's because we're using  Javascript to load these in from a CMS collection, the script is only called when the page is rendered normally in a browser, it's not going to work in the designer, I'm afraid. #sadface

Vicki O’Hare

Head of Legacy Marketing

"The TV advert was a completely new venture for the RSPB’s Legacy Team.  Thanks to Catsnake’s faultless professionalism, passion and creativity it felt like they were an extension of our own team. Meticulous attention to detail and evaluation throughout the campaign lifecycle, resulted in ever increasing success.

Other departments were impressed and are now working with Catsnake on future projects!"

"With increased investment in legacy marketing, and a priority to innovate in a digital space, Catsnake proposed a highly ambitious plan - and exceeded expectations!

Results speak for themselves, almost doubling our leads target and the lowest average cost per lead of any legacy campaign to date.  Greenpeace are now rolling out this ‘blueprint for success’ on a global scale."

"Catsnake have done an amazing job developing our new Legacy Creative proposition.

They were methodical, systematic and strategic but also highly creative and collaborative. We trusted their approach and expertise and allowed them to do what they do best. They understood the brief, the audience and ultimately created a proposition that is on brand but also stretches us."
