Cipher Agency

Manchester, United Kingdom · 21 people

Every agency is the same. You get talked a big game by a director, who only cares about securing the contract, it’s not about the performance or the promises. As soon as you sign on the dotted line, you’re passed to a junior account manager, who’ll do the bare minimum to satisfy. Cipher is the antithesis to this. We’re a small but dedicated team. We give every client 100% dedication. With a combined 17 years of experience in the Paid Media world, you’re in safe hands. This is why every agreement comes with an initial performance guarantee. Through collaborative conversations, we’ll find an offer that suits you. If we don’t hit the initial increase agreed, you won’t pay. We’re flexible in our payment structures, depending on the needs and size of your business. We accept flat fee retainers, % of revenue or % of ad spend. Your success, is our success.
