What Our Clients Say

Ellie Botwood, Bot Inc PR, Branding and Sales Consultancy in Advertising, Film and Art

I’ve had my own business for the past 6 years and I’ve always struggled to keep on top of my accounts and invoices. Creative and Numbers have been imperative in helping me get back on track and taking away a lot of the headache so I can concentrate on what I’m good at. During the Covid-19 crisis, they provided knowledge, insight and advice in what was a really scary and precarious time. Sometimes there’s nothing quite reassuring than hearing it will be OK and we will get it sorted. I’m very grateful I found them when I did!
