The marketing side

Work with us. Then belong to something.

Partners come to The 40 for one discipline and stay for the house. Four practices, one senior team, and a standing seat inside a portfolio of established companies.

Discipline 01

Content Creation

A full production engine: campaign films, social-native series, photography, editorial and audio. Strategy, calendar and craft handled by one team so the output never drifts.

  • Campaign and brand film
  • Social-native series and always-on content
  • Photography and art direction
  • Editorial, scripting and copy
Discipline 02

Brand Architecture & Identity

The structural work: what the brand is, what sits under it, and how it is recognised. We design systems meant to hold for decades, not seasons.

  • Naming, positioning and narrative
  • Portfolio and sub-brand architecture
  • Visual identity and design systems
  • Verbal identity and tone of voice
Discipline 03

Advertising

Creative that earns attention and media that compounds it. Concept to placement, with performance read honestly and adjusted by people who made the work.

  • Creative direction and concepting
  • Production and post
  • Paid social, search and OOH planning
  • Measurement and creative iteration
Discipline 04

Advisory

Senior counsel for leadership teams — growth, partnership, category positioning and the decisions that outlive a campaign.

  • Growth and go-to-market counsel
  • Partnership and sponsorship strategy
  • Category and competitive positioning
  • Team building and creative operations
How it goes

A partnership, sequenced.

Every engagement begins the same way: a consultation with a person. What follows is deliberate and transparent.

01

The Consultation

A real conversation with the people who will do the work. No pitch deck theatre, no account handlers.

02

The Read

We audit the brand, the market and the audience, then say plainly what we believe and what we would change.

03

The Build

Architecture, identity and content built in sprints, reviewed in the room, signed by named leads.

04

The Long Game

Ongoing advisory and production as a partner under the umbrella — with access to the whole house.

By invitation & application

Join The 40.

We take on a deliberately small number of partners each season — companies and individuals alike. Begin with a consultation and a conversation with a person, not a form letter.
