Say hello to Agency Forty

New Advertising. Literally

What is New Advertising?

New Advertising takes the best of traditional agency creativity, consumer understanding and years of qualified communication results, and uses it to build relationships in the modern digital world.​ It is joined-up thinking that is completely media and screen neutral, where ideas, people and popular culture make brands and build businesses.

Consume

Consumers - we call them friends and fans

They don’t just consume they aren’t guinea pigs, they are real people. This affects how we talk with them, how we engage them and how we build a level of trust with them. In todays world, friends and fans make brands.

Understand

Understanding is everything

Understanding your business landscape is pivotal to success. We invest understanding in you for free before you invest in us.

Create

Open and inspirational

Everything starts with the idea. We deliver always-on marketing that creates reaction and interaction, from websites, digital, mobile and social to television, print and radio.

Collaborate

We work with our clients

To us, the important word here isn’t clients, it is "with". Together we plan the brief, outcome and the resources you'll need, so you only pay for who and what is needed. Total honesty and transparency.

Our Process

Commerce-sense
Commerce-sense

We exist to make money for our clients. Is it gauche to talk about money? Is it unprofessional? No, it is essential in any relationship.

Curve leveling
Clients / Colleagues

We like to work closely with our clients, even working within their businesses when required, so when it comes to clients we think of them more as colleagues.
