who we've worked with

When national brand Vanarama decided to launch its consumer-facing car leasing business, Autorama, darkstrike was appointed to head up the marketing launch. We built a value proposition from scratch, helped to create the brand assets and identity, produced a brand strategy, and a full multi-channel marketing plan with a sizeable budget. Working with third-party agencies and in-house teams, darkstrike built a brand from nothing and launched it to market in 2018, generating prolific sales and high impact from the very beginning.

"Engaging Amy as our Marketing Consultant has been one of the best business decisions we have made to date, and she has become an asset to our business. Amy understands our business, clients and strategy and has initiated an exciting marketing journey as we proceed to implement the marketing plan that she designed specifically for us. For example, in just a few months, and with what was initially a limited budget, we have increased our website stats by over 400% in terms of numbers of users, traffic and page views and those figures continue to grow rapidly. Amy has exceeded all of our expectations and as a result we continue to increase our marketing budget, because we can see the return and the added value she provides. Highly recommended."
