The agency is a trading name of Stepping Stones (Enterprises) Ltd, a small team offering a broad marketing remit that spans research, branding, PR, web and graphic design alongside search engine optimisation.

Within market research specifically, the agency describes offering both primary and secondary research methods. Primary techniques include face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, focus groups, mystery shopping and postal surveys, allowing clients to gather direct feedback from target audiences. Secondary research draws on existing sources to supply detailed information on business sectors, economic trends and forecasts. Beyond research, the declared service list covers branding and identity, copywriting, event management, graphic design, marketing consultancy, online marketing, outsourced marketing and project management, PR and communications, sales distribution, search engine optimisation and website design, along with music promotion and management and promotional gifts.
