Summerhouse

Based in Verwood, Dorset, Summerhouse has operated as a creative and marketing partner since 1988, working with both well-known national brands and regional businesses and start-ups. The agency is small, with a core team covering design, digital, media planning and strategy, supported by a network of external specialists such as photographers, music producers, TV production companies, app developers, interior designers, printers and signage companies built up over more than thirty years. It describes itself as full service and media neutral, meaning it works across a broad mix of media owners, from small local publications to major UK television, radio and outdoor advertising companies. The declared service range covers SEO, web design, advertising, branding, content marketing, public relations, social media marketing and UX/UI design, reflecting a combined creative-and-marketing offering rather than a single specialism. Client work referenced includes brand custodianship, customer engagement campaigns spanning print, digital, video and interior design, and media planning and buying, including experience with Sky Adsmart. The team includes co-founders handling design and client management, a creative director overseeing digital and production quality, a director of planning and strategy with a background in the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, and a dedicated media planner and buyer. Work is carried out from a purpose-built office and studio in Verwood, and the agency positions its approach around long-standing client relationships and a straightforward, collaborative way of working.
