IT Support for Marketing & Creative Agencies

Client data you are contractually on the hook for

Agencies rarely think of themselves as data businesses, but you hold plenty: client campaign plans under NDA, customer mailing lists, unreleased creative, and sometimes payment or analytics data pulled in for targeting. Brand clients increasingly send security questionnaires before they sign, and a leaked embargoed campaign or a breached mailing list is both a UK GDPR matter and a fast way to lose an account. We put the access controls, encryption and tested backups in place so you can answer those questionnaires honestly and keep client trust intact.

What we look after

Creative work has specific demands, and generic IT often gets them wrong. We support the tools your team actually uses:

• Adobe Creative Cloud — licence management, shared libraries, plug-ins and the storage that fills up faster than anyone expects
• Mixed Mac and Windows fleets — designers on macOS, account and finance staff on Windows, all under one help desk
• Large asset files — video, layered PSDs and RAW photography that punish slow disks and thin networks
• Cloud collaboration — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus shared drives and hand-off between studio and remote workers
• Fast onboarding — accounts, licences and kit ready before a new hire or freelancer starts

Behind that sits the unglamorous work: a network and Wi-Fi that moves gigabyte files without stalling, and backup and continuity so a dead drive never means a lost deliverable.

Uptime when the deadline is fixed

A pitch date does not move because your file server is down. Render deadlines, client review calls and campaign go-lives all assume the tools are working. Two pressures hit agencies harder than most: storage that quietly fills as projects pile up, and version chaos when several people edit the same asset. We keep an eye on capacity before it bites, structure shared storage so the right version is obvious, and make sure archived project files are recoverable months later when a client asks for a re-edit. Strong cyber security matters too — creative teams are a common phishing target, since a hijacked account can reach client contacts and invoices.

How we help — honestly

Most agencies this size do best on managed IT support: a monthly arrangement where we run updates, security, backups and the help desk so your team stops losing hours to tech. Day-to-day fixes are handled by remote IT support, which is quickest for software and account issues. When something needs hands on hardware — a workstation upgrade, a network fault, an office move — on-site support across South London, Croydon and Surrey covers it, often through our sister company PC Macgicians. We are honest about which jobs are remote and which need a visit, so nothing sits waiting.

Who this is for

This suits marketing, design, branding, video and digital agencies from a handful of people up to a few dozen, especially those scaling quickly or juggling freelancers on short contracts. If your Macs and PCs are managed by whoever is least busy, if Adobe licences and starter setups eat your studio manager’s week, or if a client’s security questionnaire made you nervous, that is exactly where we help.
