“We have an excellent track record when it comes to advising clients on multi-million pound land and development deals and helping them to navigate the planning system.

“Where we recognised we needed additional support was in the area of marketing. We had a good in-house team, but we tasked Maxim with helping them nurture our social media presence, especially on LinkedIn, deliver the editorial content and design for our Blueprint newsletter, and offer strategic marketing advice. 

“A key project undertaken by Maxim is Blueprint, a summary of our notable planning successes, highlighting the depth and breadth of DHA’s success, across and the south-east and beyond. Produced three times a year, Maxim helps coordinate the storyboard, interview our teams and right the content in a consistent editorial style. Then their designer adds the final creative touches before we email or send out a printed version. Every edition is well received and generates sales enquiries. 

“As a regional independent consultancy, constantly up against major national names, we knew we had to demonstrate why companies should put their trust in us. Achieving awards success was part of our strategy and in 2021 we were crowned South East Planning Team of the Year. Maxim helped us to tease out why we warranted such an accolade and then helped us present the case to our industry’s governing body: Royal Town & Planning Institute (RTPI). And the good news is that awards have continued to flow. 

“We have a close relationship with Maxim. In fact, we refer work to each other, confident in the knowledge that both companies will deliver what the respective client needs and expects.”
