Perfect Pitch small print
• We’ve learned a lot about brands and businesses and consumers over the years, including the secret truth
about consumer research (available as part of the package). Which is why Perfect Pitch is only for agencies
and not for clients. And it’s why we use a success fee; you win, we win. We really, really want you to win.
 Perfect Pitch applies only to agencies working on a pitch. We work for only one agency on any pitch.
 The success fee applies if/when you win the business in any form.
 Our studio (Propeller) uses four broadcast-quality cameras to film groups. Hire of Propeller Studio
(evenings only) is subject to availability, with cancellation charges.
 A branded research document is included (if needed). Our job is to help to make the ideas as strong as
they can be. So we work with you until there is genuinely positive feedback.
 How much? Some general figures: to recruit and run a group, £1250. Recruit a group for you to run,
£400. Hire of our studio for an evening, £500. Success fee = 200%.

We used Perfect Pitch and found it efficient, insightful and perfectly calibrated to help agencies win
business. Which we did, on that occasion at least. Richard Swaab, Executive Vice Chairman, AMVBBDO
During the intensity of the pitch it's good to have an independent perspective, if you
can’t see the wood for the trees. Tony Quinn, Chief Strategy Officer, Publicis London
