Here’s what our clients say about us...

Dom Light
Having just concluded our first creative marketing project with Gavin Willis, we could not be more delighted with the results. The project ran seamlessly from start to finish, our brief was interpreted and followed with precision and creativity, leading to a fantastic outcome. The team at Gavin Willis Creative Marketing were a pleasure to work with through the project.
Patrick Kitson
Thoroughly enjoyed working with the team. Super helpful with our wordpress requirements
Steve Lang
Gavin and his Team are a joy to work with, incredibly professional, supportive and delivered our project on time. Would highly recommend!
Stu Hosker
GWCM has been a crucial partner in maintaining our NHS North East London digital presence. Their attention to detail during the migration process and ongoing support have been exceptional. With their WordPress expertise, our sites are up-to-date and meet public sector accessibility standards, ensuring we meet our organisation’s statutory requirements and help provide engaging information to local people and stakeholders. A reliable and skilled team indeed!
Dave Lewis

Paul Holder
A brilliant and creative team that’s always a pleasure to work with.
Tom McCulloch
We've been using the services of GWCM for many years. Fantastic, creative ideas and always a bit of challenge to get the most out what you're looking for - very easy and friendly to work with too. We keep coming back, what else can I say....
Brant Richards
We were fed up with working with one-man band "IT Crowd" type web support freelancers, we decided to hire GWCM to handle updates and developments on our £2million per year turnover fast moving ecommerce platform.

It's been transformative! I've not had to buy a kayak to support anyone in times of need. Nobody has broken our toilet seat. They've not been weird to our employees. They just get on and do the job. On schedule. At a great price.

Rather than hiring some bloke from the pub to do your webstuff, sometimes it's OK to hire an agency to do it, even if the "creative marketing" in their makes my skin itch a bit.

Thanks Christian (the point of contact we've got) - you're a gem.
Rosie Hayes
Christian has been great at helping with various Wordpress issues. Really helpful and responsive and the development work is high quality and good value. Really glad we found Gavin Willis!
Sarah Parr
We have been nothing but impressed with everything Gavin Willis has done for us in support of our flood project. Not only is the design work of an exceptionally high standard, the customer service, the speed that things happen and the friendliness of the team is all excellent. Nina has become one of our team as far as we are concerned. I would recommend them everyday for all branding and website needs.

Suzanne Tinkler
The Gavin Willis team are always really helpful and will respond quickly to design briefs and any questions that we have.
They are both knowledgeable and professional and a pleasure to work with.
Kathryn Hall
We needed our public health annual report designed in a digital format in a short space of time, to a high standard. Not only did Gavin Willis say they could do the job, they met the deadline to a very high standard. After the initial contact, Gavin and Nina came to meet us the same day presenting some examples of their work and to gain an understanding of what we required. Throughout the process, Nina, the designer was in regular contact with updates about progress and expected draft deadlines. The communication was excellent and the standard of work was exceptional. We have since asked for hard copies of the report which have also been produced to a very high standard.

After this initial piece of work, we worked closely with Gavin Willis, Nina in particular, to create assets for social media, outdoor advertising, digital screens, bus adverts and varying other channels during the pandemic to create public information. Each time, it was like Nina read my mind and turned my thoughts into reality, she was a pleasure to work with, prompt, a great communicator and with good attention to detail.

The whole team are friendly, professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Gavin Willis.
Nikita Wiseman
GWCM have provided a professional and friendly service on a number of projects I have led or supported. The content and designs produced has been phenomenal because they are engaged and take the time to understand what we are trying to achieve. Nina Billington provides guidance and advice while delivering a high quality service with amazing levels of flexibility when needed. They go above and beyond for their clients, I couldn't recommend more highly.
Lindsay Bradley
Having recently worked with GWCM I found them to be a first-rate creative agency to work with. Their expertise, professionalism and friendly nature is exceptional, whilst delivering distinctive creativity and development skills. I would highly recommend this supplier.
Scott Taylor
GWCM went above and beyond throughout the whole process.
