Our Story
From the kitchen bench to the world 🌎
- Humanising marketing communciations
- Taking customer engagement seriously
- 4 years later Neighbourhood is born
- Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year
Humanising marketing communciations
- Big businesses aren't good at humanising their marketing communications. It was a realisation that came quickly to Trav, a man with a solid background in sales and who had previously owned a creative agency.
- How could such successful companies be doing such a garbage job of treating their customers like actual people?!
Taking customer engagement seriously
- Setting out with a laptop, a phone and the skills learnt from years as a salesman, Trav wanted to encourage businesses to look at customer engagement seriously, to stop just following the herd and start communicating naturally. In short, to be real.
4 years later Neighbourhood is born
- 4 years later, after working with over 134 different clients, Trav decided it was time to fully commit; to refocus his own business on the same goal he’d helped so many other brands achieve. Neighbourhood was born as a force to inspire deeper, more meaningful communication between brands and their people, wherever they may be.
Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year
- It has proved to an inspiration sorely needed, as Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year. By focusing on professional development internally and continuous development for our clients, Neighbourhood is personalising, automating and helping more brands than ever before. Neighbourhood is here to help brands solve their customers problems, not sell to them.
