About

Latimer is a community-led production company and creative agency. We believe a deep understanding of your audience enables you to best serve their needs.

OUR METHOD ALLOWS YOUR AUDIENCE TO DIRECTLY INFLUENCE YOUR CREATIVE OUTPUT.
LATIMER builds communities of your audience and asks them what they really think right at the start of the creative process. The community is chosen for their influence on their peers - whatever age, location or demographic you need.
Then, we devise compelling content strategies and deliver TV channels and shows, Video On Demand, Campaigns, Web and App builds and digital conferencing, all designed to resonate with your specific target audience.
Then, we re-engage the community to drive peer to peer advocacy, with effective organic social media campaigns that create buzz and deliver fandom.

WE MANAGE THE WHOLE PROCESS:
finding out what your audience thinks, devising strategy, platform builds, TV production, campaign creation, distribution and measurement.
WE KNOW IT WORKS:
Audience participation builds loyalty and buzz around your launch, product, brand or cause.
Your community drives word-of-mouth advocacy, prompting unprecedented engagement and reach.
We've delivered great results for some of the world's biggest brands.
