About Savoir

Strategy first. Camera second.

Savoir is a creative marketing partner for brands and businesses that care about how they're seen. We start with the business, then tell its story properly, wherever it needs to be told.

The story

I've sat in your chair. Before Savoir, I ran my own business for seven years and managed busy teams and venues.

So I know what it's like to keep the diary, the team and the customer experience running while marketing sits on the to-do list. And I know a beautiful shot only matters if it helps someone choose you.

That's why Savoir starts with the business, not the camera. We get to know what you're building and who it's for, then plan, create and launch the work that tells that story properly.

Today that means product launches, industry events, recruitment firms, clinics and brands of every kind, across the UK and abroad. I'm Melissa Mitchelmore, and I'd love to hear what you're building.

What we believe

A few things we live by

Marketing starts before the camera
Understanding the business and its customers comes first. The shoot is where that thinking becomes visible.
We keep asking "And what?"
A feature is only the start. We keep asking until it becomes a reason someone would actually choose you.
People buy a feeling
Time to themselves, a reset, more confidence. We find the feeling behind the booking and build the story around it.
Measured in bookings, not likes
Reach is lovely. Enquiries, bookings and sales are what we measure.

Where we work

Our studio changes every week.

Sometimes it's an actual studio. Sometimes it's your office, your shop floor, a hotel in Edinburgh, a conference in Spain or a launch in London. Wherever the story is, across the UK and worldwide, we'll be there, usually with a very full camera bag.

You get the first post. We never share your work before you've launched it.
Bookings over views. We look at what actually brings people through the door.
Your business first. We ask about it before we pick up a camera.

Kind words
