Welcome to our two new Associates
Stephen Spencer + Associates (SS+A) welcome Danny McLean-Low, Revenue Driver, and Laura Watson, Experience Expert, to their talented team of Retail Specialists
As founder and Ambience Director Stephen says, “we’re here to help - there's probably not been a time in recent memory when getting maximum return on investment was so crucial for businesses. That's the total focus in everything we do.”
SS+A is delighted to be adding two consultants with hands-on experience gained in such luminous environments as The Harry Potter Studio Tours and Merlin Entertainments.
'It's our ambition to make "experiential retail" an accessible concept for every organisation. Laura and Danny have huge experience in this area. With their help we will create a process to help clients extend their core brand into retail and maximise value, and thereby, ROI in these testing times. It's fantastic to have Laura and Danny in our team!' — Stephen Spencer, Ambience Director

Your shop is your event space - an activation or extension of your brand experience. We believe that every journey a customer takes through your store, both on and offline, should immerse them in your values and heritage, and leave them wanting more.
We work with clients to trigger human emotion at every level, because when people love your brand as much as you do, they become engaged followers and loyal customers.
Our team of Associates offers a comprehensive array of skills, and unlike some other consultancies, we have been there, done it, and launched the tee-shirt range, so understand the pressures your clients face and what it takes to get things done and deliver tangible results.
To help potential clients, we offer a free, one-hour, initial discovery session to get focused on the true value businesses need to identify and fulfil.
