A reason for being
When I started TAP in 2002 the aim was simple. To create an agency culture that I wanted to work in with good people, great clients and a supportive working environment. An environment that attracts talented, like-minded people who want to concentrate their energy on clients and achieving rather than playing company politics (we don’t do politics).
So that is our reason for being and I am delighted to say that we have a team at TAP that has the ability to make a real difference to our clients. This approach and collective experience has also helped us develop an extensive global network of content generators and marketing specialists, enabling us to offer an accurate and creative approach to regional requirements.
Over the last 30+ years we have seen amazing change in the agency world. Historically a good creative idea would win and retain you the business. Now through technology the world is so much more accountable and that good creative concept is tracked along the whole messaging journey through to a sale. As well as this accountability, the whole way of reaching people has changed beyond all recognition. This has bought a new set of challenges because your messaging can easily be presented to the right audience, in the right environment and at the right time, but it has to appeal and generate engagement.
So, this is where we start, with the engaging content.
Anyway, there is far more to TAP than just me. We thought that it might be more interesting to ask other members of the team why TAP is important to them.

Why we like working at TAP
Shaun Cooper
Head of Insight
"Having worked at a few agencies, TAP is different. Being independent and Client driven, the entire team work seamlessly together to create and produce ideas that work quickly in the real world.
Duncan the founder, genuinely cares about the team, our Clients and the development of the business. It might be old fashioned, but too often you can lose sight of who matters most and why we love getting out of bed Monday to Friday."

"I really enjoy working for TAP as I get to indulge my two great passions- my love of all things creative and the world of agriculture. We get to work on UK and worldwide projects and I really get a kick out of seeing our projects come to life – it sounds like a cliché but there are really no two days the same here.
To top it all off, we have a really talented team at TAP – not only are they are great fun to be around, but the results produced when we work together on projects is fantastic!
Borja Vega
Senior Manager - Spain
"I've always wanted to work in marketing/communications. With the internet, there are plenty of fascinating opportunities and it's changed the way that we interact/communicate/buy.
In the last 10 years I’ve work with startups, international companies, local businesses, big and small agencies, radio, newspaper and even TV. I love how over year I’ve never been bored because when you work in digital marketing there is always a new platform, a new trend to get involved in."
