Who are TLC Business?

Inspiring and effective marketing & design company, passionate about our clients.

‘Actions and results speak louder than words’ approach in all that we do.

Committed to listening and understanding our client’s specific needs.

our TLC Business philosophy

As part of The Lifetime Company group, TLC Business upholds the values on which our company was built, namely meeting the specific needs of our clients. Our belief is that actions speak louder than words, but results drown them both out. Delivering results and value for your organisation is what motivates our team.

PIPE
We do this through employing our PIPE Marketing Formula in everthing that we do:


Preparation + Inspiration + Perspiration + Evaluation = Realisation

We believe that incorporating the principles behind each part of this formula into all of our marketing activities, guarantees more effective marketing, a greater return on investment and a dramatic reduction in wasted time, money and effort. Surely a good thing, we think you'll agree!

Easy to work with
Allied with results, we believe it is important to enjoy working with us. In order to achieve this, we listen to how you want to work and adapt our working processes and methods of delivery accordingly.

Good communicators
Good communication is vital to building a lasting relationship and we recognise that this is crucial to the success of any campaign. We have developed systems that allow the clear, simple and quick transfer of information both internally between our teams and externally with suppliers and, most importantly, you, our clients. This ensures everyone is fully informed of progress and developments throughout the lifetime of every project.
