No bull, just Brains – London’s laser focused performance marketing agency
The Brains is a well-established and highly respected performance marketing agency based in London. We offer incredibly powerful lead generation and online advertising solutions, including Leads On Tap, our unique formula for generating unlimited leads on LinkedIn, Facebook and via email. With a full and varied client list, and an impressive staff of experienced marketing specialists, we’re uniquely positioned to help you achieve your campaign goals, whether your ambition is to raise brand awareness, gain more sales or identify the ideal target audience for a new proposition.
It’s no secret that there are hundreds of other companies offering similar services to us, and you may ask: what makes us so different from the next digital marketing agency? We like to think it’s our laser focus on results. At The Brains, we have a proven formula that can guarantee up to 5x ROI. That’s a lot of money back in your pocket, plus increased brand visibility and quality content to enhance your website – a promise few agencies can make, let alone keep.
It’s important that any money you spend on marketing with us result in leads, sales and revenue, which is why we never set fluffy metrics for your marketing campaigns. We’re always totally transparent with our clients about what they’re getting out of their partnership with us, and we never take on a new client unless we’re confident of being able to deliver above and beyond their expectations.
We’re logical, honest and sincere, always – and we know that marketing (the right way) takes not only talent, but time and dedication, too. Our primary focus is always on delivering high-quality solutions, and we’re committed to ensuring our clients get their money’s worth every step of the way.

Delivering unlimited leads: the ultimate lead generation strategy
Our Leads On Tap (L.O.T) formula delivers unlimited leads and unbeatable ROI. By combining creative content strategy with powerful data-led insights and cutting edge marketing automations, we deliver incredible results for our clients while helping to lower their marketing costs and streamline their processes.
Every Leads On Tap campaign begins with detailed strategy-setting sessions, designed to determine target audiences, marketing messages and campaign goals. Such detailed analysis involves intense research and data accumulation, but the hard work always pays off when the leads start to swarm in.
There’s no hiding the fact that setting up a Leads On Tap system takes time, typically between three to four weeks, but the reasoning behind our process is simple: the best and most effective marketing solutions require careful set up and planning. Most agencies will choose to save themselves time and cut corners with their strategies, enticing clients with their promises of ‘quicker’ results. We choose to focus on the quality and quantity of leads delivered, rather than rushing to deliver a few leads faster.
We know for a fact that our L.O.T system works, and we have the results to prove it. Over the last five years, our campaigns have averaged a 45% increase in lead volume and a 70% improvement in lead-to-sale conversion rates – and we’re only getting better. There really is no better way to enhance your business and generate leads than by partnering with us at The Brains.

Our detailed workshopping sessions aim to iron out any uncertainties and ensure both the team at The Brains and the clients are fully informed about how each stage of the process will unfold.
Being transparent with our clients is one of the fundamentals of our business model here at The Brains, and we always ensure we’re clear about what clients can expect to see, in terms of results and ROI, from our marketing efforts. With this in mind, we provide month-by-month reports and projections, using specialist tracking systems to give the most accurate data.
When it comes to cost, we maintain transparency from the very beginning of our partnership with you. We’re dedicated to making our solutions the best they can be, while still focusing on affordability. Making sure our clients aren’t paying more than they need to is of utmost importance to us.
We’ve had immense success with clients in numerous sectors over the years, and the feedback we receive goes to show how well a collaborative approach really works when building a performance marketing agency model.
