How we work

We work on projects from concept to completion, and everything in-between. We keep things clear and simple - working on either a retained or one-off cost basis. We listen and work closely with clients to create the right opportunity in each location. Working out what they WANT and then matching with what the location and market WANTS. We are known for creating beautiful products and brands that create genuine excitement, go viral and having people queuing around the block. We love a roadblock! We also have high volume operational experience we ensure we can convert into the best possible experience and deliver a profitable and sustainable model.

The team

Andy Windsor
CEO
(Marketing Consultant)

Making raves since 98.

Andy started out by putting on a rave at Manchester Academy aged 19. It sold out. The rest is history, clubs became bars, bars became restaurants. 25 years later and he still maintains the best way to market is focus on the product, be your own channel and build your own audience. Post raving, Andy cut his teeth in the early days of Revolution. His first concept was Revolucion De Cuba. Working closely with Roy Ellis + Neil Macleod for 12 years at both Inventive Leisure and Mission Mars as Marketing Director. Andy went on to start Ramona with Adelaide WInter and Joel Wilkinson in 2020, and went on to create and market Firehouse and Diecast. A lead marketing consultant, Andy has now opened and marketed 51 concepts in the UK.

From Gorilla to Ramona, Albert’s Schloss to Diecast, Clem has been the behind the scenes master of experience. We’re talking logistics. Sleeves up and hands on. Our Ops team is the difference between Want and other agencies. We can bring the vibe but we can also raise oepration standards. Retail is detail. From welcome, layouts to service, suppliers and mis en place. Clem has transformed client kitchens to 5-star standard. Before we market a business, we focus on what the experience is and this is where Clem excels. Did we mention he’s French? Magnifique.
