About us…

We are

The Hook Agency

Three experts in our individual sectors of Branding, Photography and Marketing.

In 2022 we came together to create something new to support businesses in and around Colchester, Essex.

As a collective, we seamlessly provide a one-stop shop of branding, marketing and photography to get your business where you want it to be.

We love working together, our team ethos runs through everything we do to make the experience of working with us, whether that be in a workshop, a networking event or at our Hook Project as enjoyable as possible.

This course is FANTASTIC!

From the very basics through to more complex, they teach you it all. It’s super educational but fun and light hearted too.

I am so excited to put everything that I’ve learnt into practice. It was great to learn alongside a great group of ladies and to be taught by 3 fab ladies! I would highly recommend this course.
