Borga GussoSeaVoxI’ve worked with a lot of marketing agencies over the years and Staunton Rook are by far the best, and are now a critical extension of my business as opposed to just being ‘someone’ in the supply chain! More importantly, they are super simple to work with and will create a package to suit your budgets.

Why Professional Retouching Over Quick App Edits?
One-tap filters are fine for social posts. Marketing images need more. Here is how the two compare.
| Area | Staunton Rook studio | Quick app edits |
|---|---|---|
| Detail | Retouched layer by layer by hand | One-tap filters and presets |
| Complexity | Objects removed and whole areas rebuilt | Small blemishes only |
| Colour | Balanced with curves and levels for print and web | Auto-enhance |
| Consistency | Team and product shots matched across a set | Each image different |
| Formats | Sized for print resolution or fast web loading | Whatever the app exports |
| Advice | Suggestions from an experienced studio | Down to you |
The imagery in your marketing speaks volumes about your business, so make sure it says the right things.
