What the phone looks like for a London marketing agency
London and the wider Greater London has a population of around 9.7 million, built on professional services, hospitality and an enormous base of independent trades serving them. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a marketing agency working across the City, Camden and Croydon most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
An agency that does not answer its own phone loses the argument before the first meeting.
Callwise answers on your own 020 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

London marketing agencies ask us
Do we keep our 020 number?
Yes. Your existing 020 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how London customers reach you changes.
Do you work with marketing agencies outside London?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so London and everywhere across Greater London is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Does it look bad for an agency to use one?
Less bad than an unanswered phone. Most agencies find it becomes a talking point, because prospects ring it deliberately to hear what it does.
Can it screen out cold callers?
Yes, politely and quickly, which is most of the interruption an agency phone generates.
Will it qualify new business?
It asks about budget, timescale and scope, so a discovery call is only booked when it is worth having.
Marketing agencies elsewhere
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a London customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
