Our approach has evolved over the years to enable us to work in partnership with our clients as an extension of their teams.
Our planning process is about creating a platform to differentiate with confidence. It starts with building our knowledge and understanding and then challenges our clients to consider the environment they work in from a different angle. Together we explore every touchpoint of your organisation, combining the key factors of your strategic approach with the core principles of your culture and personality to help us define your true point of differentiation. - Planning service works with specific services

We strongly believe in building partnerships with our clients and incorporate significant knowledge sharing and skills transfer into all aspects of our service delivery. We use a blend of training approaches and methods, tailored to our clients and these include collaborative workshops, trainer-led face to face or online remote sessions and tutorials.
For example when delivering a website for a client our team will provide ongoing support and training for the client team to help each member become more confident and at ease with the new system. During the website build we will provide the team with a real-time development link to allow them to review and test the website while in beta format. Prior to go live the Mammoth team will meet with the nominated web editors to provide a training session for your new content management system, your team will also be provided with a bespoke CMS guide.
Another example is we can also provide social media tutorials for clients so that they can understand how to best utilise their social platforms. This involves showcasing examples of best practice and demonstrate strategies and techniques on how to use social media as an effective communication channel with their audience. - Training is tied to specific services
