DATA WE COLLECT

The label ‘personal data’ is applied to any information from which an individual can be identified. It does not include data where your identity has been removed (anonymised data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data we hold about you. We have grouped the categories of personal data we may collect into the following groups:

  • Usage data includes information about how you use our website, services and resources.
  • Marketing and communications data includes your marketing communications preferences.

We also use, collect and share aggregated data. This data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data, as it does not reveal your identity, either directly or indirectly. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you, such as your race, religious beliefs or health information.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

Under data protection laws, you have the right to request the following (in relation to your personal data) under certain circumstances:

ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You can make a data subject access request. This entitles you to a copy of the personal data we hold about you for the purposes of verifying that we are lawfully processing it.

CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

It is important that the data we hold on you is accurate. If you believe that we have incomplete or inaccurate data about you, you may request to have this corrected by us. We may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide us.

ERASE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where there is no good reason for us to continue process your data, you may ask us to delete or remove your personal data. You may also ask for us to erase your personal data after you have exercised your right to object to processing.

We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons. If this is the case, we will notify you at the time of responding to your request.

OBJECT TO US PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

If we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data in a way that you feel impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms, you may object to us processing your personal data.

Please note that we may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms – for example, where your data is processed for regulatory reasons.

REQUEST RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You can ask us to suspend processing of your personal data in the following circumstances: (a) if you wish for us to establish the accuracy of your data; (b) where the use of the data is unlawful but you do not wish to erase it; (c) if you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it for you to exercise a legal claim; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

REQUEST A PORTABLE VERSION OF YOUR DATA, OR REQUEST TO THE TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

We are able to provide you with a machine-readable format of your data (as a comma separated value document). This right only applies to information which you initially provided us with consent to use or information used to perform a contract with you.

Experiential

Whether it be Festivals, Trade Shows, PR Stunts, Installations or Pop Ups to name a few, we believe brand experiences are one of the most powerful forms of marketing to impact consumer perception and attitude towards a brand. They can create real behaviour change when born out of a deep consumer insight allied to a compelling idea. And it’s these fundamentals we look to get right whatever the live, virtual or hybrid task in hand.

Sampling.

Sampling is all too often perceived as an unsophisticated, somewhat ‘blunt’ marketing tool. Over the last 16 years Sense has pioneered a set of strategic principles which underpin our unique approach to sampling and which are highly measurable from both an ROI and consumer behaviour change perspective. We will happily guide brands through the myriad of sampling channels and products available so whether it’s mass face to face sampling, in offices, digitally, at home or just a strategic framework that you are after, we can provide a blend of tactics to fulfil both brand and sales objectives.

Retail.

With many clients now focused on activating in channels more closely associated with a sale, our heavyweight retail experience closes the loop on a typical shopper journey by encompassing the moment of truth in store. Be it prize promotions, shopper toolkits, key visual creation, path-to-purchase communications, category strategy, B2B campaigns or Amazon optimisation, our goal is to create forward-thinking retail experiences that deliver demonstrable brand value. We aim to make ‘retail fail’ a thing of the past for ambitious brands looking to thrive is an ever-competitive landscape and believe our streamlined team is perfectly placed to do this.

Foresight.

Knowing what will keep a brand bright, exciting, and vital means we need to keep one step ahead of the curve. Our thought leadership hub, The Futures Lab, helps us to understand the marketing trends of tomorrow. It’s also the origin of strategies and methodologies which have created over 65 award-winning campaigns. 

Rigour.

Creativity is nothing without results. And we know that commissioning bold concepts, capable of changing minds, requires reassurance that it’s the right thing to do. 

Data, insights, and research precedes every campaign we do, and our proprietary measurement tool, EMR, gives us a decade of campaign performance metrics. Which is why we’re proud to have been recognised as industry-leading by brands like The Economist, Coca-Cola, and Molson Coors. 

Trust.

We believe brand experience is inherently more varied than other forms of marketing. No formula, no template, no cookie-cutter approach – and often no precedent. 

That’s why, Sense places trust at the heart of its business – grounded in teamwork between our people and yours. Our processes are efficient, our senior team stay involved and our partnership mentality had helped us sustain powerful client relationships, some lasting over 10 years.
