Key Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical engagement with Candidate look like?
Candidate works with brands on integrated projects spanning strategy, social content, and video production. Engagement sizes vary, but their team of 11–50 means they can scale from focused social campaigns to full brand overhauls. It's worth asking them directly about project timelines and how they structure retainers versus project work.
Does being Belfast-based affect how Candidate works with UK-wide clients?
No. Candidate operates across both Belfast and London, and has worked with major UK brands regardless of location. Modern collaboration tools make geography less of a barrier, so you can expect the same level of service whether you're down south or in Northern Ireland.
When is video production worth investing in alongside social media and content work?
Video typically works best when it's part of a broader content and social strategy, not an afterthought. Candidate bundles video production with their social and content services, so they can advise on where video adds real value to your campaigns rather than simply adding cost.
How do Candidate approach brand strategy versus just creating content?
They position branding as foundational—it informs the voice, visuals, and strategy that guide all your content and social work. Rather than treating it as a one-off project, they integrate brand thinking into ongoing execution, which usually leads to more coherent campaigns.
