About
What we’ve learned after two decades of growth
Founded by John and Lisa Plato in 2007, Plato started with big ambitions and a simple gameplan: “Be good to people; be easy to work with; and always play the long game.”
What began as a self-funded business from home has grown into a 60-strong team across strategy, brand, creative, marketing, and web and tech. Our focus has stayed simple: great client service, commercial outcomes, and long-term partnerships. It’s helped us build an award-winning agency and deliver growth for ambitious businesses across almost every sector.
While Plato has evolved, our founding ethos hasn’t. We’re still here to help our clients grow their brands, leads and sales.
Take a look at some of the results we’ve helped clients achieve.

Our time-tested approach focuses on partnerships and measuring what matters
Whether clients are looking to tackle a specific project or need help growing their business, we know there are two things they look for - outcomes and a seamless experience. Over the last 19 years we have honed our approach to deliver both in spades.
True growth can be measured through three key performance measures; brand growth, marketing growth and, most importantly, commercial growth. No matter who we work with, we establish clear success metrics aligned to their project or business ambition and work alongside them to build a roadmap to achieve it.
