Case study : StrategiQ Marketing
Supporting growth for a fast-moving marketing agency
StrategiQ Marketing is a full-service marketing agency based in the East of England, delivering strategic marketing, branding, digital, and creative services to a growing portfolio of clients. As the business expanded, managing recurring client payments efficiently became increasingly important. To support its growth and streamline payment collection, StrategiQ partnered with London & Zurich to implement a secure and automated Direct Debit solution.
The challenge
Reducing the administrative burden of late payments
Before implementing London & Zurich’s Direct Debit Bureau service, StrategiQ regularly faced challenges with missed and late client payments. Chasing outstanding invoices consumed valuable management time and created unnecessary pressure on cash flow management. The agency needed a payment solution that would simplify collections, reduce the need for debt recovery activities, and provide branded payment communications to ensure a seamless experience for clients. Most importantly, the business wanted a reliable system that would allow its leadership team to focus on growth rather than payment administration.
StrategiQ “The change in our business has been notable since the introduction of London & Zurich’s Direct Debit, allowing us a far greater handle on cash flow, and reducing our reliance on paper”
The solution
Implementing a streamlined Direct Debit platform
After taking the time to understand StrategiQ’s requirements, London & Zurich recommended a Direct Debit Bureau solution tailored to the agency’s needs. The implementation process was quick and straightforward, supported by comprehensive onboarding and training from the in-house support team. Within hours, StrategiQ was fully operational and able to begin collecting payments through the platform.
The online Direct Debit system provided greater visibility and control over payment collections while removing the complexity often associated with traditional bureau services. With ongoing support available whenever needed, StrategiQ was able to transition smoothly and confidently to a more efficient way of managing recurring payments.
The outcome
Improved cash flow, greater efficiency and scalable growth
Since implementing London & Zurich’s Direct Debit solution, StrategiQ has streamlined its payment processes and reduced the time spent chasing invoices, allowing management to focus on business growth. Automated collections have improved cash flow predictability, providing greater financial control and peace of mind.
Clients now benefit from a more convenient payment experience, while StrategiQ has a scalable payment solution that supports its continued growth. As the business expands, London & Zurich continues to provide the reliability and support needed to meet increasing demand.
StrategiQ “London & Zurich has had a huge impact how I can now manage cash flow within the business and has meant I have had to spend less time chasing invoices. Our clients have also found it a more convenient and hassle-free way of paying”
