Founded in defence

50DEGREES was founded by Jack Abbiss after eight years as a Royal Navy Marine Engineer Officer, so the defence world is familiar ground, not something to learn on your budget.

Questions

Common questions

Primes, SMEs and dual-use technology suppliers across the UK defence supply chain.

Yes. Marketing won’t replace a strong bid, but it makes sure the primes and buyers assessing it already know your name, understand your capability and can find the evidence they need on your website, in your capability documents and in search.

No. You can start with one piece of work, such as a film or a new website, or bring us the whole plan. Either way you keep one point of contact, and each piece is made to fit with the rest.

Yes. 3D animation lets you show a concept, system or capability without disclosing anything sensitive. We plan every shoot and animation around what can legitimately be shown.

Yes. We build websites, run search engine optimisation and email, and report on enquiries for aerospace and defence businesses, from primes to SME suppliers.

With a free discovery call. We talk through what you’re working towards, what’s getting in the way and what a sensible first step would be, then follow up with a clear proposal.
