The Voice Experience Specialists

Rabbit & Pork are the Voice Experience arm of TIPi Group. We build brand strategies where voice sits at the heart of the users’ journey.

Our focus on Voice Experience reflects the huge shift in how users are interacting with digital content, requesting information and discovering products.

We enable brands to be part of the conversation.

Our capabilities expand beyond the development of Alexa Skills and Google Actions. We take a wider perspective on your business and the vertical it sits in to understand the various touch points along a user journey. That research piece helps you to understand the roles that website optimisation, local listing optimisation, optimisation of content on third party sites and voice apps play.

Our industry leading voice search ranking reports allows us to conduct this research with a data led approach which can be conducted ongoing to track vertical changes.

Why we have the name of ‘Rabbit & Pork’. Where we started and history of the brand.

“Heard of the phrase ‘rabbiting on’? Inspired by the old Cockney rhyming slang for ‘talk’ – ‘Rabbit & Pork’ – and in combination with our habit of animal-related agency names here at TIPi Group, alongside ROAST and Kitty, we thought this was an apt name for the voice experience arm of the business.

Founded in 2019, our team of voice experts come from a performance media background within the group, so everything we create is done with a focus on delivering tangible results and driving business growth.

We build brand strategies where voice sits at the heart of the users’ journey. Our focus on Voice Experience expertise reflects the huge shift in how users are interacting with digital content, requesting information and product discovery.”
