Three-quarters of customers rely on social media to influence their buying decisions. Eight in ten people are also influenced by their friends’ posts – and what are half the population doing every day for half an hour? Checking Facebook. That’s an awful lot of traffic and potential customers. So think again if you’re not a Facebook devotee. Over 90% of social media users say they follow businesses on Twitter to get discounts and promotions. More than half of these users follow companies or brands on social networks, so it makes sense to tweet.

Over 80% of smartphone users search the Internet, around one in three search for branded websites. Nine out of ten mobile searches lead to action and more than half lead to sales. What’s the most profitable marketing tool for businesses today? The E-newsletter. Email marketing, proves time and time again to be one of the most effective avenues in digital marketing. So depending on your business needs, sending out a regular one can reap untold benefits.

With 97% of all consumers searching for local businesses online, what does your website say about you? Google reads words – not images, so every word counts. With consumers reading more content than ever, before making a buying decision, compelling SEO driven copy increases traffic to your website. Updating content regularly in a news section or blog also means Google visits your site more often. Businesses with an active blog generate 67% more leads per month. So get blogging.

Our strategic approach starts with gaining a deep-rooted understanding of your business, and what drives your customers. By building on these invaluable insights, we can deliver creative communications that get the right results. We also like a bit of stealth. So knowing what your competitors are up to helps create meaningful content that sets you apart.

Creating compelling and meaningful content gets your business noticed. We finely tune those words to tell your story and convey the right message. Then we create the most valuable content to enhance your brand. Because creative content engages your customers and that keeps the search engines interested.

Good design only goes so far. A brand that looks good but doesn’t communicate properly is only half way there. Design and visual identity alone doesn’t convince, persuade, sell or inform – it’s words that do that. The right words convince customers to buy into your business. A brand’s tone of voice, if you get it right, connects your business with people.

Tell us what you think you need and we help you to look at the bigger picture. We devise an initial strategy that works around you and any other creative or technical teams involved with your content. We set out a clear vision of what your business needs to reach your audience.

Because we do things differently, we tease out the information, constantly looking at the heart of the story, scrutinising the nuances to deliver original content. It’s essential to gain an in-depth understanding about your business, your ambitions. We’ll get to know exactly what makes you tick – and your customers. With this level of insight, we can start communicating effectively with your audience.

With tone of voice honed, armed with all the information, the writing and crafting process begins. We draft a copy of content and you give us your feedback, so we can make any further tweaks and final edits.
