3. Introduction
For us, it does not matter how big your business is – whether you are a single
person operation, a sole trader, or larger. It does not matter whether you are lo-
cal to us or many miles away, one office, shop or premise or more. We are here
to help you put your business forward in this digital world.
Life today is full of smartphones, computers – desktops, laptops, tablets and all
the rest. Unless you are involved in that endless stream of messaging, images,
video, text you will not be seen. It is true that there are a lot of other businesses
out there talking about precisely this. We, however, are somewhat different in
that with us you can have the full on agency style experience or we are quite
happy being rather more corner shop in approach. We have the wit and capac-
ity to make the whole experience far more friendly, an easy route in to all of
these questions – and we are as cheap as that corner shop. Although we are not
quite ‘open all hours’ it can seem like it. Also we don’t have a till like Arkwright
’s.
Content creation
We give our time, experience, creativity, imagination and resources to building
your presence online. We can help in so many ways making life that much easier
for you, allowing you the time you need to spend on your actual business. We
can help with text, images and more. More than that, if you let us we can build
entire campaigns for you. We can create an ongoing stream of content for the
people you currently serve and those you would like to serve. All of this helps to
build business.
4. Copywriting
Taglines, strap-lines, end-lines
Every business can use those cute and creative phrases, short slogans or messages
that catch the eye and the imagination. They are part of the building blocks of any
presence online. Often they are coupled with a particular image extending the whole
message, enriching your branding and marketing as a whole.
Blog articles
We can promote you via our own blogs or your own (creating them if needed). If you
define what it is you want, provide the background information and give us an idea
of the style you want adopting then we can proceed. Short or long – each is possible.
We can add links to your own channels, your other content, website and all the rest.
Social media messages
It can be a really tiresome task – generating a series of messages for social media,
fitting them to the needs and styles of each. There is a big difference between all of
them, what is allowed in word numbers, the styles that go down well, hashtag usage
and all the rest.
Writing for print or digital publishing
We can do that painstaking work of developing articles or general business text for
almost any purpose. It may be for blog articles, your website, whether it is up and
running or in preparation, or for any form of digital publishing, which we can also do
for you. If you give us the background information and then define how you want
the approach to be then we can begin work. Revisions are possible within reason, of
course.
5. Design
Logo design
Every business needs a logo. It is better if it is eye-catching and relates directly in
some way to your business and the part of the market in which it resides. We can
help with a new set of ideas. We have a range of fonts we can use. We can also
design a particular palette for such to relate to your market segment. Talk to us we
listen. We can also create a series of secondary logos, these can also have uses in
wider marketing campaigns so that people see a variety of linked images relating to
your business.
Illustrations for articles, social media, websites, blogs
Having suitable illustrations – graphics, photographically based or vector based are
so very useful for your content and marketing. It helps you be seen. It is a bonus
with search engine algorithms as well as in the eyes of those beholders you are
trying to influence. They help to catch the eye and raw people to the message as a
whole. We have a wide collection of resources to hand, photographs, vectors, and
so we are able to add what you need, something suitable for your business and its
needs, its message. Illustration aids in the development of your brand and its story,
all of what you are putting before your client and customer base.
Social media headers, banners
Social media channels like it when there are suitably sized and formatted headers
or banners at the top of the page. We can design them for you to give that instant
appeal to anyone coming to your page or account. We can make it fit you, your
business, your brand and the channel you are on.
6. Video creation
Video is used more and more these days by businesses of all sizes. Since
Google included it in its algorithms some time ago it has increased in importance
for page rankings as well as being used on social media channels. Text spells out
your message, graphics and photos illustrate it, adding depth to what you are
saying, video goes beyond all of these giving added emotional depth, explanatory
power and aesthetic appeal.
Banners and headers, Intros, Promos
For your website, most social media channels and even email, short videos have
their uses. Basic videos built around a general background, animated logos,
simple text or audio statements alongside music can have impact. Video does not
always have to be complicated or highly involved. Sometimes simple messages
and moving image can do the trick.
Explainers – to camera
There is a use for videos where someone speaks directly to camera, making more
involved statements, explanations, making a more involved pitch. We can film,
edit and make footage into something useful for you.
Video flyers
For the entertainment world you can go beyond the usual print flyer and poster
and have us create a video flyer for your event. This can be uploaded to your
website, social media channels and video based channels.
7. Social media marketing
Being seen, read and heard is all part of the marketing process. If your mes-
sages are not visible online, whether it is on social media or elsewhere you
have no presence and you will not be in people’s minds.
We can help with a variety of social media channels, for example:
facebook, twitter, pinterest, instagram, tumblr, google+, linkedin and we can
look at others for you as well, just let us know.
Message creation
We help with message creation – this can include:
- links to your website or other pieces of your content online, mentions of you
via other channels etc. statements about you, your products, your services
- offers, if you have something to say about special deals, pricingteasers,
wetting the appetites of potential clients or customers with something coming
soon
- taglines, strap-lines, slogans, something interesting, witty, enticing
- contact details, basic business information
All of this can be arranged into a campaign of varying lengths and intensities
and tailored to suit the needs of your business, the season and what is hap-
pening in the world generally – the social and economic terrain.
Add illustrations
Any post can be made more interesting, more eye-catching with an illustration
– whether it is photo based or not. If it offers an extension of the message or a
contrast it is so much better. If it is within a palette range used by your
business better still. If there is text added the font, the typography and ar-
rangement is important. With all of this we help.
8. Add video
Video is a must for many businesses these days. Google has made it of
prime importance in terms of rankings. Similarly with social media. A mov-
ing image tells a million words. We can add basic promos, video banners or
headers, as it were, short explainers, short video statements. They all help.
Scheduling
We can organize your posts by creating scheduling apps and programmes
designed for you such as Buffer, Stacker, Socialmedia Pilot, Minutemailer
and more. We would design a schedule based around your needs, your time
zone and your business needs.
creating schedulers
From the basis of your channels we can set up one or more schedulers so
that your messaging is made easier. With many there are essentially free op-
tions. To have a greater flexibility it may be a case of setting up paid options.
All of this can be done for us to use on your behalf and for you to use later
or along the way.
Creating channels
If you don’t have social media channels at present, we can build them for
you. We can get them up and running and set about the ongoing task of
acquiring followers for you. The channels we work with to a greater extent
are twitter, facebook, Instagram, tumblr, linkedin, vk, pinterest. We can
investigate any possible channel for you though. With each we can add the
suitable design pieces – headers, banners, profiles and the like.-
9. In all, from the information you give us we can create a social media marketing plan to
fit your budget and your business needs. We would ask for:
- sign-ins to your existing accounts or permissions to create them for you;
- keywords you associate with your business, your hopes, needs and the market seg-
ment your business is within
- any relevant links to be promoted
- basic background on your business overall so that we can build a full appreciation of
where you are and what you want to do, what you need to do.

10. Digital marketing
We can look at any and all possible channels and means of marketing you
and your business online. We can help via not only social media channels,
as we have already mentioned, but also via our own online channels, sites,
blogs etc. We can look at the best ways you can present yourself on your
own website, your own blog and search beyond all such for any other rele-
vant avenues of promotion. From there we can create the content needed
to help you take those ‘forward steps’.
Digital publishing
In the past when print was king businesses used all sorts of giveaways for
business purposes. They would not only make available business cards but
also brochures, catalogues, basic business outlines. There are digital ver-
sions of all of these. People can take them away with them in just the same
way and make use of them when needed or reminded – it is just a case of
downloading them and keeping them stored.
E-book creation
Whether it is an e-book or an e-zine we can help create them for you. We
can write the text from your background information. We can illustrate
them from your suggestions. We can provide covers and all other relevant
information. Then we can export such and provide them in various formats
- .pdf, .epub, .doc and many more.
Catalogues, brochures
We can create the document you need. Whether it is a simple and basic
brochure style publication, something to add to an email, or something
more extensive and detailed. We can use our own suitable royalty free
images, design vector based illustrations, anything supplied by you or take
specific photos that you need – your products, your team, location etc.
11. Channel creation
Once your e-book or e-zine is created we can upload it to our own digital publish-
ing channels. We can also set up for you channels designed for the dissemination
of those files such as scribd, slideshare etc.
We can also set up online e-zines taking from your online content stream and
publishing them as a full document at various intervals.
Print design
There is still a place for print in this world. We all hand out business cards to pos-
sible clients or customers. It is still the case that leaflets come through the door
which are sometimes not ignored or simply thrown away. There are still offices,
shops etc. that have racks of brochures made available to customers and we do
still pick them up when we feel the urge or the need.
Business cards
We have a range of templates we can use for you or we can design something
special to suit your tastes and needs.
Brochures
Again we have a range of templates we can use for you. These come in bi-fold,
tri-fold and other styles. If you want something different, unique or particular we
can create something for you from your directions and information.
Catalogues
We can design and write for you business catalogues, be they full product and
service books, introductions to the business as a whole, indeed any form of expo-
sition you need for you and your brand. This can be designed particularly for you
or from templates already existing.Also if you are based in the UK we have a deal
with a local print supplier and get the print produced for you at great prices.
12. Branding
Your branding comprises all of the things you say about your business. This
means all of the words you use but also all of the images whether they
are photographic or vector based. It also includes any video and audio you
use along the way. We hope to help in building good solid and meaningful
threads to what is, in essence, the story of your brand, your business.
13. Pricing
If you would like to know more and would be interested in prices let us know.
Give a bit of background and we will send you the relevant information.
Some of what we do comes as cheap as $5 or £3.60, it all depends what you
want and we can fit things to suit.
There is the option of having full on campaigns created, adding background re-
search, linking up with content, articles, illustrations, videos and more from other
sources where it is relevant to you and your business and its campaign. This does
take time so there is an added cost as with extensive use of our own channels for
promotional purposes.
