Our services
Marketing communications covers a number of disciplines. Your business will need different services at different times. We can help you to determine what you actually need and make it happen. You might need all of our services, only one, or a selection – we want to work with you to ensure that what we deliver is what you need.
Here are some of the services you might need:
Public relations
We help you to distil your commercial offering, formulate key messages and communicate them clearly and consistently through a number of different channels to reach their target audiences. A full campaign may encompass lots of skills and disciplines, but we’re also happy to provide one or two services if that suits you better. Read more here.
Media relations
Media liaison is one of the cornerstones of public relations. We tell your story for you, portraying your expertise and experience to an audience of prospective clients in your own industry and further afield if that’s where you’re aiming. We place news stories, comments, case studies and authoritative articles in your key trade press both in hard copy and online.
Bids, tenders and proposals
With so much new business now being awarded via the bid and tender process, more companies need the services of a skilled bid writer. Not everyone can employ a full time bid writer, but you can outsource the entire process to our bid writing service. We’ll help you decide which contracts to bid for, gather information, write the final submission and evaluate the outcome.
Social media management
So many audiences are now influenced by online news and information. We help you to identify which platforms are most appropriate for you and devise informative and entertaining content to gain you followers and get your voice heard online. This supports your public relations activity and helps to reach new audiences.
Website content
Website content has changed – or it should have changed. As Google algorithms come and go, how you write to improve SEO also evolves. We can help refresh your website and provide active voice, first person content that can help spur a prospective customer into action and help maintain your place in the rankings.
Award entry writing
An award-winning track record is one of the most reassuring signs for a prospective customer, but writing an award winning entry takes time and skill. We specialise in crafting persuasive award submissions; with a high hit rate of shortlistings and outright wins. And if you need to present to the award judges, we can help with that too.
Copywriting
Good copy is essential for all sorts of marketing uses; corporate literature, adverts, brochures, websites, news releases and articles – even presentations. We have a way with words and can come up with compelling copy to get your message to your prospective customer. If you need copywriting services for a short newsletter or an entire annual report we can help.
Literature
Sales literature should present your range of products and/or services in a clear, easily accessible way. Your brochures should convey your total capability with enough detail to make the customer want to buy from you. We write the copy that describes your USPs so they are easy to understand and appreciate, while our trusted design partners can provide some stunning visuals.
Exhibition support
You spend a lot of time and resources going to an exhibition, so you need to be sure it’s worthwhile. We can help devise a stand-out theme, and provide essentials such as the show guide entry, preview news release and on the day press pack. We’ll also draft e-newsletters and use social media to invite existing customers to meet with you and entice new ones to your stand.
Proof reading
People should see your point of view, not your mistakes. Accuracy earns you respect. If you know exactly what you want to say but aren’t so sure of grammar or spelling, or you’ve been handed a curiously worded ‘English’ brochure from an overseas parent company, use our proofreading services. We’ll spot the typos, correct the grammar and put your work into clear, persuasive English.
Crisis management
You might not like to think about the worst happening or needing crisis management services, but if you do, we can help. As soon as you know you have a problem, pick up the phone and we’ll guide you through the whole thing. We’ll help you decide what to tell the press and your customers, do our best to protect your reputation, and advise you on how to do the right thing and achieve the best possible outcome for everyone.
Media training
There are good reasons to face the press with great news, as well as the times when you may have to comment on bad news. How you present yourself in front of a microphone or a camera is crucial. You can make basic mistakes without realising, just by your body language or choice of words. It’s vital to be clear and confident. We can coach you so you are prepared and confident to speak for your organisation.
Speech writing
Need to face an audience? We hope you will, especially once our skills have raised your profile. Fortunately we can help you with the content as well as coaching you through the delivery. Whether your speech is aimed at industry colleagues or a wedding party, we can help you feel more relaxed and accustomed to public speaking.
Script writing
The best social media content is visual and interactive. The use of video content is growing and is proving very popular. Even if your product or service isn’t very visual, we can help create a script and a story board that can convey a simple, effective message about what you have to offer.
You might also need design services, SEO services, exhibition stand design, website construction, business strategy – we have some excellent partners we can recommend to help you.
