It's May the 4th and it's annual appraisal day over at the Dark Side.

Fingers crossed for this determined employee who is about to demand a pay rise from his boss.

SEO DOES WORK.

Technical SEO 🚀
On-Page SEO 💙
Content SEO ❤️
Off-Page SEO 📈
Local SEO 🙏
Mobile SEO 📱
eCommerce SEO ⚡️

(You get the drift).

And after 12 months, that client we were telling you about started to see some REAL results. Results that saw the amount of organic traffic to their site increase from zero to just under 4,000 a month. Eyeballs that are looking for exactly what our client is selling.

And we will tell you how it was affecting the bottom line in another post. But for now, we will at least say that it was GOOD NEWS 💰

SEO is difficult. It requires expertise and time. Lots of it. That's why it can seem an expensive activity - especially when results aren't instantaneous. But when it does work, trust us, it's beautiful. And you can trust us 'cos we rank on Page One of Google for the terms that we want to. Simple as that really, right?

You know where we are.

This client was turning heads. And it was the heads of potential customers 🤟
We'd sorted the brand and started rolling out an SEO and paid social strategy. And it had started to work.

Work in the sense that the client was getting SO many more relevant eyeballs. Traction that we'd now need to convert into sales 💰

And we will let you know how the first few months looked like later - we have a feeling that it'll be pretty decent given that we are telling you lovely lot 📈

Have a good one and you know where we are if needed.

This client of ours. The one selling the packaging online. You remember it, right?

We'd just started smashing into (technical term for "working on") rolling out a strategic SEO campaign so now it was time to prepare for the paid social media ads.

And therefore it was time to start building out assets. Assets that would really help with the "basic" sales funnel when it came to lead generation, lead nurture, and sales.

So, that's EXACTLY what we did.

Our audiences had been researched, those lovely ad-sets build out, and we were ready to go. And guess what?

Yes, you got it, we will let you know how we got on. Promise.

In the meantime, if you need us to help make your brand famous online, please do reach out. We got it going on (another technical term for "we know what we're doing").

Props (apparently this is the cool way to say well done) to our lovely Josh and Rob for sharing their expertise on two key topics - SEO and the Customer Journey - at the WM5G eCommerce Masterclass, yesterday 👏

Paying it forward, and giving hugely valuable insights, top tips, and actions that the attendees could implement into their businesses straight away 👊🏻

Great work boyos - we're proud of you 💙

17/11/2022

So, remember when we told you about that client that we did wonderful things for...

Well, there's another one 👀

And we are going to talk about how they came to us to help them become more famous. Famous as in sell more boxes. Yes, you heard it, boxes. Perhaps not the easiest thing to do when you're up against some massive brands that sell the same things.

It had to start with the brand. And we HAD to give it a refresh. After all, it often all comes back to brand - how consistent it is, where it sits, and how it's amplified. It would allow the client to start building better relationships with their customers, increasing levels of loyalty and (GENUINELY) increasing their bottom line 💰

So, there we go, we are going to take you on a little journey over the next few weeks to show you what we did - and what that meant to our client when it came to delivering some real return on their investment.

What we saying? Do you reckon we helped them sell more boxes? 🤟

We shall be called TreatBox 🍭

Josh used to own a Vegan Sweet Shop - and yesterday bought in loads of goodies for us all to enjoy. Thanks, mate.

As you were 😂

04/11/2022

The client's business then: little-to-no visibility on Google 😔

The client's business now: ranking on page one of Google for 68 relevant search terms 🤗

ROI-led SEO is what we do. And the proof is in the pudding.

LUNCH AND LEARN 🤟

Our MD had been to Barcelona on business so it was only fair she told us all about it - and us eat pizza and meal-deals.

And this time it was all about CBD. And:

How she became interested in CBD 🌱
Why she takes CBD every day 💪
Why she set up her own CBD eCom 📈
Her predictions for the future of Cannabis 🔮
How propaganda marketing villainised cannabis 📰
Nixon/Regan war on drugs 🇺🇸
Some seriously weird ad campaigns ⛔️
How marketing can play a role to turn the tide back 😇
The rules and regulations to know for marketing CBD 🔖
How she ended up at the World CBD awards in Barcelona last week 🇪🇸
How we will start helping CBD and lifestyles brands smash their marketing ⚡️

Then we ate some vegan, gluten-free 10mg CBD jellies. No nom.

26/10/2022

Remember that bar we were designing? 🤟🍻

Well, here it is.

No messing. Understood the brief. Helped develop the brief. Nailed the brief. Enjoyed a few beers to celebrate.

Please do come at us (cool way of saying email or call) if you need any design work, creative campaigns, ideas and strategies that will help make your brand famous ⚡️

26/10/2022

Driving sales for Cannabidiol (CBD) products via digital marketing has its challenges. But it:

Can
Be
Done.

See what we did there? ⚡️

So we knocked together a brand, a proposition, and went to sunny Barcelona for the World CBD awards to speak to all the big players in the game.

Good times ⚡️

If your lifestyle brand is facing challenges when it comes to marketing, do let us know - we just might be able to help.

25/10/2022

We were asked to design a bar.

A bar that was needed for one of our fave festivals, The Big Feastival 🎉

So we got started - and something beautiful happened.

And it had the lot: free-hand sketches, animation, motion - using principles of video and film production such as visual effects to create an illusion of movement and bring images and designs to life 🤟

We couldn't wait to see what we put on paper come to life. Check it out - oh, and do you think there's a Stranger Things' vibe going on?

24/10/2022

Remember that client?

The client that we helped raise £600,000 in 31 days 🚀

Well - guess what - they sent us another brief.

And it was a goooood one. We'll tell you more about it over the next few days 🎧

20/10/2022

WE WERE ASKED BY A CLIENT TO HELP THEM RAISE £500,000.

IN JUST 31 DAYS 👀👀

And did we do it? OF COURSE WE BLOOMING DID 🚀🚀 We actually helped raise £100k over their target.

(And then we got another big brief from them - so tune in soon to learn more).

19/10/2022
