When’s the last time you revamped your website or revisited the goals you set at the beginning of the year?

What can you do t...

What exactly is social proof, and how does it apply to your business? And more importantly, how can you make it work for your business?

You know how you have an inclination to check for reviews before you choose a restaurant to visit or a plumber to call? Or how you scour feedback about Amazon items before placing your order? We, as consumers, want to know about peoples’ experiences with specific businesses, experiences, or produc...

How exactly has it changed marketing?

It’s hard to believe that social media as we know it didn’t really exist 15 years ago. It’s become such a part of our daily lives, it feels like it’s almost been around forever. And for some consumers, like Gen Z, it pretty much has. But, there was a time before social media, and some might ...

Some people say resolutions are made to be broken. And while that may be the case for your idea to go to the gym 12 times a month or promise to spend less time on your phone, it doesn’t have to be the case for your business’s marketing resolutions

Every year on January 1, I make a list of resolutions and goals for myself for the next 12 months. Then, I usually misplace that list and don’t see it again until December 31, when I realise I may or may not have missed out on (or forgotten altogether) some, or all, of those resolutions. Some peop...

Today we launch LOCALiQ - www.localiq.co.uk - a new brand that represents our powerful portfolio of advertising and digital marketing solutions that can help local businesses grow.

Our estimate is that SMEs in the UK now spend over £7 billion on digital marketing. We intend to be a significant player in this space.

The catalyst for us was the acquisition two years ago of Reach Local, a digital marketing specialist, that we have integrated into our business. As well as bringing in new digital expertise, it also brought an incredibly powerful marketing technology that now sits at the heart of LOCALiQ.

And rather than employing traditional advertising salespeople, we now employ local digital marketing consultants who are trained and expert in helping local businesses navigate and get the most out of what can at first appear a complex landscape.

We see our LOCALiQ strategy as entirely complementary to our position as the leading local publisher in the U.K. and a strategy that will help underpin our ability to carry on doing vitally important local journalism for many years to come.

LOCALiQ simplifies local marketing and provides businesses an alternative to digital marketing agencies, a partner powered by insights, data and best practices from the USA TODAY NETWORK.
