Business Start-up SEO
Worktripp is an innovative start-up, focussed on helping companies bring together remote or distributed teams in offsite events. Although they had already established their brand and had gained good traction in media through PR and social media activities, they wanted to build relevant traffic and attract enquiries.
By analysing search query data and using keyword research tools, I identified which were the highest value keywords that would bring relevant traffic and equiries. We then reorganised the website, creating new page title and descriptions to attract relevant users, and added keywords and links within page copy to improve relevance.
In addition to ongoing Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads were conceived and targeted to attract company Operations Directors and CEOs who were struggling with team motivation and cohesion.

Brand messages and imagery
Worktripp had already defined their brand identity and had a business plan, but had not managed to gain traction in terms of enquiries or bookings. Advertising and search marketing were required to reach potential customers, but first a clear idea of key messages and imagery was required.
Working with the founders, we identified key brand attributes and message focus, plus a style of imagery. From this we developed LinkedIn display Ads and additional on-site content for search.
Having a 3rd party help you talk through your objectives and strategy always helps to hone the brand message and behaviours. I have worked with many start-ups, as well as many larger brands, and been part of the leadership team in a number of businesses, so can draw on this experience.
Marketing services website
CustomServe wanted to promote their wider business to emphasise the value of their expertise rather than just provide an international feedback service to professional organisations.
Rebranding the company as Acuigen, a word based on acuity, meaning keenness of sight allowed them to promote additional services across multiple markets. It repositioned the company as being linked to the generation of business value, not research.

The site would show off the luxury treehouse features and allow users to check availability and book online.

Bedü communications
Property developer Bedü (named after a nomadic people, whose self-reliance and territorial approach to land ownership reflected the company values) delivered innovative low-cost accomodation and wanted to give users of their hostels a ‘sense of being’, where the occupier enjoys enhanced autonomy and a sense of dignity.
The problem was that planners, influenced by local residents, were slow to approve plans for new properties or expansion of existing sites.
I worked with the Development Director and CEO to explore how attitudes could be changed and planning advanced using communications in the broadest sense.
Features: A media ‘eco-system’ of integrated media, all based around key messages.
