1. I was struggling to find a job in Marketing because I didn’t pass the minimum requirements for qualifications (Bachelors degree) or experience (2-3years in industry).

2. I knew I had everything to help other business owners who were struggling with their Marketing, but certainly had no qualifications or interest to get some.

3. By working with clients struggling with their digital Marketing, in time I could get enough money to go and pursue those further qualifications that I wanted to do back in 2024.

I’ve realised I don’t think enough of my audience know my story, so I thought I’d clear that up whilst motivating or inspiring others.

Attending my first BNX Expo event today got me thinking about a few things when it comes to the top of the Marketing sales funnel all businesses need to know - awareness and interest ⬇️

↪️ First Speed Networking - for those unfamiliar with this, 1min to talk about yourself to the person opposite you, and then when the whistle blows, you swap over. What I took away from this: amongst the noise of everyone else, you had a very short timeframe to really make an impact to the person sat opposite you.

When someone new discovers your business online, you haven't got a minute, you've got 3-10 seconds to make an impact depending on what they're looking at. To make them stick around afterwards, you've got to really capture their attention and interest immediately.

↪️ Branding - we all know this includes your logo, tone of voice, the colours associated with your brand; but it also includes how your brand makes your target audience feel and what they think of whenever someone mentions your name in a room when you're not there.

Whenever I attend events, I always make sure I am wearing something distinctive to make myself more memorable in people's minds afterwards. Often I am wearing blue which symbolises trust and is in line with my blue and white brand colour. Jack and Paulina clearly got the memo for that this morning! 🤣 But you can also often find me wearing red - partly because it's my favourite colour, but also because it symbolises passion and energy. With the two combined, this is exactly what working with me is like and I'm confident my clients will say the same.

I bring the passion and enthusiam to increase your business's brand awareness online. But I also want you to trust me, because I know I can't do my job for you without this.

So the thoughts I want to leave you with today:
💙 Are you saying the right things across your social media to properly capture your target audience's interest immediately?
💙 If your ideal customer moves from your Instagram, to your website, your newsletter and then over to your TikTok; they should be met with the same brand consistency - if your business appears to be totally different from one to the next, that is when potential customers fall off because the results aren't what they were expecting to find.
💙 When potential customers and supporters think of you and your business, what do you want them to think of first? Is their initial thought an accurate reflection of what it is you do?

Hope this is helpful for anyone who may be struggling with their Branding, or figuring out what they want their business to really be online.

What you can expect:
💙A place where I’m bringing my community together to share Marketing tips and tricks for businesses struggling with their Digital Marketing.

💙 Somewhere to share a little bit more Marketing/business knowledge that I’ve come to learn, something which I believe other business owners don’t always know.

💙 Be a bit more open and honest with you beyond what I share online, because this business life is hard, and when there’s such an uphill climb, I find it helps me to just talk about it. There will always be someone who relates which is also comforting to know.

If you aren’t signed up to my free newsletter, I really think you should! Edition no.2 will be covering how I got my first 4,000 Instagram view reel and what I learnt from it.

Oh, and ps: the cover photo of this reel is a print out of some really wonderful, positive feedback I received from a business owner I know from my Farmers Market days 🥹🥰

If there was the opportunity to have free Digital Marketing tips, tricks and guides sent to your inbox on a regular basis to help you make the most out of Marketing platforms; would you take it?

I ask because this is exactly what I believe many businesses struggling to make themselves heard above the noise, need right now. Some business owners cannot afford to buy a book online, or they don't have the time to read it. Maybe that's you if you're juggling 101 plates right now.

But I bet you can spare 5 minutes reading a newsletter inspiring you to tackle your Marketing, and how best to go about it if it's something new or you've been putting it off for a while.

And how I know my techniques work? Because I use them all the time for clients, which has:
➡️Generated thousands being reached online
➡️Opportunities sent their way because more people know about them
➡️Increases in sales

So many small businesses don't have a website and as someone who specialises in helping businesses to increase their brand awareness online and reach more of their target audience, it is painful to see this, knowing they could be missing out on so many potential customers.

In my year of business so far, I have helped quite a few clients with a complete website redesign, or adding in a new page to their offering to provide clarity on who they are, what they do, and why their audience should care about them. Having a website is essential, especially with software like ChatGPT and other AI software crawling websites for results their users are looking for.

In my 'Other Marketing Assistance' service I offer website redesign and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) to help your business increase it's reach online. But to encourage trust, loyalty and returning customers, I also offer blogs and newsletters. A website is great for showcasing your business and provide reviews and projects you've worked on. But there isn't any community feel to this experience. You don't get to know your audience that is coming to your website page.

Whereas with blogs, you can track if people are actually reading your content you have spent hours writing. And if they liked it, you can find out from the comments section, or if you invite them to leave a review.

Newsletters carry so much weight becasue you are literally talking to a bunch of people that have specifically shown an interest in your business. They want to hear about your new products coming out before everyone else knows, and they want to hear the insider gossip about your business journey that you don't share online.

So if you are feeling like your business is struggling to reach new customers, encourage referrals from your existing audience or even not having the time or the opportunity to share more of your story you really want your audience to know...maybe we should have a chat by booking in a call with me on my website. You can also see the other examples of my website work under 'Client Projects' if you're interested to see the difference I've made to other businesses.

…and another example of my work has just come through!

Loved taking these shots when I was at The Forum, Norwich during Native2Norfolk Farmers Market earlier this year! fans

Last year, it became apparent that all of my hundreds of photography and content creation work I had been building over many months, well I wasn’t allowed to use it to advertise my business. I just didn’t have permission to.

So instead, I said to myself “Ok fine then, if I have to start from the ground up to prove to myself (and anyone secretly doubting me) that I am a Photographer and can do Content Creation for brands as some of my Marketing services available, well then so be it.”

So through many markets across Norfolk, in freezing temperatures, the wind, the rain and sunshine; I took my phone and my camera and set out to rebuild my portfolio.

I’ve seen businesses I’ve sent my imagery to downloading the images, but also using them in their digital Marketing. And this means more than I can express, because I’ve wanted to provide this opportunity for other businesses for so long.

I know the pain all too well of trying to Marketing and just having terrible imagery…there’s no clarity on who you are, what you do, why your audience should care about your business over a competitor. And as a result, it is the same small number of people engaging with your online content, you’re not reaching anyone new and it’s all just so difficult trying to tell the right people who will buy from you why you are AMAZING!

So if you relate to any of this, maybe your business could benefit from getting some high quality imagery, so you can shout about your business online with confidence, knowing the right people will find you. fans

Looking for Photography of your business, which captures your brand's purpose, provides clarity to your target audience of what you're all about and authenticity? Maybe my Photography can help you!

People I meet often ask me if I work with a particular industry, and my response is always the same: “No, I just work with those who don’t understand how to promote themselves online to their target audience.”

So that end, you can see examples of my work from clients above. Some of these businesses and organisations were struggling to have professional imagery, so by organising a photoshoot with me, or by having my presence at their events, they were able to plug that gap to communicate what they’re all about to their customers.

What I offer to businesses interested in a Photography shoot ⬇️
📸Brand Photography
📸Food and Drink Photography
📸Portraiture Photography
📸Product Photography

With all of these, we will plan the shoot properly to make sure you get the most out of it, and that the final images give you the confidence to shout about your brand.

I have some exciting news: after attending talks from various lovely people on newsletters, I’ve finally got around to making my own!

The first one is done and ready to send, but I’m just finalising the appearance of the ‘Join The Club’ signup box on my website.

I’m looking forward to being a bit more of a Marketing nerd than I am already 🤓 and sharing insights, which will increase your brand awareness online, and get you in front of your target audience.

❗️In the meantime, if you want easy to apply Marketing tips for your business in your inbox, send me a message with your email and I will add you.

So looking forward to this next chapter, I think it’s going to be something you will really enjoy reading.

Also should I have a name for the newsletter community? I feel like I should, what do you think? 🤔(Ps, I’ve come to love writing long form content, so I’m really excited!!)

What is my Content Creation service to businesses, and why it fits perfectly with the Social Media Management I offer too?

Creating high-quality videos of your business to drive a more authentic approach to your products/services, designed for the company social media platforms.

I have invested in equipment this year to make it available to people like you struggling to take videos and photos of your business.

By hiring me to take content of your business, you are...
✅Making the right step for better interaction online with your business
✅Providing clarity of who you are and what you do to potential customers
✅Showing a more authentic, honest version of your business, which will create trust and build loyalty with viewers when done consistently

All of my services are bespoke packages to fit perfectly around your requirements. The price depends on the number of photos and videos taken, because you may only need a few pieces to kickstart your business online in the right direction, and you can take it from there. Alternatively, you may need a lot of pieces because you have never done videos to share online, so you may have no idea where to start.

Every business has different requirements, which is why I tailor my services to you.
