Marketing life does go on
When I returned from maternity leave after 9 months, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect in the world of marketing, social media and digital marketing.
Apart from coming back to work and remembering how to write an email (to name but a few basic functions), I was apprehensive about the pace and would change be so great that it’s completely new and different. Would there be more social media platforms, would email marketing end, and would automation define everything?

Don't rest on your laurels at digital marketing
Firms who invest in effective digital marketing such as social media, pay per click (PPC) and search engine optimisation (SEO) can often see great results within a relatively short space of time.

Repurposing content – the how and why
Blogs and articles take time to research and craft, so why not maximise that effort by ‘repurposing’ them? Repurposing doesn’t only apply to blogs or news articles, though. Tweets or Facebook posts might feel more throwaway, but they don’t have to be. And what do you do with client feedback, testimonials or slide decks and notes you may have spent hours putting together for a presentation?

More to Social Media than Marketing
It is easy to underestimate the vital role social media plays in the recruitment process, particularly in professional services. During our own recent experience of hiring a new member of the team, we were surprised by how many candidates, when asked why they applied for the role, responded by saying that they liked what our company was doing on social media.

The proof is in the pudding – why client reviews and feedback are great for your business
Client reviews can be a powerful influence and help towards the success of a business through its reputation, profile and brand. Reviews are particularly useful within the professional services sector. With a lot of firms offering and selling the same or similar service, it can be a very competitive market and difficult to differentiate. Client reviews provide credibility, proof that what you are saying is true and promote the added value that you offer – reducing the risk that the potential client is taking in using you.
