LDOT

We weren't sure about the idea to start with, but...

Our first ever Break & Brainstorm is officially: SOLD OUT.

This thing of beauty will be going home with one lucky winner this evening and will sit, pride of place in a special spot at home.

Special thanks to Nimbus Hosting, the LDOT team and all the entrants for committing.

Can't wait to see you later at the studio! 🎱

The perfect networking event doesn't exi...

"Organic traffic is dead." - B*llocks. 🤥

A question we hear all the time; "Guys, how do I get to the top of Google?"

SEO or "Search Engine Optimisation" is the practise of improving your sites "ranking".

It makes search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Duck, Duck, Go "prefer" your site and show it high up in the results when someone searches for something.

Basically, if someone searches for your service or product in your area, you want your site to be top (or at least on the front page) or you just aren't going to be seen. 👀

We started working on this site in July last year - the goal is to get as much traffic to the site as possible and sell advertising space to open up another revenue stream for the client - check this out;

Tuesday July 14th 2020
2 clicks 🐌
737 impressions

Tuesday Jan 12th 2021
203 clicks ⚡⚡⚡
105,114 impressions

In just 6 months with LDOT, that's a 10,000% increase in clicks and a 14,262% increase in impressions (an impression is appearing in a Google search and someone seeing it in the listings).

These stats are JUST from Google and don't include any surplus traffic from;

Facebook
Instagram
Twitter
Bing
Yahoo
Direct visits

We've clocked over 250 total unique visits on one day earlier this week and it's still growing.

WITHOUT SPENDING A PENNY ON ADS.

It takes a little while but you keep the results forever.

We're now working on adding a paid ads campaign to really kick some a** and head for the moon. 🚀

We'll let you know how it goes...

The saying "a picture tells a thousand words" is one of the most accurate phrases ever coined. 📸

A crap photo can tell a thousand bad words about a good project and conversely a good photo can make even the worst of projects look incredible.

Property is up there with the most valuable commodities and it pains us to see good workmanship spoiled with poor photography. 🏘️

Need some help capturing your property projects? Give us a shout - we'll visit, snap, edit and deliver some stunning shots that you'll just want to keep looking at... 🖤

*Disclaimer: all enclosed photos were taken of great projects!

It won't be long before eCommerce is allCommerce.

It's well documented that more and more people are shopping online and ditching the high street... 💻

You can call it a shame, but we need to embrace the change!

We've just delivered Phase 1 of an eCommerce upgrade for Stealth Wallets, all-time top 10 selling travel accessory brand on Amazon - a step towards using Shopify in tandem with AMZN and building a loyal customer base for repeat business.

We worked very closely with the client to rebuild an album of assets to use across all catalogues in both Amazon and Shopify - giving the brand new power to breathe and flex across multiple channels.

We built the Shopify store, then connected live catalogues across Facebook, Instagram and Amazon. The beta FB ads test campaign followed; funneling even more traffic to the store in the lead up to Christmas.

The result?

2 lines sold out and record sales figures on all best selling lines. We've also collated some invaluable sales data we're going to use to kick off 2021 with a bang.

We absolutely LOVE it! 💪

to the Boostagram project...

Boostagram was a UK tech startup that accelerated Instagram growth through the use of AI; and proactively searched out users that would likely be interested in clients' product or service.

A full branding package and bespoke responsive web and mobile site with payment system (we used Stripe) that managed monthly subscriptions with useful reports was needed and we delivered just that.

We adapted the infinity symbol and worked into the logomark to signify "unlimited growth" and used that across the identity to tie everything in.

After systemisation the business grew recurrent income 6-fold in just 12 months.

We loved working on such an innovative product - improving UX / UI to smoothen out the customer journey and increase conversions sings to our passion.

All hail Boostagram!
