We had such an amazing time at the ladies’ golf day. The prosecco was flowing, the sun was shining, and, believe it or not, some (mini) golf actually happened!

Imogen wowed us with two holes in one, Lauren discovered a new hobby of fishing golf balls out of the water, and Amber? Well, she perfected the art of socialising more than her swing.

A massive shoutout to Codey and Nitin for not only organising an unforgettable day but also for their top-notch prosecco pouring and sweet-throwing skills.

Ruth knew she was following 'One Direction' from the age of 14, and that direction is Marketing. It doesn't judge you! And we won't either. 🎧

Welcome to Ruth, an avid One Direction fan, eater of "proper' Italian food and resident Mozzarella fiend who dreams of one day being Head-Hula Girl on the sunny beaches of Hawaii. 🌴

Creative with a flair for engaging video content and a degree in Media Comms, Ruth joins the team as our new Marketing Executive, and we're excited to see her excel within the Marketing Team. 🙏🏻

Ruth, we salute you! 🫡

One week later, we are still implementing positive changes as a result of the team visiting BizX in Liverpool.

The Management team spent their time at the event gaining valuable industry insights, listening to inspirational stories, and learning actionable takeaways from renowned speakers like Donald Miller, author of the bestselling book "Building a StoryBrand," Deborah Meaden, a successful entrepreneur and seasoned business coach, Kelly Holmes, the Olympic gold medalist, and Piers Linney, a prominent entrepreneur and former Dragon on BBC's Dragons' Den.

The team made the most of their time at the event, networking with remarkable people and businesses while exploring some of Liverpool's iconic spots, such as the famous Cavern Club.

This week, we are at Brighton SEO. We look forward to taking away more valuable knowledge to enhance everything we do for our clients.

Just 1 week to go until the Big game! ⚽

Southend Business Professionals will face Barclays Bank in a charity football match to support Havens Hospices. Everyone has been training hard or at least watching the football. But who do you think will win?

It will be an evening to remember, with an epic match and fundraising events, including a charity auction, raffle, and, of course, a few activities for the kids!

Can't make the event? Click the link to donate! Every donation will help Havens Hospices continue to provide valuable local support to those in need. https://www.havenshospices.org.uk/support-us/events/play-on-the-pitch/

Our head of marketing is gearing up for Brighton SEO. He's got his notepad and pen at the ready, eager to scribble down every valuable insight he comes across.📝

He's planning to hit as many sessions as humanly possible, rub elbows with industry gurus, and absorb the latest digital marketing hacks. We're sure he's going to bring back a boatload of ideas to share with the team.

But let's be real—he'll probably end up at the pub, but hey, that's where some of the best networking happens, right? 🍺

If you spot him, just say hello. He's a pretty sociable guy!👋

Guess who's dusting off his football boots for a great cause?⚽️Our Head of Creative, James, is super excited to participate in the Play on the Pitch 10th-anniversary charity football match to raise money for Havens Hospice.

It's been nearly two decades since James last played on the Southend pitch. Unfortunately, he had to be taken off at halftime due to a leg injury.😅 However, he is back and raring to go. 💪 He can't wait to get back on the pitch and play with some amazing people who have come together to support Havens.

James has been practicing hard for the big day, and he's pumped up to make a difference both on and off the pitch. He's passionate about supporting Havens Hospice and their mission to provide specialist care to those with life-limiting illnesses.

So, let's rally behind James and show our support for Havens Hospice by donating generously either on the day of the event or via this link. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/playonthepitch24

Your support will make a huge difference in ensuring the event's success and the continued provision of vital care for those in need.

Today, our management team is heading to the BizX event in Liverpool. It's a two-day event that allows entrepreneurs and business owners from all across the country to gather to learn the latest strategies for growing their businesses and attracting more customers. At the event, our team will learn about the company, collect ideas, and build a stronger bond with each other.

We're hoping they'll come back with some great ideas and a REVIVEd 😜 appreciation for each other and, dare we say it, some actual smiles! But hey, we won't hold our breath on that last one.

If you happen to be at the BizX event in Liverpool, please come say hi to our managers. It would really brighten their day.

1 month to go until we are back on the Pitch! ⚽

We're gearing up to team up with Barclays and Southend local businesses for the grand 10th anniversary of Play on the Pitch, all to support our local charity, Havens Hospices.

The event will be an evening to remember, with an epic match between Southend Business and Barclays and an evening of fundraising events, including a charity auction, raffle, and, of course, a few activities for the kids!

Once again, our director, Phil, is gearing up to participate in the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 7th of April! He's been putting in the miles and steering clear of pizza (although he's probably counting down the days until the next pizza Friday). Last year, he absolutely smashed it, raising a whopping £9,472 and finishing in an incredible 2 hours and 27 minutes, we have no doubts that he'll beat those statistics this time round!

Phil will be running for , a charity working hard to ensure better treatment outcomes for men with prostate cancer. You can find out more about the charity by heading to their website and feel free to head to Phil's JustGiving page, located below, to support him in this Marathon! 🏃

🚀 Grouped together 100,000+ products into individual ad groups by product type for better brand and product-level targeting.

🚀 Implemented negative keyword lists to exclude underperforming, expensive, unrelated and competitor search terms.

🚀Adjusted device bids at an ad group level to reduce costs on underperforming devices.

🚀 Optimised their product feed and title to improve structure, relevancy and click-through rate.

🚀 Amended feed warnings and errors were resolved to improve overall date quality.

All of these things worked towards the incredible year-on-year results that you can see above! If you'd like help with your PPC campaigns, send us a message!

New client website! 🚀 We are super excited to announce the launch of the brand new website for Spencer West.

Our team worked hard to completely re-design and re-build a brand new website for Spencer West, a fast-growing international law firm for global businesses and private wealth specialists. Spencer West needed to adapt quickly to the rapid pace of the company's development. They came to us explaining that they had outgrown their existing website and wanted to redesign and re-build.

The website includes lots of high-quality features from integrated animations to scroll effects to keep website users engaged and not to mention that the website is now hosted on our eco-friendly, 100% renewable energy data-centre. 🍃 Throughout the whole process, our team carefully considered the user journey of the website for both desktop and responsive/ mobile view. Its seamless navigation, intuitive layout, and user-friendly interface show this.

We implemented a modern and clean design to reflect Spencer West's professional image, incorporating the firm's branding elements for a seamless online presence. The incorporation of interactive elements enhances the user experience, making it not only informative but also engaging.

If you're considering a new website or redesign or need any advice, we're here to help! Feel free to drop us a DM. 💬

Throwback Friday. 🎉 Celebrating the last workday of 2023!

The Revive team headed out for some well deserved drinks to celebrate the numerous successful wins throughout 2023. We also said goodbye to one of our lovely account managers, Sam and wished her the best of luck in her next adventure.

We're now back in the office and cant wait to see what this year brings us, but we know it'll be great! 🚀

2024 is fast approaching, and we're on the edge of our seats, ready to witness all the many different trends and changes within the marketing sector. We've included our top 4 tips that you should apply to your marketing strategy in 2024 and 4 things you should leave behind in 2023. 🚀So let's dive into it 👇

📱 We're running into 2024 with a powerful community. From purposeful conversations to authentic storytelling, it's important to ensure that your audience feels like a part of your brand; your wins become their wins; it makes them feel included. Without community, it almost feels like you are posting to people who do not hear you, which can lead to burnout. Remember, community first, sales second.

🚫 And here's what we are leaving behind in 2023: inconsistency, being too sales-focused on each post, ignoring trends and clone commenting; here's one thing that these all have in common: A lack of personality. Personality separates your business from the rest; people want authenticity and a connection to your brand. Gone are the days of feeling like a product is being forcefully sold to you; instead, customers desire to see your product seamlessly fitting into everyday life.

Let us know what you'll integrate into your 2024 marketing strategy and what you'll leave in 2023. 👇

Building a brand vibe is about making those real connections with your audience! 🌟 It's not just throwing out posts; it's about building relationships with your followers. 🤝 Respond to comments, throw out some intriguing questions, and create shareable content 🚀 Your brand is more than just a presence; it's a relatable vibe and a community.

We've created six exciting ways for you to actively engage with your audience! Whether it's through contests or podcasts, there's an option to fit your communication style.

Remember, the key is to be authentic and genuine in your interactions. The more your audience feels a personal connection, the more likely they will stay engaged with your brand.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S, is the year's most anticipated shopping craze. It involves long lines, early mornings, and chaotic shopping as people eagerly seek the best deals.

The big discounts make Black Friday so popular, perfect for scoring amazing deals just before Christmas! 🎁

This year, Black Friday was a success for many businesses, from out-of-the-box marketing strategies like QR codes in the street to urgent sales like once-a-year sale. This increased the number of enthusiastic shoppers trying to grab the best Black Friday deals! 🚀

We spoke with the team and have come up with our top three favourite Black Friday campaigns for 2023 and why they did so well. 🤩 Let us know in the comments below which Black Friday campaign was your favourite this year and why. 👇

PSA:🔈 Did you know that influencer marketing is one of the most used marketing strategies? We're about to dive into how influencer marketing can benefit your business and why so many companies are using it. 👇

So, let's break it down: influencer marketing is a form of digital marketing that focuses on using an individual with a large audience of potential buyers to promote a product/service via photo or video-based content. But how can it help your business?

Increased brand exposure: Influencer marketing allows your product/service to be shared with thousands of people who align with your target audience. 🚀

Content creation: Influencers use their creativity to produce content that resonates with their audience while showcasing the brand; you can usually utilise their content across your social page. 🔥

Increased engagement and interaction: Influencer content boosts engagement and interaction due to their authentic review of a product/service. People value authenticity a lot, so they resonate with it better. 📱

Leveraging influencer marketing through PR events is another great strategy. Zoe, our social media executive, doubles as an influencer and frequently attends PR events. During these events, she captures and promotes the latest product launches of their business. This offers businesses significant exposure, as multiple influencers often share content about the same event at the same time, directing a larger audience to a business's social media page.

📷 Our social media executive, Zoe, at the Fruit Works PR event to celebrate the launch of their first collection, from smoothie stations to glam stations; the event was a huge success, full of many laughs and smiles!
