Departing words
As they said their goodbyes across the noise, one friend shouted back “see you on social”
It struck a chord.

Whilst we might not always communicate directly with others, friends check-in on our lives and activities via our social platforms.

It’s the same with a business. People interested in our services and products will check us out online.

You can’t ignore it.

Social is a communication tool. One of many.

How are you communicating with your audience, both the familiar and the yet unknown?

Marketing takes many forms and it’s always about amplifying your voice across multiple channels to engage and provide social proof of your expertise and relevance.

See you on social 🤩

And if you need help with your strategy - we’re here for it 😉

And you thought I was fun!

On Friday I am personally delivering a presentation to the NatWest Accelerator cohort about the value of content and how to make it work for your website, and ultimately your business.

We'll be discussing meta tags, meta descriptions, alt tags, Favicons, taglines, clean URLs, the value of FAQs, and Google Console.

I often wonder if I'm getting a bit boring in my old age - let's see what the cohort say :)

*At madcreative we provide a wrap-around service that ensures all our client websites are well looked after, and we respond to questions and demystify the why and how.

**Our team all work closely together and are all based in the UK.
We don't outsource our services to cheap providers but value talented selected designers and developers who we have worked with for many years.

I don't think we've shouted about this enough.

All our projects are managed, delivered and overseen by our Kent-based team.
A couple of our designers live outside of Kent but reside in the UK.
Our website hosting is in-house and responsive, very responsive.

We work with talented individuals that we have carefully selected and chosen to represent our business ethos.

We pride ourselves on maintaining long-lasting relationships.

If you're searching for a business to support you with a new website, marketing strategy or design project - get in contact. [email protected]

We will unravel, explain and help you understand. It's important that you feel confident about your website and know its layout and how to navigate your way around the CMS (Content Management System).

We're here if you need assistance or additional support.

And yes, we do keep an eye on your site and our fingers and toes firmly crossed when you self-edit 😆

We hear you.

Limited hours in the day and lots to do.

Your social media and marketing strategy, if you have one, are becoming neglected.

You need someone dedicated and knowledgeable to drive your business marketing forward because you know you can't afford to be complacent.

You don't want to employ anyone full time or even part time, you don't want the additional paperwork or stress.

You want someone to helicopter in and start work and provide marketing advice, reassurance and share their expertise.

If this is you, contact [email protected]

All websites we build are built to your design and functionality specifications with our guidance.

They include meta tags and meta description fields as standard - we're not fans of SEO plugins.

We don't use templates and aim to use as few plugins as possible.

You'll be able to edit your website with ease.

Yes, we code. It allows us to create a website that can grow and evolve with your business requirements.

We think websites should integrate smart functionality to support your business - appointment booking, online payments, and membership areas.

If you've outgrown your website, your business is expanding and you need something bigger and better - get in contact.

I’m posting this today because it truly resonates with me.
I have the privilege to talk to a lot of business owners and meet incredible founders and entrepreneurs in my day-to-day working day.

I listen, engage, process and think.

My thoughts ⭐️

If a business has got legs and you know there is market need for your product and service - what’s the difference between your businesses being very successful or not?

1. Awareness of market and trends
2. Thinking BIG and executing
3. Confidence to employ experts to support ambition
4. Valuing customer service to increase retention and improve LTV
5. Learning to network and connect with the right people

I welcome your thoughts on this - please do comment ⬇️

GET STICKY.

Let your business, services, or products be memorable for all the right reasons.

Without a doubt, good customer service and consistency of a product/service wins time and time again. Caring about your customers and striving to support them, respond, and provide them with solutions that they need will ensure you are busy.

ACTIONS
Here are a few ideas that will help you elevate your business.

BRANDING
The impression your business makes online and offline.

The social posts, the content on your website, photography, responsiveness to messages, your tone, and your products and services are all about your brand offer.

Does it matter to you?

M A R K E T I N G
The act of fearlessly and honestly talking about your business services and products.

What are you waiting for?

Network, learn & listen

Every time I attend an event, meet new people and learn, I feel energised, more positive and reinvigorated.

REMINDER: Get out from behind your desk, go and sign up to attend an event, and engage with other business owners and meet inspirational people and hear their story.

You’ll be a better business owner, employer and employee for it.

Be your best-self 🙏

Deliver, contribute, be part of the dialogue and own your unique space.

Don’t strive to be like others.

As a leader always consider the culture you create - consciously or subconsciously.

As a business owner what qualities would you like associated with your business services?

As an employee what qualities would you like to own and be aligned with?

Sometimes we expect a lot from others and situations but we aren’t aware of how we present ourselves.

Look closely and self audit.

What do we mean?

Does your website look good on all platforms?
Desktop, tablet and mobile. Each platform will require your website to respond and look a little different due to features and screen size.

Do you respond to enquiries?
Are you a good communicator? Do you check your inbox regularly and reply?

Are you easy to contact - is there an online form or email address that can be used?
Don’t hide your contact details - you’re missing opportunities for more potential business.

Do you keep your website updated and check it regularly?
Websites need to be maintained and given attention so they continue to shine and support your business.

An easy way to keep your feed up-to-date when inspiration and time are in short supply - most days!

What are your 2024 goals?

Christmas is just around the corner 🎄🎄

I’ve got my head on today as I head towards to deliver a marketing workshop to support


Marketing is such a fascinating subject and hearing about how others view the process is always interesting.

Happy Saturday 😉

2024 Season tickets 🎟️

Here at Mount Ephraim we are already thinking beyond Christmas and into next year, and our 2024 season tickets are now hot off the press!

As a special bonus, because we’ve had a few enquiries about buying season tickets for this year so late in the season, we will be selling 2024 season tickets from now on with the option to use them for the final 3 weeks of this season.

So if you didn’t manage to buy a 2023 season ticket and want to make the most of the Indian summer, please pick one up from the ticket box or tea room during opening hours.

Your season ticket will give you entry into the gardens on the remaining Wednesdays to Sundays until 1 October including free entry to our Apple Sunday and Plant Fair Roadshow events on 17th and 24th September respectively. However it will not give you entry to our Halloween opening or any winter pop up openings but you’ll be able to use it throughout the 2024 season from April to September.
