It’s been a busy week in the marketing world, here’s what has caught our eye!

 
 
The crisis surrounding United Airlines’ treatment of a passenger escalated further as social media took hold of the public relations faux pas. America’s third biggest carrier is being slammed online for violently dragging a passenger – a 69-year-old Asian man, believed to be a doctor – off an overbooked flight. This comes just weeks after the company, whose slogan is “Fly the Friendly Skies”, was ridiculed for refusing to allow two teenage girls to board a flight because they were wearing leggings.
 
 
Another industry under scrutiny this week is telecommunications. The industry has been told to “up its game” on customer service after a new report by Ofcom revealed issues around the quality and speed of service and how customer calls and complaints are dealth with. The report found that while 92% of mobile customers, 89% of landline customers and 87% of broadband customers are ‘satisfied’ with their service, the level of service varies across providers.
 
 
Ordnance Survey has produced an amazing digital tool which produces 3D aerial views of countryside walks, cycle routes, mountain climbs and places of interest.
 
 
Soft drinks giant Coca Cola is looking to improve the effectiveness of its digital advertising after admitting consumers are growing ever more impatient and it is “missing a trick” when it comes to ad optimisation. Through testing the soft drinks brand found that 30% of its total advertising does not reach its “action standards”. It wants to reduce this figure.
 
 
Members of the public are not confident they will still use services such as LinkedIn, Snapchat and Pinterest in a decade, underlining a perceptions around brands and their apparent longevity.A survey of 2,000 consumers across the UK and France Research from Morar Consulting, commissioned by Mailjet in March 2017, gauged peoples’ perception of online services and social networks.

Social Media

All the tweets and posts in the world won’t help generate leads unless there’s some strategic thinking behind what you’re doing.

We’ll help define the right social media strategy for you, so that you’re on the right platforms, saying the right things to the right people at the right time to generate the right leads.

Design & Brand Building

Marketing is bit like those huge, swirling flocks of starlings you see from time to time. Individually your brochure, email, ad, meme or gif may not change the world.

But when you join them together and ensure they’re all heading in the same direction, you have the power to stop people in their tracks.

We design communications that help build a consistent brand and convert more leads to sales.

Websites

Your website can generate leads in so many ways. Informed content. Strong calls to action. A simple, natural journey from ‘Hi there!’ to ‘Buy now’.

Yet websites are never ‘done’. They need to keep evolving to keep pace with your customers’ expectations, so we’ll be with you for the long haul to keep tweaking, refining and growing your site – and to deliver the PPC campaigns that help drive traffic towards it.

Because when your website keeps working to understand and speak to your audience, you’ve got more chance of converting.
