What sort of marketing do you do? someone asked recently….

Header Logo

I am a designer with a business background and have developed different ways of marketing. I look at the whole company and it’s strategy and bring in specific experts depending on the companies requirements. 

I do some soft social media for a few clients but for a stronger campaign outsource to specialist providers especially if hard core lead generation is needed. 

I enjoy marketing and project managing with several clients on a retainer basis where I become part of their company, team and successful development. This has enabled me to get involved with video, animation and unusual direct marketing and 3D printing.

“Effective & professional ways of communicating to your targeted market across media including sales literature, print, digital and web. 

Planning your strategy and finding exciting ways to engage with your audience, being different and keeping up with digital marketing on social media, incorporating animation and video also. 

Creative concepts and communication – let us take the weight off you and fully project manage your design and marketing activity across many platforms.”

Happy to have a chat to see if we can help. For example we recently quoted for a Marine company in the UK to do all their exhibition stands globally, marketing material and email/social media/website nearer the time.

The beauty of what we offer is that we are not tied into any other company so our clients come first and experience the ‘why not effect’ and we go that extra mile….hope that helps….

One question for you… What are you looking for? what help would you like? and what are you trying to achieve?

Brand Strategy Workshop

Brand Strategy Workshop

Brand Strategy Workshop

We recently launched our inaugural Brand Strategy Workshop, 5 business people attended at our studio in Cheshire, the comments/reviews blew us away and can be seen below with the content details and information.

We are planning to runs these regularly, concentrating on small numbers and quality so that candidates get the best interaction and support. Apart from the wealth of knowledge and content – the added extra gold dust, is the interact and input from each other, at one point I sat back for a few minutes watching it take off, we also have a good mix of personalities, experience and sectors. 

The main feedback and notes to myself were that we need more time as the candidates wanted to bounce off ideas off each other whilst they had an audience and sounding board, also I will take out some bits for future workshops, in my eagerness to communicate more, I must remember ‘less is more’. 

In a previous career I was trained very highly as a trainer and have a wealth of experience to draw on, it is great for me to use my skills in the Design and Marketing arena and look forward to many more, also a Part 2 may well be on the books for a more in-depth Marketing Strategy.

Brand Strategy Workshop

‘This week I attended the inaugural branding workshop by Fox Graphics at their Macclesfield office it was a brilliant session great group of people brain storming all helping each other with our businesses. I would highly recommend Kate, she is fantastic at what she does and has the experience to guide you whether you are a new start up or existing business that’s needs a refresh or simply just want to spend time with like-minded people and get some inspiration!

Excellent, very inspirational

Thank you for your help and support’

Jacqueline Eyre

‘Thank you for your workshop today it exceeded all my expectations’

‘from my point of view I found the workshop very educational and insightful in terms of overall brand strategy. Your interactive approach also meant that we were all able to focus on our own individual bossiness as-well giving each other supporting feedback. An excellent workshop indeed.’

John Galloway  – Co Founder Speed Of Sight / BNI Graphene President

“Just a quick note to say how much I really enjoyed today’s workshop. The real value came from the interplay between you as our “expert” Facilitator / Workshop Leader and ALL the delegates attending!! You were able to expertly guide us through a complex business process  – as we in turn helped each other out during the workshop with very constructive suggestions regarding our many individual business challenges? I would not hesitate to recommend Fox Graphics Design & Marketing to support SME businesses (and bigger?) to understand what they really need to do to significantly grow their business and profitability. As always Kate your inputs are expert, wise and fun!! (plus you kept us all well fed and watered throughout the day!!)”
