We provide clear, confident strategic plans to help brands deliver their business goals through the use of social media by clarifying their goals, focusing their efforts, developing internal consensus and establishing clear and proven measures for success.

We create and deliver appropriate ways for brands to join in with or create conversations and communities to reap the eventual benefits of buzz, engagement and long-term loyalty.

We discover new ways for brands to be relevant and profitable in the growing online worlds that can open up new, high-margin revenue streams and lower the risk of missing an important shift in the global business environment.

We carefully research and map the networks around our clients markets, brands, products and services to rapidly understand the existing online landscape. This creates a shared understanding of the relevant themes, issues, people and social spaces at play and directly informs all planning and implementation activities. We do this through our highly-trained consultants, supported by technology.

We help organizations identify their needs around monitoring conversations online, and then recommend or create the appropriate tools, processes and reporting. This provides organizations with a robust, dependable approach that lowers the risk of missing an online crisis, enables like-for-like measurement of ongoing social media marketing initiatives over time and heightens the opportunities to understand and then act on real-time feedback.

We improve the results that websites and other social web platforms deliver by carrying out a range of well-proven user testing services that identify how to increase play, participation, delight and positive buzz.

We carry out bespoke traditional research activities to understand where target market consumers hang out online, which sources they find authoritative and which social technologies they currently engage with to feed into planning and implementation and so reduce wastage and improve return-on-investment.

We help organizations make sense of the mass of information the social web presents, to quickly identify negative buzz before it reaches crisis point. Once potentially influential and negative conversations are identified, we can create bespoke solutions that engage with the online community, mitigate the impact on reputation and where possible, turn crises into opportunities.

We work with clients to tease out what story they want to tell, where they want to tell it and how best to go about telling that story online by developing a content strategy enabling them to plan a content pipeline to deliver a stream of continual and worthwhile content to their audience. The benefits of this investment in compelling content are higher levels of engagement, massive expansion of audience sizes through viral growth and the residual benefit of search engine rankings.

We have a range of services to help clients begin to reach out and engage with valuable, relevant groups of people online. These include blogger outreach, community engagement, online customer service handling (early-stage only) and rapid-response services, all of which can dramatically improve the quality of relationships with the most committed and passionate online advocates and declaimers.

Where appropriate we help our clients to germinate and grow their own communities online, either in existing social spaces (e.g. Face book) or on our client's own platform. This can over time harness a thriving fan base that will solve other consumers problems, spread the word and provide invaluable direct feedback.

We help our clients distribute content and messages to the right places and at the right time to reach the desired online community and have a positive affect on their campaign or brand.

We apply our specialist knowledge to grow ideas that can be translated into engaging websites and web applications.

This approach is flexible enough to accommodate each client's requirements and based on developing a set of Key Performance Indicators that reflect the individual organizations objectives.
