New Name, Same Satisfaction

For the last six years, Austin Marketing has been working with Dyer & Butler, one of our infrastructure service companies, during which time we’ve produced a multi-page newsletter, twice a year, called Construction Matters. This newsletter focuses on providing updates on the latest activity, across all the UK regions and the different areas of expertise: Aviation, Rail, Highway & Other Infrastructures.

Most recently, the Construction Matters newsletter has been renamed Transport News, to better represent the position in the market the company has in the infrastructure sector.

Naturally, with this renaming came a rejig of the cover, which we’ve incorporated along with the newsletter’s standard layout so that it kept the same feel and it didn’t feel like a major gearshift. More info

Social Media (SM) is an established multi-platform way to connect brands and consumers, whether they’re old customers, new or potential.

You may be unsure of the value of social media for your company, and see it only as a source of frustration and an extra burden to produce fresh content continuously for these platforms. Concerns about putting pressure on an already stretched marketing team or the hard-cost of outsourcing SM strategy and implementation to an agency can make it difficult to justify internally why this investment should be made, and what the ROI will look like.

An SEO expert is someone trained to improve your visibility on search engines.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has become crucial to those customers who want their website to generate sales. The objective of SEO is to continually optimise a website to make it appear in a high position in organic search results (if you want to learn more about how Google Search works, why not read our blog post on the subject?)

At Austin Marketing, we treat SEO seriously and with an individual approach to every client. Our SEO services focus on both on-page optimisation, such as the technical background of the site, site structure and content, and off-page factors such as links to your site from other websites and your local search presence.

Even though every site is unique from an SEO perspective, there are 4 steps that are an inseparable part of every SEO strategy:

In the beginning of July, Austin Marketing launched a new website for one of our clients in the Construction industry, Landmark.

Landmark is a leading multi-disciplined Groundworks and Civil Engineering Construction contractor, providing services across South East England. Established in 1998, they have built a reputation for reliable and high-quality workmanship, delivering projects of ranging sizes to both programme and budget.

They felt that their old website was not representing either the scale or scope of work that they undertake on a daily basis.

As a result, Austin Marketing was commissioned to provide Landmark with a new website design that would encourage visitors to engage with Landmark, having gained an appreciation of Landmark’s experience and strengths.

Another rebrand and new website ticked off for Austin Marketing! Our team would like to introduce to you the newly rebranded Inception Planning.

Inception Planning, formerly known as Griffin Planning Consultancy, provides consultancy services and advice for home owners, land owners, developers and architects within the residential, public, commercial and industrial sectors. The consultancy has been established since 2008 and operates across London and the South of England.

During the early part of February 2019, we were commissioned by Inception Planning to undertake the rebranding of their visual identity which involved producing new content, designing a new logo and building a template website for them.

Beforehand, we planned a new sitemap which enabled us to revisit the menu structure and ensure that the website was easy to navigate around. The selected web design is supported by a visually engaging image slider, displaying a range of properties from the sectors that Inception provides consultancy services and advice for.

The new website was published early-June 2019 and is now fully responsive on mobile devices and tablets. We look forward to building a long-standing partnership with Inception Planning and successfully undertaking SEO performance management for them.

There are a lot of options available and for someone who is not exactly a ‘techie’, it might sometimes be a bit confusing.
