Compared with large companies, small to medium size businesses usually have far fewer resources to help them with their day to day marketing and advertising needs whilst they comply with new demands on their time, for instance the recently introduced Real Time Information (RTI) introduced by HMRC. It is therefore no surprise that the shape of the workforce is changing dramatically with many companies wising up to the increasing...

Being One Step Ahead!

How well do you know your competitors? How many times do you keep an eye on what they’re doing? Are they stealing a march on you and if so how are they attracting customers? Many small to medium size companies are limited on time and because of this are not as knowledgeable about who their main competitors are as they should be, but finding out what makes your competitors tick and keeping one step ahead of them is sound marketing strategy and gathering of intelligence about them puts you and your company in a very strong position - information is most definitely power.

The Lemon Grove, Exeter University

For a long time if you wanted to hear the most exciting new band in Britain, you knocked on a tall black door off the Lambeth Road.
