Sector: Marketing
Inspiral programme: High Growth Start-Up
Inspiral helped with: Business support and networking
What do you do?
“In a nutshell: internet marketing. We look at a company’s brand, make sure there’s a need for the services and products and then we’ll implement anything from search engine optimisation to pay-per-click marketing to using social media networks to promote our client and make sure they look like they are an industry leader within their sector. We make our clients’ website their hardest working salesman.”
What help has Inspiral given you?
“Inspiral has given us added confidence that we’ve got a service that organisations are interested in. It’s more of a personal touch than a business feel. They were quite happy for us to drop in at any time of the day and ask a question.
They’ve also put us in touch with some key players who we wouldn’t have ordinarily met if it weren’t for them. We’ve been trading for ten months and most businesses our age will not be networking with the kind of people we do.”
How has Inspiral’s help impacted on your business?
“They’ve given us more focus, helped us meet the right people who are going to help us achieve our goals and generally speeded up our progress. We started trading in March 2007 and I think we’re on target to be one of the few High Growth Start-Ups to achieve a quarter of a million pound turnover in less than a year.
What advice would you give to someone looking to start their own business?
“Don’t be put off from getting help from Inspiral by the form filling process, grab every opportunity that comes your way and be brave.”
