Their boundless energy and unique insight into the weddings industry matches our passion for bringing the world bespoke wedding food to knock our client's socks off! Thanks a million Anna and Co.

Having worked with Anna for a number of years I can honestly say that she always provides an extremely high quality service. Among (many!) other things Anna has given advice on the development of our website (Normans Musical instruments), managed our email/social marketing campaigns and looked after our Google Adwords account. Her drive and 'can do' attitude to getting the job done efficiently and on time means that I have total confidence when assigning projects to MacMartin and have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I've just spent a very inspiring morning with Anna and Claire taking part in their first Social Media Boot Camp. It was an ideal blend of training and discussion (with delicious coffee and chocolates as an added attraction! ) The Studio is a really nice environment for holding these sessions and I've returned home with lots of ideas I want to implement.

I attended MacMartin Creative’s social media bootcamp and loved it. Held in a relaxed environment with other small business owners, Anna and Claire gave a comprehensive overview of all relevant social media platforms. They had researched our companies beforehand and were therefore able to give relevant examples and ideas tailored to our businesses. It was an interactive session with a hands on approach and I now feel able and confident to put new ideas into practice. I feel confident about my social media strategy going forward and strongly recommend the social media bootcamp to other small businesses. More...

Thank you for a very informative morning at Macmartin creatives social media bootcamp with a brilliant & friendly team Anna & Claire. They covered an overview of social platforms. The session was really interactive with lots of opportunities to ask questions no matter how small. It was lovely to meet other small businesses that are in a similar situation, we were able to share knowledge and experience. Held in a comfortable and relaxing environment with refreshments on tap. Would highly recommend to others. Thank you again. More...

What makes a great website?
A website should reflect your business' personality. All colours, fonts and images should all be carefully chosen to visually show what your business is all about. Content is equally as important for both technical reasons, and to demonstrate what your business has to offer. It goes without saying that a website needs to be fully responsive, SEO friendly, accessible and quick to load!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When a client is starting a new project, we are keen to find out what their overall objective is. It may be that we can help you to reach these goals in a more efficient way! We like to get to know all of the ins and outs of a clients business before we even begin to market it!
Describe your creative process.
When working with new clients, we take a little time to try and get 'into their head' . We find out what it is they like, add our own suggestions and come up with something wonderful!
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Depending on the clients requirements, we like to have a chat with them either over the phone or in person to find out more about their business, their business goals and what they hope to achieve.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with such a creative team! Our small team of four generates some of the most fantastic ideas for our clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working in partnership with my sister (who is an inspiration in herself) was an opportunity not to be missed!
Why should our clients choose you?
We are friendly, straight talking and get the job done well. We work much more closely with you than an agency would and most of our clients consider us an extension to their current employees.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
All of our services can be provided online / remotely.
Web Design & Hosting
If you don’t have a website, or have a website but think it’s rubbish, we can help. We can build you a brand-new website to be proud or give your current website a face lift to make your competitors jealous.
SEO & Paid Search
Google is VERY clever… but so are we. We understand how Google works and what it takes for customers to find you online. The ins and outs of this are far too boring and time consuming for you to worry about. Let us take care of it. Just make sure you’re ready to handle all the new business!
Graphic Design
You have probably spent a lot of time and effort building your business, so don’t let it down with bad design work. Your logo, leaflet, menu, brochure etc. act as the face of your business and tell customers what you are all about. Don’t risk it - make sure it's right!
Branding
Have you ever sat down (with a cup of tea) and really thought about what your business is trying to say? Is that message consistent? Use our skills to help strengthen your brand.
Social Media Marketing
The power of social media is frightening but somehow always gets pushed to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. We can take it off your hands and help you to communicate with your customers effectively, as well as teach you how to avoid the common pitfalls. It’s not as easy as it looks.
Email Marketing
Your inbox is probably flooded with marketing emails from all sorts of businesses. We know it can be annoying… very annoying, BUT it is also very effective for generating sales and leads. A carefully thought out, beautiful looking, helpful and interesting email can work wonders for your business.
Copywriting
Unless you are a keen writer, you will probably groan at the thought of writing new content for your website, blog, brochure or anything else that involves words. The Mac AND The Martin really enjoy writing and we can adapt our writing styles accordingly.
Training
Sometimes you might like to do things for yourself. We run various digital marketing ‘hands-on’ training courses that can be delivered at your own place of work, with your own staff. We will teach you everything that we know (even our top secrets) and be on hand to help where we can afterwards.
