Thank you Sally for all your help with my social media strategy. It has been a pleasure working with you. I started out with no clear focus on what I needed to do but I now have a plan, a more relaxed attitude, and best of all I have started doing FB live videos! Being 'out there' is a scary thing for me but with Sally by my side I feel inspired to be brave. More...

Here at Browns Department Store we were looking for help with our social media - especially on Facebook. We had a FB page but no particular strategy. We knew we were not making this very important social media platform work for us. Sally and the team at Pick and Mix came on board and have done a fabulous job with our social media platforms, which now are an integral part of our marketing strategy - rather than just an afterthought!
Sally really knows her stuff and so we know we are getting the best service and direction from her. One of the really impressive aspects of the service is that Sally and the team really get to know your business and work with you to do what is best for your business. The down to earth and practical approach is very welcome. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pick and Mix to any company looking for help with marketing. The "Pick and Mix" approach means you only need to "pick" the areas/aspects you wish to address.

Thanks so much for my social media audit. It’s great. Turnaround was really quick and it’s full of great suggestions. I’ve found things I didn’t even know were included in Facebook! Loved the competitor analysis as well. (Sorry it’s taken so long to do this!) More...

pick&mix provided Ainsty Ales with a Marketing Audit & Plan in August 2016. The work carried out was extremely in depth, very useful and included a current marketing audit on Ainsty Ales, a competitor audit, key objectives and recommendations.

At the time the business was in transition from a one man band contract-brewing, to an employer with its own microbrewery in York, having a marketing strategy on paper to refer to has helped no end .... we look forward to continuing our relationship with pick&mix in 2017!

Services

Are you searching for marketing or social media strategy?
If you’re a business who mainly uses traditional communications, you can bring your brand up to date by increasing your online presence. With most people now seeking for online recommendations before making purchasing decisions, it’s crucial that your brand is where your potential customers are looking.

However online content and social media is just one element of the marketing mix. If you don’t consider it as part of your broader marketing strategy, you won’t get the results you need.

That’s where we come in. We’re qualified marketing professionals who’ve been running successful campaigns for years. We understand how to create comprehensive marketing strategies that align with your company objectives.

This insight is not as common as you might think. Many companies offer social media training but few can advise you on putting a meaningful strategy in place. We however get to know you individually and we consult in tailored one-to-one sessions. This means that everything you do in terms of marketing is focused on achieving your specific goals. We believe this is the only way to be sure your effort, and money, is well spent.

How we can help you
We work with established businesses on a project basis. This means we’ll walk you through the process of planning a strategy, creating content and monitoring results.

Consultancy
Knowing what your business has to offer against your competitors is essential for making your brand stand out from the crowd. We can perform a professional competitor audit and help you identify which unique messages you need to bring to the fore in your marketing.

Marketing or Social Media Strategy
Before you post anything online, it’s essential to have a clear plan in place. If you don’t have this yet, we can work with you to develop one. We will recommend which social platforms will be suitable for your customer groups and suggest how to put across your messages. We’ll also advise on how often to post and how best to allocate your budget for paid campaigns.

Team Training
Once you’ve got your plan, you’ll need to implement it. We can come to you for a training session and make sure your whole marketing team are up to speed on social. We’ll tailor what we teach to your strategy so that everyone’s efforts are entirely focused on achieving your company goals.

One to one training
Perhaps you have one or two people in particular who’ll be looking after your social media? We offer smaller group training sessions in our own training room too. Over the course of two hours, we work very closely with individuals to make sure they understand everything they need to.

Would you like someone to manage your marketing and social media profiles or create content for you?
Whether you don’t have the time or don’t have the knowledge to make your marketing work for your business, we can give you the support you need.

Managing all of your marketing takes time. We can free you up by looking after your campaigns. This might involve online activities, but we’re able to help with traditional events and PR too. We’ll think of clever ways to implement your strategy so you achieve your goals. Without this distraction yourself, you’ll be able to focus on what you do best.

We explain things simply. A small and straight-forward Yorkshire team, we won’t bamboozle you with jargon. We’ll just get on with running adverts or writing posts that your followers will love.

We’re flexible too. Depending on what you need, we can find you the right solution. We don’t offer fixed packages at high prices. Instead, you can “pick & mix” between us planning your strategy, securing press coverage or posting for you online.

The number of clients that stay with us year after year is a testament our trustworthiness. We will get to know you well so you can rely on real people that understand your business. We won’t let you down and will always be on the other end of the phone if you need help.

How we can support you
Content Plan
What does your business’ tone of voice say about you? Do your messages give potential customers the right impression? Which kinds of social media posts should you be creating? We can help you get these things right with a content plan. You’ll have a clear document that you can refer to when publishing on social media and we’ll write you some exemplar posts to showcase your style.

Social media management
We can manage your social media in a number of different ways. We’ll write your posts on a monthly basis and monitor your profiles. This includes checking which posts perform well and responding to customers’ comments- even on evenings and weekends. You can choose whether you’d like us to look after just one social media site, or all of them.

Paid social media posts
Did you know that social media advertising is one of the most efficient marketing tools around? We’ll create posts that will appeal to your ideal audience and make sure they see them. Whether you want to drive traffic to your website or promote a specific event, we can run paid social media campaigns cost-effectively.

Reporting
Knowing how your customers arrive at your website or what they search for on Google is essential for writing successful social media posts. We understand how to interpret the analytics and insights of Facebook and Google and we can translate what the numbers mean for you. Going forward, you’ll know how to capture your audience’s attention and encourage them to buy.

PR
We may live in a digital age, but attracting the attention of journalists and editors is still as important as ever. Our team can identify newsworthy stories within your business and help get them picked up by the media. Seeing your brand on TV, radio or online means your customers will be more aware and prepared to buy your services.

Award Entries
Being recognised with an award will dramatically raise your business’ profile, as well as guarantee customers’ trust in the quality of your service. The secret to winning however, is often a well-written entry. We will get to know your brand and create a thoughtful application that puts your business in the best light.

Blogging
Blogs are increasingly important for attracting savvy customers who are searching for products online. We can write well-structured and interesting blog posts for you to ensure your brand stays at the forefront of their mind. They’ll also keep your website appearing at the top of their search results.

Do you need training on how to use social media for marketing?
Are you confused by social media? Bewildered by adverts or scheduling? Struggling to come up with content ideas?

We can give you training to get around these problems. Our fun and friendly team will explain how to use social media at your own level and pace.

We’re qualified and experienced. We’ve completed professional marketing courses and have been running successful campaigns for years. We’ll fit social media into your broader marketing strategy and teach you how to align what you do online with what you already do offline.

Our one to one sessions are completely bespoke. We’ll work with you individually so that you can be sure that what you learn is relevant. We will help you use the most appropriate social media platforms to achieve your business’ specific marketing objectives.

Would you like someone to write your social media posts, blogs or other copy for you?
Great writing and effective communication is absolutely vital if you want customers to engage with your business. We will get you the attention you need, both on and offline.

PR
Public relations (PR) is a brilliant way to get your business into the limelight. By bringing your stories to life, boosting awareness and developing relationships with the media, we can propel your organisation into the spotlight. We will thoroughly research your business, identify stories and develop strategies to market them attractively to journalists and editors, whether in print, radio, TV and/or online.

Copywriting
Poorly written content can destroy your credibility and hard work in an instant. Whether part of an ongoing marketing plan or a one-off project, our copywriting means accurate, engaging and informative copy for both traditional and online outlets, with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) always at the forefront of our minds.

Blogging
Blogging is a fantastic way to engage your target market and create a buzz around your business through regular and compelling online content. Countless numbers of people across the world read more than one blog a day, so the ‘blogosphere’ really can help businesses to reach customers.
