Small Business Builder Program

Think of us as your own personal PR & Marketing Department!

There are a lot of clichés and motivational statements around in the small to medium business world – ‘work smarter, not harder’ is just one example. But sometimes its practical expert help you need.

You are the expert in what you do, whatever business you are in, but that doesn’t mean you have all the skills to run every aspect of your business – PR and Communications is a specialised and rapidly changing field and we want to help you.

This is why we have developed our Business Builder Program – it basically means we join your company and assist with PR, Communications and Marketing advice, as well as doing some of the work for you, so you can as the saying goes work smarter, not harder and get the results you want to achieve.

The program has a few different levels depending on the amount of support you need but all include strategic advice and planning assistance to help ensure you are more focused in the PR, communications, marketing and advertising you do, which helps to ensure you get better more cost-effective results.

 

The work we do can cover everything from social media communications, marketing and advertising, media relations, direct promotions to your existing customers, advertising, competition development, video promotions and more.

These programs can work by themselves or as a platform including third-party advertising, weather on social media, Google or other advertising, with additional PR services available to Business Builder clients at special rates so you can multiply the results you are achieving.

All programs start with a “Communications Audit” – we sit down and go through what you are currently doing to promote your business, and then develop a strategic plan – starting with your goals and objectives, identifying who your target audiences are and how to reach them and then developing tactics that suit your objectives and your budget.

Then we will work with you to implement the program and meet regularly to review progress and plan the next steps – helping to ensure you get results.
