New clients and a change...

Autumn has started as it always does.  Through late summer there's always a feeling - whatever company you're working in - a semi-panic that it won't get busy again.  Forgetting that we haven't had a summer like 2013 for a long time, I hadn't put two and two together that people weren't responding to phone calls and letters because they're all relishing the heat.  Back to school and it's still beautifully warm but everyone's in a mad rush to get new websites up and running, brochures in the post and photographs done while the leaves still cling to the trees.

Our new sister company, Marketing for Care Homes is now fully under way and the website has been a resounding success.  We were unsure about how it would work on a national level with minimal input into hardcore SEO tactics, but new clients from Birmingham to Oxford to Worthing have allayed any nerves we might have harboured at the launch of the project.

In other news, having beaten all our targets for the second year running, Shuttlefish Creative is now a limited company. And on a completely different note I noticed this week that Shuttlefishing is actually something people do and Shuttlefish is also a band in Cape Town, South Africa. , although judging bythe MySpace page it's a bit light on tunes. Have a great autumn guys.  Here's picture from our archives to cheer you all.

While our clients were all on holiday we thought it would be a good time to launch a new company.  I say company, it's what we already do, but in order for people to be able to find us better we've re-branded it and given it a name.  If you are involved in any way with the care sector in the United Kingdom, you now have a one-stop shop called, rather simply, Marketing for Care Homes. 

It began after having worked hard for the very successful Berkley Care Group for two years, helping them to brand and launch four new care homes across the UK.  We now act as external marketing departments for some, and ad-hod creative agencies for others.  Whatever it is a care client is after, we tend to find that it's our knowledge of their day-to-day business that makes it easier for them to trust us to provide what they need.  It's early days and doesn't affect anything we already do as Shuttlefish Creative but if you know someone in the care sector, or you're launching a new home, get in touch for a meeting, with no obligation. Alternatively, contact me for a brochure and a chat.  0333 012 0066
