Lunch and Learn: Using light to promote your business

Watch back: Using light to promote your business

&lt;p&gt;My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.'&amp;nbsp;Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general. I help people by listening to what they need, suggesting ideas, sending links, making introductions, adding value, and offering relevant products and services, where appropriate. When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Me&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working in senior management positions for the past 20 years within niche travel sectors, as well as other commercial sectors, means that I have extensive knowledge and experience across a multitude of business areas. I am commercially astute and very detail driven working within areas focusing on commercial activities across sales, marketing and customer service. In setting up Newboldology I am fulfilling a desire to help and support small businesses, start-ups and fellow entrepreneurs. It gives me a great deal of personal satisfaction to see the impact of our hard work and positive results this gives other businesses. Outside of work my focus tends to be spending time with family and enjoying cycling and running with my dog, Cosmo. In recent years the focus has been on running more than club cycling, most memorable moments being taking part in the 2018 London Marathon and the 2019 ‘Race to the King’ Ultra Marathon. 2020 was disrupted by the pandemic, but here’s looking to a new challenge in 2021!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Newboldology Ltd&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can do as much or as little as you need, from setting up a Facebook or Instagram page to a full package that includes working with you to identify the messages you want to promote, researching and writing the posts from scratch and ensuring they go out on time. All of this will be carried out as part of a cohesive marketing content plan that links the messages and raises the overall profile of your business, which can lead to increased organic reach, follower engagement and a consistent brand voice and message.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We undertake website development or review and editing/redesign of websites, including copy writing so that all your marketing angles are covered effectively. We work in close collaboration with a website designer to fulfil larger marketing projects so your visibility is consistent across all channels and works in-line with your brand message. Once website design or updating is complete, we can then continue supporting your business with content planning and blog writing.&lt;/p&gt;
