Hi Bryan,

I thought I'd drop a quick email to see if you or your team ever get frustrated at having to manage ever more complex Excel spreadsheets just to maintain the day-to-day workings of the business?

Here's a list that might resonate with you - www.wire-box.co.uk/5-excel-spreadsheet-nightmares/

At Wirebox we specialise in developing databases and using technology to join up and improve everyday business processes, across multiple departments, functions and regions.

We are very good at connecting multiple platforms and automating tasks that previously took hours or in some cases even weeks!

We can develop new database systems alongside bespoke applications, E-commerce or web applications, or adapt your existing databases to make them suitable for your current business needs.

Take a look at our site for a bit more info - www.wire-box.co.uk/escaping-excel-hell/

Let me know if this is of interest. I'd be happy to share more detail on a call if you want to know more.

Best,
Sam

  • On: Sept. 24, 2018, 8:02 a.m.

Hi Bryan,

Do you have any events or publicity stunts coming up? If so, my team can provide on-the-day video production.

I work for The Outlook Creative Group; we're experts in delivering meaningful content and communications that create results. Supported by our in-house Design team, we can capture the audience's imagination with an eye-catching event video that allows you to:

- Maximise your investment in your live event by extending the shelf life of your content.
- Circulate messaging quickly through next-day or same-day edits.
- Create greater social engagement through the sharing of multiple optimised edits.
- Give us direct feedback during the event filming and editing.
- Generate event hype online and on location before and during the event.
- Live stream and share your event to any phone, tablet or remote location.

We've recently done this for CBRE and Clas Ohlson, the latter of which resulted in unprecedented Facebook and Instagram engagement.

Take a look at the case study here: http://www.outlook-creative.co.uk/clas-ohlson-social-engagement-case-study

If you have an event coming up that you think we could help you with, let me know, and I can arrange a call to discuss.

All the best,
Philippa

Are you looking for software to help your teams work smarter and faster?

I work for 100 Shapes. We create the internal tools at BBC and ITV, Burberry and the Discovery Channel. They've saved millions of pounds and hours by cutting the time of repetitive tasks.

Take a look at our work: https://www.100shapes.com/work/

Tactically, the problems you' re aware of will get fixed. Strategically, your team will work better.

If you're interested, I'd love to arrange a time for a quick chat; maybe take you through how we've helped businesses. I'm looking to find a project to work on for you.

All the best,

  • Subject: How-to Video Content
  • On: Sept. 26, 2018, 1:32 p.m.

Hi Bryan,

I was wondering if you might be interested in having a quick conversation about your 'how-to' content for 2019?

While we are expert in all forms of video, how-to video content has long been a driver for consumer engagement and social traffic, as brands can no longer rely on basic and functional educational content with low production values and little to no creative edge.

At Hub we develop a how-to content strategy that reflects your customers' unique journey to purchase, and then promote that content effectively with seeding (thus ensuring ROI).

We recently launched the new Whittard campaign with 'How to Cold Brew' in July, which was timely content that fell in line with their summer holiday marketing calendar and the launch of their redesigned website.

You can see the case study here: https://inbound.hub.tv/hubfs/PDFs/Hub_Whittard_Case_Study.pdf

The launch has outperformed initial expectations, reaching the same audience in 5 days that their previously most successful video took 11 months to achieve, at a cost of less than 1p per view. With an engagement rate of 84%, this also exceeds comparable Help content performance metrics.

I would love to arrange a call to discuss the details if of interest?

Best,
Isabella
