UNBXD Opens New Studio in Dorset

UNBXD Opens New Studio in Dorset

Working in the Creative Sector, we rely heavily on our environment and the people around us for inspiration. When it came to the layout of our studio we wanted to avoid an enclosed space and to reflect our team's personality and style. It was important that our workspace was a combination of what each individual wanted. This resulted in an open plan design with the creative studio at one end and the photography studio at the other, where each of the team can communicate with each other in a relaxed space which is an adaptable for our team as well as welcoming clients.

Keeping up with the Bakers: A Revolutionary Marketing Campaign

With augmented and virtual reality flourishing and Facebook and Instagram introducing their own version of Snapchat, the ability to market brands and businesses online is growing and as a result, Marketers are finding they have more tools to utilise. As an outcome, it is becoming much more competitive in the business world and we are seeing many more innovative and inspirational marketing campaigns publicised. And today is a very exciting day for us Marketers as we have seen the most innovative and revolutionary marketing campaign that uses all three means of content (video, technology and social media) unveiled.

The British luxury clothing brand Ted Baker, who is renowned for its quirky and creative campaigns, has raised the bar for brands and put themselves ahead of the competition with their new marketing campaign. Setting itself apart from ad campaigns consisting of “big headline fashion photographers and celebrities” is as integral to Ted Baker as its smart dresses and quirky styling. And the fashion brand, well-known for its unorthodox take on marketing, is continuing that charge with the launch of a new comedy sitcom.

And this is by far the most innovative and inspirational marketing campaign of 2017 to date.

MailChimp Integrates Facebook Ads with Email Marketing

From our extensive research and testing, MailChimp is the one of the best email marketing platform for businesses, of all different sizes, to utilise in their marketing strategy. The main reason why we found MailChimp to be a compelling choice for email marketers is its thorough collection of out-of-the-box integrations with third party applications, such as Shopify. The ability to integrate with third party applications means that it can give marketers a better understanding of their customer bases and campaign performance, which then helps them learn how to convert messaging to sales. It was recently announced that MailChimp is furthering their exhaustive collection of integrations even more so by launching a 'Facebook Ads' product.
