Take Pride in Your Marketing This June

The first Pride march in the United Kingdom took place 50 years ago. It was a celebration, but it was also a protest. Things have progressed significantly since then, but progress should not be taken for granted; there is always more work to be done.

Rainbows seem to emerge everywhere throughout June, July, and August as corporations demonstrate their apparent support for the LGBTQ+ community. While this may appear to be a good thing – after all, supporting a marginalised community can only be a positive thing, right? – the rainbow washing of everything from candies to banners in public transportation does not convey the whole story.

Designing a fresh look for Hendon Way Motors

Hendon Way Motors is a well-recognised brand that has been around for 70 years, so we didn't want to move too far away from their heritage. They approached UNBXD to help modernise their existing brand with an updated logo and colour palette.

We made slight adjustments to their iconic HWM logo-mark ad retained the use of Gill Sans for the logotype but rejuvenated their colour palette to become more refined. The colour scheme we decided on was based on 70's Italian cars, with Rosso Corsa and Bianco Puro being the primary colours.

For the website design for Hendon Way, we wanted to give a classic but modern feel whilst delivering an optimal user experience. We've used white space to ensure that it provides a contemporary feel, while introducing the brand's deep red sparingly throughout the pages so as not to overwhelm the users.

Digital Marketing Tools: The History of Email

When new clients come to us, you would be surprised by the number of companies that don’t think about using email marketing to contact their existing customers and expanding their marketing funnel.

This is likely due to several factors. The first is that 99% of emails we receive are boring or the promotions included are not worth taking, and the second is the new laws introduced into the EU to protect your privacy. Thankfully, the days of receiving emails from companies you have never heard of offering your offers on foot creams are gone.

Like all relationships, keeping your customers invested in your brand requires understanding and care. What are they looking for? Why have they subscribed to get emails from me? Do they want to see this?. These are the questions you should be asking every time you create a new email campaign.

Email might be one of the oldest digital marketing tools available to us, but it’s still an avenue every business should utilise.

Ukraine: How Social Media is Being Harnessed For Good During Russia's Invasion

We are sure you are all aware of the terrible situation happening to the people of Ukraine. On behalf of everyone on the team, we are truly devastated at Putin's actions, and we are distraught and sorry to the people of Ukraine that this is happening.

Today we wanted to explain to those in Marketing why social Media platforms are leaving Russia, or why Russia is blocking them. We also wanted to outline the incredible ways people in Ukraine are using Social Media to spread important information and keep others safe.

We also ask that you take the time and read through some of our suggestions on how you can help linked at the bottom of this article. Many places across the UK are taking in essentials for those fleeing Ukraine, and we recommend (if you can) picking up a few extra items at the supermarket or going through your closet to see if there is anything you can donate. If you don't have these options locally, we have provided a list of reputable and trustworthy organisations below that can take donations.

Becoming Carbon Positive as a Creative Agency - UNBXD

UNBXD is now 22 Months Carbon Positive!

As many of you are probably aware, sustainability and climate change have become an area many of our employees are passionate about. We are actively working to do what we can to reduce it.

While some employees have switched to EV’s and reduced Meat consumption/Gone Vegan, as a company, we have been looking at ways we can improve our organisational footprint. Before the pandemic, we would travel internationally multiple times a year for meetings with new clients; unless essential, we try and push for meetings via Zoom or wait for our paths to cross with personal trips. We are also very aware that not all the products we buy are made with environmental impact in mind. While we are mainly digital, we now look for companies that offer sustainable alternatives for note pads, pens and office equipment.

SHOULD I BE USING TIKTOK TO GROW MY BUSINESS?

If you aren’t showcasing your business on TikTok, you are not maximising your digital marketing potential.

At the beginning of 2018, TikTok had 70 Million users; by August 2021, that number had exploded to over 1 Billion active users. How did this happen, and why is it becoming a dominant Social Media Platform? Let us break it down simply for you.

The History of TikTok

You might not know it, but TikTok isn’t new; in fact, the app’s origins go back to 2016 when parent company ByteDance created an App called Douyin to compete with Musical.ly. In 2017, ByteDance brought the rival app and merged its 200,000,000 users with its own app to create TikTok.
