Mapping out a successful journey

As with all things in your business, the key to getting somewhere is to set a target. However without marketing experience, it’s hard to know where to start.

It's simpler than you think: Don't copy the big brands, you don't need to resonate with everyone, you need to resonate with someone.

With many different agencies and freelancers all promising varying results, differing approaches and prices, we feel your pain.

We are here to guide you on that journey, we want to be your digital sherpa planning the route through the wilderness.

Starting with discovery workshops and marketing planning sessions will ensure that you are setting off on the right foot.

“From start to finish the Vu team have been faultless, not only is the end product incredible, so too is the journey.”

Values-based marketing and relationship building are an essential part of our business and the success of these activities hinge on partnering with someone with a keen desire for collaboration, the patience and skill set to understand our business as if it were their own, and a knowledge for measuring our progress. From my experience Vu Online is one of a very select league of marketing practices that I would recommend to others as they consistently demonstrate the expertise and attitude to fulfil this role whilst also adding value to the quality of our product.

Dom provided a very professional review of my business' marketing needs, and his questions prompted a lot of relevant points, and allowed me to think about things I hadn't considered before. His process was well structured, allowing a natural conversation that opened up lots of great ideas.

I attended the SEO Training course at VU with Dom, and it was brilliant! I went in with barely any idea what SEO meant or entailled and left with lots of ideas on how to get the best out of our website, and keep an eye on its perfomance. Dom made everything understandable and I really enjoyed the day.

Vu Online was the first marketing and web agency I worked with as an in-house copywriter and for me they set the standard for professionalism, transparency, and friendliness. Having worked with other agencies since I can honestly say that any business who uses Vu is in safe hands - unbeatable support at each stage of the process and engagement with the client to create maximum impact for the brand and website.

The team at Vu have been a pleasure to work over the past 8 months, creating a modern and functional website that creatively allows our company personality and values to shine through. Since launch in April, Vu have been on hand and quick to respond to all our queries as we navigate our way around. They are always friendly and enthusiastic, keen to find solutions and we are very grateful to have found a fab company on our doorstep.

We’ve been working with Vu since 2017. During this time they’ve built us a new website and provided ongoing digital marketing support and advice. They’ve proved themselves to be proactive, professional and creative. They were quick to understand our needs, as well as get their heads around the nuances of an industry they hadn’t previously worked in. We have no hesitation in recommending the team at Vu.

Vu Online were commissioned to produce the website for Apex HR in February 2018.From the word go, Vu were brilliant to deal with. They understood our requirements clearly and produced some really creative ideas and concepts to support the website design. They challenged our thinking and used their expertise and energy to generate the best result. The team were always responsive and helpful with any queries we had - meaning the whole process was simple and hassle free. The website has generated some fantastic leads for us as a new business and really showcases our brand and ethos. The feedback we have received from website users has been overwhelmingly positive.I'd wholeheartedly recommend using Vu Online, they were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire project.

VU Online is a very professional company who are somehow also able to come across in a very personal way, accepting that not all clients necessarily know technical terms, cutting out jargon and making things easy to work through in a measured and constructive manner.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and in fact have already. A truly global company who are able to work both on a local and international level.

For anyone procrastinating about investing in a new website and publicity for their company, do it with VU. However large or small you are, established or starting out, I can vouch for them - they are brilliant! I am an artist, arts facilitator and collaborator. Since entrusting VU to design and build my website and grow my online presence, my confidence and quality of work has gone from strength to strength and work opportunities blossomed. A number of users of my website have commented - "Its fantastically efficient and easy to navigate. The links are brilliantly placed ... and it beautifully sums up you and your work." Thank you, amazing team at VU - one of the best investments I ever made.

Vu are a brilliant company to work with, I can't recommend them more highly.They have advised and guided me through the process of setting up an commerce website that really competes, and together we've created something I'm really proud of. They're reasonable priced, efficient, have bags of patience and really know what they're talking about it! If you need to make a website, look nowhere else.

As a business coach being productive, valuing my time and knowing the importance of resonating out there in the world of social media is essential for my business and indeed for any business today. If you’re not able to actually comment and be a commentator in the social sphere no one will hear you. Here’s the thing, the paradox if you will, how do you ensure your message is heard without spending all your time on social media. Social media can very easily sock up huge amounts of your time, so what do you do? That’s simple, engaged with VU, they clearly understand who I am, who I want to reach out to and my message. Since engaging VU to manage, run and maintain my social media presence I have been able to focus additional time ON my business in delivering value. I am advised on the message and what’s currently trending, opportunities, conversations to join in on and when I should post. Today my posts are timely, shared and effective. I have built strong presence in the region and building a great reputation. I’m able to focus on what’s going to be really engaging and all with the aim to communicate and build relations with my prospects. As with any investment am I getting a ROI, simply yes. Not only can I see the level of engagement growing VU also back it up with data, I’m actually given a summary of the analytics. Without hesitation, being a congruent business owner, if you want, not only to grow your presence on social media, but want to do it in a meaningful way to reach your audience and build a reputation you have to talk to VU. Thanks team VU.

As a social enterprise and non-profit, investing in professional support can feel like a big leap. Our work with Vu has proven them to be worth their weight in gold. Their ability and enthusiasm to understand a project, to know it inside out and to target our niche market has had astonishing results. I highly recommend them.
