Marketing for Birmingham businesses

Birmingham is full of good businesses that are too good for a template website and too small for a big agency. That's who we work best with.

Independent firms and professional services. Accountants, solicitors, surveyors and consultants round Colmore Row and the business district, and the practices out in Edgbaston, Harborne and Solihull. You win work on trust, so the brand and the website have to look as careful as you are.

Hospitality. Restaurants, bars, cafés and venues in Digbeth, Moseley, Kings Heath and the city centre. You need a look people remember, a site that works on a phone, and email that brings people back.

Trades and contractors. Builders, installers and specialist firms right across the city. Our work for Trent Construction shows how we turn what a specialist does on site into clear pages that buyers can follow.

Jewellery Quarter makers. Jewellers, designers and small workshops selling to people who care about craft. We took an independent fine jeweller from creative routes to a refreshed identity, a Shopify store, Klaviyo email and animations of the pieces.

Scale-ups. Firms that have outgrown the website they launched with and the spreadsheet they track leads in. That's where your own CRM earns its keep: your stages, your words, no per-seat licence fees.

Birmingham has plenty of agencies, and some of them are very good. A bigger one brings more people: media buyers, event teams, account managers. If you need a national ad campaign or a stand built at the NEC, that's probably who you want, and we'll tell you so.

What you get from us is different. The two people you meet are the two people who do the work. Gav has led design and marketing since 1998, with work for Nike, HERE Technologies and Shell. Monika brings 15 years in digital brand and content. No account managers, no hand-offs, and no junior picking up your brief after the pitch.

We don't pay city-centre rent, and our prices are on the website, because hiding them is daft. We're not a Birmingham agency and we won't pretend to be. We're 40 minutes up the road and happy to drive.

Search for a web designer or a solicitor in Birmingham and you'll get pages of agencies and directories. More and more buyers skip that and ask ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview who to use instead.

Our SEO and AI search work is built for that: the questions your buyers really ask, technical and schema fixes, and pages that answer them in plain English. For Ansons Law, a Midlands law firm, visitors from ChatGPT became enquiries at 10.3% over 90 days, against 0.78% from organic search.

Want to know where you stand first? Our free AI check asks an AI assistant with live web search who it recommends for your trade in Birmingham, reads your homepage the way it does, and gives you a score and three fixes.

Every price is on our prices page. Launchpad starts from £4,950: brand identity, a 5-page website, your own CRM set up for how you work, forms, social set-up and 30 days of support. Launchpad Pro starts from £9,500: up to 10 pages, copywriting, email with welcome and nurture flows, and 60 days of support. The Growth Retainer starts from £2,000 a month for ongoing marketing, with a 3-month minimum.

Starting smaller is fine. A brand identity starts from £1,500, a website from £3,000, and an AI search visibility audit is £750 fixed. All our prices are for businesses and exclude VAT, which we add at 20%.

It starts with a 20-minute call. If we're a fit, you get a fixed-scope proposal within 48 hours. Then we meet properly, at your place or ours, and get to know the business.

Brand first, then build. Most launches take 4 to 6 weeks from the go-ahead, and Launchpad Pro up to 8 weeks. You see the work as it goes, and you talk to the people making it.

Gav prefers face to face, so we'll come to you: an office on Colmore Row, a kitchen in Digbeth or a workshop in the Jewellery Quarter. Or come out to Dovecote Studio in Hanbury, Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm, by appointment. Parking's easy and the kettle's on.
