Right then, so you’ve made your decision. S2F is the right agency for you. What are the next steps, I hear you ask? We’ve developed a very simple staged process to your marketing: the 4 Ds.
We will come to your offices and spend a few hours getting to know you, your business, and the products/services you offer. We’ll discuss your objectives, customers, potential customers, the industry, the message, the correct client personas, and of course, communication.
This discovery session allows us to develop, alongside you and your team, a marketing plan/strategy. This strategy will usually involve planning 6-12 months ahead to ensure we can agree timescales, responsibilities, and measurements.
Once the above are all agreed, we then get into the delivery stage. This could include marketing activities such as web development, email marketing, social media management, video, photography etc. The team will work with you to produce online and offline materials on brand and on message.
Following the marketing plan, we will then start to drive and distribute the marketing messaging through many mediums such as Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, Email, PR etc.
The intention? Drive lead generation, drive sales, and drive awareness. By having robust reporting on all activities, it allows you and S2F to identify key performing activities seeing first-hand what is working well and what can be improved. Ultimately, we want your marketing to achieve your goals.
And once DRIVE is underway, we then roll around to DISCOVER again. Discover activities working well, discover new markets, discover how the marketing has converted to sales.
Since 2005, we have worked successfully with this model for all our clients and hope to incorporate the 4 Ds into your marketing.

If you’re interested in working with S2F on producing a marketing plan for the near or distant future, then give us a call, arrange a Teams meeting or we can simply visit.
We get to know your business first, way before we start looking at branding and the visuals. We usually start off with a strategy session at your location and really get to know you and your business.
We start off with understanding your business goals and targets, and what the effect on your business will be when achieving them. The target audience in our opinion is one of the most valuable areas of marketing and gets overlooked by many a small marketing agency. We want to know who they are, what they do now, and what do you want them to do?
Once we have these nailed, we then will move onto the message. What is your story? Why are you better than the competition? What is your ‘showstopper’?
Then we move onto the communication methods of branding, emails, website, social media, video etc. As we have an experienced inhouse team of marketers, whatever the marketing discipline you need, S2F has the person for the job, and if we don’t, we’ll find one.
What we’ve achieved over the last two days has been nothing short of phenomenal. S2F has been a pleasure to work in partnership with! This has left us all thinking about what comes next in the Nielsen. Thanks again for all of the hard work and support your giving us!
Graham Robertson Head of Sales, Nielsen
I just wanted to say that I think you have done a great job on the website. The photography etc is great giving the right look, feel and overall impression of the company; way beyond anything PMP has had online before. It will be interesting to see what comes from the marketing initiatives I know you are planning to drive prospects to the site.

He mobilised a team to support what turned out to be a very successful event, and we haven’t looked back since. Many thanks to Warren and his excellent team, they feel like an integral part of our company.
