Marketing
Coverage, clicks, conversion and more? Motivate your customers to become advocates! Utilising traditional and digital channels conduct a marketing campaign to deliver results. This is a careful, planned communication between a business and its consumers and will typically occur integrated with public relations activities. Small businesses quite frequently have a limited budget and we are experienced in gaining maximum exposure with modest budgets.
Websites
Your online shop window to engage, entice and convert! Websites are at the heart of successful digital marketing. It is where clients – both new and existing – can find and view your products or services and, hopefully, engage and purchase them. People are at the heart of what we do which is why user experience is placed at the centre of website design and development – whilst creating engaging and effective visuals to enhance and promote your brand.

Claire of Forge PR worked over and above what we could have hoped for on our behalf, to pull together all the sponsors required and to insure all aspects of our event ran smoothly, the competition was a huge success and the standing ovation she received at the Gala dinner from competitors and sponsors alike was well and truly earned.
I have commissioned various editorials and content from Claire Brown over a number of years and have always found her to be very thorough, full of ideas, and always aware of the ever-impending deadlines associated with monthly publishing. Claire has always been very reliable and I would not hesitate to work with her again.
Emma Tilley, Features & Advertising Manager, Absolute Horse Magazine
I can definitely state that the service provided was second to none, very professional and that you listened to the requirements that we were after and interpreted them perfectly with regards to all of the adverts, editorials and articles that you have carried out for us. On a personal note, for me – it was great to be guided through and educated on the process with regards to the editorial as I had not had previous experience of this type of advertising before.
Kate, Swan Products
I enjoy working with Claire. She is imaginative and constructive, always coming up with good ideas for her clients. Her writing is clean, accurate and presented in such a way that it needs very little work. And that’s the way to please busy editors! Claire really knows her subject too, so writes with the confidence of an expert.
