Social Media Survey

Posted on: Wednesday 23 June 2010

Aim is to get some really valuable data on who is and who isn’t using Social Media for their businesses

People that fill it in will be amongst good company with the likes of Devon and Cornwall Police, SW Water and even Microsoft already having filled it in!

 Please remember it’s as relevant to businesses that aren’t using SM as those that are.

Once all data has been collated a national document which can be used by marketing departments and agencies up and down the country will be produced.

2 Business Network member companies are in South West Top 100 Creative Companies.

Matthew Fairweather

74th overall and are the 15th Design Agency in the South West.

Oliver Moore - Client Services Director - gave an example of their work....

"The phone visor we developed for Orange has gone all over the net – might be something to mention, as Orange are running competitions to win them and everyone on my table got one yesterday.  If you google ‘Orange Phone Visor’ you’ll see it come up" 

Optix Solutions

87th overall

With business up 25% last year, it is no wonder that this small digital agency has crashed the Top 100. But it has had to battle for its contracts: head-to-head pitching against 10 other companies for its largest project, the rebranding and online presence of staple Devonshire charities Air Ambulance and the Wildlife Trust.

“Winning these commissions was an incredibly proud moment for all the team”, said MD Alastair Banks. On top of this, Optix has also worked closely with South West law firm Ashfords on online systems and branding.
