How did we come up with our brand values?
We sat down as a team with a stack of Post-it notes each and a pen. The idea was to write down a word that felt true to US. A word that represents what is important to each of us, our clients and the business. The result was a lot of words on Post-it notes. From this, we dug deeper into what those words meant, each taking a turn to tell the rest of the team if there was a story associated with it. Likewise, if there wasn’t a story but we felt it would be a story we wanted to create. From this we made the beautiful graphic you see here.
Charity:
Take Off
Why do we work with this charity?
For a long time, Lydia, our Director has wanted to give back and working with a charity has been top of the list. We sat down as a team to review charities that we felt an affinity with and felt we could help to make a difference to.
Take Off felt right. For their efforts in helping Kent people with their mental health. Also, we could tell they needed some help to stand out amongst some big names in their field.
Since then, we have worked with them to sort out their strategy, clean up their act on social media and currently we are working on a campaign to get more local businesses to engage with them to raise awareness, profile and donations. Check it out here.
Environment:
We host websites for many of our clients and those we have developed websites for. We do this as environmentally friendly as we can. Our hosting provider employs renewable energy sources to energise their data centers and facilities. This entails utilising electricity derived from naturally replenished resources, including sunlight, wind and rain.
University of Kent:
We have been a partner of University of Kent’s Employability Points scheme for over 4 years now. Each year we have an intern for the summer period to experience what it is like to work for I Do Marketing.
The calibre of candidates is always outstanding. Sharing our knowledge with them feels like a great exchange as we always look forward to seeing what these university students can bring to the organisation too.
We have hosted many talks at local universities, colleges and schools to share our knowledge and inspire the younger generations to have a career in marketing. We are also very proud to have graduated our own apprentice to a marketing role. Mya, passed her digital marketing apprenticeship with a distinction.
Period Leave
In 2022, we introduce period leave to enable our team to take the time as needed each month.
Networking
We are great networkers and connectors. “Your network is your net worth”. Have you heard this before? For us, to be able to find great businesses and connect them with others is what we are all about. You’ll find us on the networking circuit locally because we love to spread the word about what we do, and networking is a great opportunity to do this. We enjoy meeting new people, and to help facilitate this, we run a monthly networking event at our offices in Canterbury. Join us next month:
Our business associations and affiliations are very important to us to demonstrate our experience, knowledge and professionalism. The below provide directory information for others to find us:
