Marketing can be expensive and that is why it’s important to ensure that every pound spent generates the right results for your business.
Compared to other media channels, online channels are cheaper, quicker and can be specifically tailored for your target audience.
As online advertising activity can be tracked and measured, it is very easy to understand the effectiveness of your campaigns and determine which messages and offers get the best results.
As with any type of advertising, there are a number of ways of approaching online marketing, each with their own advantages and pitfalls. Online Marketing includes:
• Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
• Social Media
• E-marketing
In order to meet your business objectives, it is important to determine which of these digital marketing tools will give your business maximum impact.
With over 20 years' marketing experience including many years of online advertising, we are perfectly placed to guide you and ensure you achieve maximum impact with even the tightest of budgets.

Cedar Court Grand
Following a multi-million pound renovation, the Cedar Court Hotel York welcomed guests through its doors in Spring 2010. As the only 5 star luxury hotel in the ancient city walls of York, this spectacular hotel offers the discerning traveller outstanding service and exceptional facilities.
As one of the UK’s historic cities, York draws interest from travellers all over the world as well as visitors from the UK. To engage with a worldwide clientele a powerful online footprint is critical and the website has to rival the 5 star interior and service this internationally branded hotel offers.
The website delivers an unparalleled visitor experience with strong attention to detail to facilitate ease of use and clear calls to action. An integrated booking system, search engine optimisation and strong alignment to the hotel’s brand supports the positioning as the leading hotel in York.
The Light
As Manchester’s first Conran-designed Boutique Aparthotel, The Light has commanded considerable attention from both its industry peers as well as the paying guests. As the coolest Manchester address to stay at and hang out, the presence of the brand in reaching its target market is key to making the hotel the success it is today.
Drawing together brand expertise, online and offline marketing tactics, Flint has positioned the Light as Manchester’s hippest hotel to stay and be seen at. A unique market presence differentiates the Light and anchors the various online marketing activities and delivers a highly powerful information magnet to support the hotel’s ongoing success.
Charterhouse Lombard
With a range of newly developed services ready to launch, this leading offshore company wanted a stronger online presence with a website that engaged and appealed to worldwide professional advisers and their clients. Message and Brand cohesion fused with clear and striking layout form the cornerstone of the delivered website and associated branded marketing material. Online and Offline collateral reinforce the brand as a trusted and knowledgeable business partner.
Isle of Man Finance
Attracting the attention of an international audience of fund managers, administrators and lawyers is no easy task, particularly when it is in the depths of a recession. It was the challenge facing the Isle of Man Fund Managers Association in partnership with Isle of Man Finance who engaged Flint to generate interest in their conference, “The offshore debate – the future of funds” in London.
Flint developed a brand led theme and delivered a highly effective and dynamic eMarketing Campaign, which generated three times the level of registrations expected and provided our clients with real time information to maximise the engagement with their audience ahead of the conference at which specific key messages were communicated via motion graphics and POS.
Woo
Engaged as the creative agency to create and deliver the brand across all media platforms, Flint was tasked to be the custodian of something that will be very special in the International online booking industry. That’s all we can say for now ----wootch this space!
Principal Contractors
Communicating a strong corporate personality was the underlying aim of the brief given to Flint by Principal Contractors. With online promotion a key component of the sales strategy going forward, the existing corporate ID and associated marketing materials were ineffective for today's self-employed, time-poor workforce. Flint re-energised the brand with a fresh and flexible ID that works both online and offline to harness the power of the services offered through the company. The full suite of marketing support was delivered, which included ID, website, brochures, flyers and stationery within a tight timescale and to budget.
IOM Government – Aerospace Cluster
The Farnborough Airshow is the largest aerospace industry event in the world. With nearly 1500 exhibitors, IOMAC was competing for footfall amongst the industry's heavyweights. Flint was engaged to provide a 3-minute media sting broadcasting the island's manufacturing heritage and excellence.
Creechurch Capital
Founded on traditional core values but deployed with the latest best business practices, Creechurch Capital sweeps in a new era for the investment management industry. The Team at Creechurch are experienced and talented professionals who are passionate about the service they provide to their clients and have a strong and creditable record within the industry. Developing a brand that would reflect and demonstrate the strength of their credentials was the challenge they laid down for Flint to accomplish.
Their plush office premises and its connection to the artist Archibald Knox, provided the inspiration for the corporate ID that was used across the marketing collateral and supported the launch of the company. The strength of the organisation was articulated in the execution of the printed material and the use of materials and finishes created a high quality brochure that is worthy of sitting on a coffee table in the finest Mayfair Drawing Room. Our deliverables for this job included:
Corporate ID
Brochure
Business Stationery
Valuations Folder
Tender Folder
Website
MBL Financial
From the initial meeting with our client it was clear from the enthusiasm and vigour around the table that the merger was being welcomed. The fusing of the two established brands of Morris Brokers and CFS Financial Services needed to deliver a cohesive brand image that embraced the passion and energy within the firm with modern day financial planning that delivers impartial and reliable advice to clients. Our brief required us to consider the full plethora of marketing collateral including material for their launch party on 17th September 2010.
IoM Ship Registry
Quality is key to the Isle of Man, where its reputation as a high quality jurisdiction makes the Isle of Man Ship Registry the flag of choice for todays modern maritime business. The Registry competes with those in other jurisdictions and attendance at this year's Monaco Boat Show provides the platform for the Registry to showcase what it can achieve at the World's most prestigious yachting show. The Registry approached Flint to produce a 3 minute video sting that would capture the attention of visitors to their stand and represent the credentials of the Registry.
3 minute Sting
