Growing a business takes insight, drive and expertise – along with thorough planning. At GWCM, our marketing strategy services are driven by collaboration and insight, whether we’re using focus groups or segmentation, Big Data or omnichannel retailing. By current estimates, around one-third of global wealth can be attributed to brands, with that number expected to rise to 50% by 2050.
Acting on the data
We consistently deliver powerful, lead-generating and engagement-driven campaigns that open doors to new territories, customers and opportunity. We do this by asking difficult questions and mapping a vision for the future. We don’t stop at planning either – throughout any project we track, measure and run a full analysis to make sure it achieves all it set out to do, and respond to any lessons learned, ready for your next campaign.
Every marketing campaign or digital solution must deliver effective results. In-depth user experience modelling, customer profiling, consumer journey mapping and persona development will make a difference to your marketing plans. Our team consists of talented in-house experts that will work closely with you building trusted relationships and partnerships, developing core marketing strategies that meet deadlines and exceed targets.
Brands we’ve brought to life
During World Alzheimer’s Month, we helped, Olympus Care Services, raise awareness of dementia. We developed a strategic plan and communications for social media platforms, which included a ‘tweet sheet’ guide and a series of digital banners, each focusing on a different aspect of dementia. Online, offline and outdoor channels were utilised to drive user interaction and boost awareness of Olympus Care. The campaign gained 2,650 post engagements in total and social audiences increased by 15% as a result during the short campaign.
For higher education provider GSM London, our challenge was to grow intake by 3,500 students, across both their London campuses. Our strategy was based around ‘distinctive and changing lives’. We created top benefit messaging, individual personas and an overarching brand positioning for 3 different intakes of students. The campaign captured urban London in and really resonated with a diverse target audience and successfully drove leads and admissions.
GWCM researched the user experience for the development of MyVoice, a one-of-a-kind interactive tool for victims and witnesses of crime, with the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner. It was imperative that the strategy was sensitively realised and considered, we orchestrated a specialist team consisting of members from Voice, a victim liaison service, a former police sergeant and individuals affected by crime to curate the information needed to develop the tone.

We worked closely with the team to create short and snappy animations that were different to anything we had created before. The whole process was smooth and the team extremely professional. They were particularly supportive when we had to completely change our brief! I would definitely recommend GWCM and hope to work with them again in the future.

Have been working with GWCM for a couple of years since they created a brilliant new identity for us. It's made a huge difference and helped us grow the company. Plus creating new materials is always hassle free. Nina is a pleasure to work with - calm and collected, even under pressure. She translates the briefs into designs so well with her creative vision that there's often only minor tinkering needed to get a final draft. Saves so much time! I've worked with many designers over the years and Nina's a gem!

We needed our public health annual report designed in a digital format in a short space of time, to a high standard. Not only did Gavin Willis say they could do the job, they met the deadline to a very high standard. After the initial contact, Gavin and Nina came to meet us the same day presenting some examples of their work and to gain an understanding of what we required. Throughout the process, Nina, the designer was in regular contact with updates about progress and expected draft deadlines. The communication was excellent and the standard of work was exceptional. We have since asked for hard copies of the report which have also been produced to a very high standard.After this initial piece of work, we worked closely with Gavin Willis, Nina in particular, to create assets for social media, outdoor advertising, digital screens, bus adverts and varying other channels during the pandemic to create public information. Each time, it was like Nina read my mind and turned my thoughts into reality, she was a pleasure to work with, prompt, a great communicator and with good attention to detail.The whole team are friendly, professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Gavin Willis.read more
