Welcome to the first installment of our monthly round-ups at Media Street. Celebrating all things marketing, website design, new clients and our staff achievements (both in and out of the office!). Although most of our time in the office is to ensure our client’s online performance excels month after month, year after year. But it’s also important to us to highlight what goes on behind the scenes of Media Street, for all to see!
First established in 2009, the company and team has gone from strength to strength. From our MD, Charlie, working away in his bedroom, to now a team of 12 employees (and many work experience students joining us throughout the year), Media Street is reaping the rewards of a bright and enthusiastic team who continue to strive in all areas of digital.
Without further ado, let’s dig in to what has been happening recently at Media Street!
We recently retained our Google Partner status for the 15th year, with our marketing staff members sitting the exams and gaining certifications in Google Ads search, display and video. So, if you’re looking for an expert PPC agency in Exeter to look after your paid advertising efforts, our team are ready to propel your visibility in search. What’s more, when you join us for paid advertising with Google, we are able to give you a discount on your first three months of advertising. Currently, we are able to offer up to £400 off your advertising budget – so if you’re looking to invest in your company, come and talk to us and see how we can help.
Ellie (marketing), Becky (web design) and Marianne (marketing) all celebrated their first year at Media Street in December, with Rebekah smiling into her 2nd year! They’ve come a long way since then, and continue to learn and grow every day to achieve client goals.
We also had a cheer to both Matt (marketing) and Josh (accounts) who passed their probations towards the end of last year.
January is always a busy time for businesses and that isn’t any different for the Media Street team! In the first couple of weeks of January we have had the pleasure of catching up with several of our clients, both in and out of the office. Rebekah has led on multiple of these, including seeing our long-standing clients, Rhino Play (Schoolscapes and Fuscina) in Newton Abbot, and also our lovely clients at The Levels Financial with Grace. South View Lodges is always a lovely location to visit – thank you to Jill and Andrew for hosting Ellie and Rebekah!
We’ve also had the pleasure of welcoming in Richard from Crashbox Classic Car Club to make a start on this year’s annual Historic Vehicle Gathering plans at Powderham Castle (it’s a must visit). As well as the chaps from Datel Electrical who are always fun to meet with.
December and January have been busy months for the web design team, with new websites launching left, right and centre! It’s been fantastic to see designs come into fruition and some very happy clients! We’ve had the pleasure of working on some fantastic projects, from complete brand refreshes to updating new websites for businesses both local clients and those further afield, including:
We’ve been impressed with the attitude and enthusiasm of the work experience students we have had come to us over the past year and it’s been great to have a different dynamic in the office! Well done to Jacob (Exeter College) and James (Newton Abbot College) who have joined Faye in the website design team and we look forward to hopefully seeing James take on a permanent role with Media Street in the near future.
2023 was the first year our team decided to take the plunge and exhibit at the Southwest Business Expo at Westpoint, Exeter. We loved it so much that we are returning for our second year in 2024! Make sure to come and chat with us if you’re there – it was great to see familiar faces last year, so we hope to see plenty more in April (18th).
Our marketing and website design departments have also been venturing across the country to take part in the Brighton SEO conference, held in Brighton. The three day event is a digital extravanagza and opens up a world of insights that always leave our team buzzing to try when they get back into the office. The next event is in May, so keep your eyes peeled on our socials to see what the next trip entails!
