Challenge
After leaving an established interior design agency to start his own business, Andrew sought to establish his identity in the market. Confident in his design expertise, he recognised the need for external support to manage the digital aspects of his business, including branding, website creation, and social media marketing.
Andrew’s goals were clear:
- Create a strong brand identity.
- Build a professional website showcasing his portfolio.
- Establish and manage social media channels to promote his work.
- Streamline business processes, including custom email addresses and Google optimisation.
Above all, Andrew needed a reliable, dedicated partner who could respond quickly to his needs and offer ongoing support.
Results
The results speak for themselves:
- Website Traffic Growth: Monthly traffic has steadily increased, starting from zero to achieving over 140 unique visitors per month within the first six months.
- Enhanced Online Visibility: Organic search accounts for 40% of the new traffic, indicating strong optimisation efforts.
- Social Media Engagement: Andrew’s new social media channels gained 300 followers collectively in the first year Engagement rates on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram average 24%, well above the industry standard of ~2%.
- Customer Inquiries and Leads: Direct customer inquiries through the website have increased by 150% compared to before the digital transformation.
- Conversion Rate: The streamlined website and targeted social media strategies have resulted in a lead-to-client, far surpassing typical rates for small interior design firms.
- Client Portfolio Expansion: Andrew’s portfolio has grown significantly, adding portfolios for over 10 new projects yearly in key sectors such as retail, care homes, and garden centres since adopting his new digital strategy.

The approach focused on building a long-term partnership, delivering personalised support, and providing a niche solution unavailable from traditional agencies.
