Marketing consultancy locates to the North East BIC following recent client wins
A marketing and business development consultancy which was launched during the height of the Covid pandemic has taken up co-working space at the North East BIC following a raft of new client wins.
Riverside Marketing Solutions, who recently celebrated their 4th year anniversary is headed up by owner Nicola Halse. They provide services including social media management, marketing strategies & implementation, business development support and LinkedIn training sessions to sole traders and small businesses across the north east.
Following an increase in demand for their marketing services, Nicola decided to relocate to the BIC, enabling her to take advantage of the accessible co-working areas, spacious meeting rooms and tap into their friendly community.
The BIC, which recently celebrated their 30th anniversary in the city, has helped over 4,000 people set up businesses and created over 7,500 jobs, they continually reinvest the money they make into launching new services and facilities to ensure the region’s businesses and entrepreneurs have the tools they need.
Delighted with the move, Nicola commented, “Riverside Marketing has grown year on year since I launched the business in April 2020, working with a variety of industries including engineering, logistics, HR and IT sectors, I’ve found that the flexibility of my services is appealing to companies as many sole traders and SME’s are reluctant to tie into long term contracts with agencies.
“Having worked for SME’s throughout my career, I know it can be a daunting prospect to sign a three, six or twelve month marketing contract when you’re not sure if you’re going to get a return on the investment. With my flexible rolling month on month model, businesses can use my services for as long or as short as they need to, it’s ideal for companies that are in-between marketing or social media managers or simply want to dip their toe into the marketing world.
“The developments which are taking place in Sunderland at the moment are huge and with many opportunities for businesses across the region, I thought now was the time to take the plunge.
“I’ve always been an admirer of the BIC and the work they do in supporting businesses in the area, I’ll now not only be able to make use of the brilliant facilities but will also receive support from their business advisers, as well as have the opportunity to network with fellow co-workers at their regular get-together events and take advantage of a lovely riverside walk at lunch time!”
