Well we’ve done it! Talent Within You has been officially launched and Todd Carty is also our very first patron.

Talent Within You is a charitable organisation set up to find talent within children, then we nurture and develop that talent and take it to the next level via sponsorship from businesses.

Talent Within You is a national organisation, but we have launched it in Worthing as Vicky and her friend and co-founder, Mike Pisko, both live in Worthing. Our first child with talent is Jack Ford, and we gave him lots of PR coverage, via press and radio. Plus we organised Todd Carty to come and dance-on-ice once again with Jack.

We are now looking for businesses to come on board and sponsor Jack and other children like him. We are very grateful to these businesses who have kindly sponsored Jack’s development: Worthing Borough Council, Worthing Town Centre Initiative, The Chatworth Hotel, Face Media Group, CAM Central, and of course of the staff at The Brand Surgery who have helped to launch this worthwhile charity.

If you can’t wait to see our new website, and are desperate to help fund Jack and his parents with his training, or to help another child with talent, please make a cheque payable to Talent Within You, and post to us at Talent Within You Donations, 23 Harrow Road, Worthing, West Sussex BN11 4RB.

Or you can click the donate button below.

To take this organisation to market, we,  The Brand Surgery – branding and website agency based in West Sussex – have used our extensive range of in-house marketing services to:

• Write effective press releases which successfully gave Jack prominent local press coverage;
• We are raising funds via sponsorship arrangements to help take Jack to the next level;
• We designed the Talent Within You logo, leaflet, stationery, banners and other marketing collateral;
• We have liaised with celebrity agencies to help get Todd Carty and other celebrities on board;
• We have designed and developed a simple website holding page while the main website is being worked on;
• We are in the process of designing a CMS website for Talent Within You which will include: website optimisation for good SEO (get good Google and other search engine presence); data capture form; payment gateway to raise funds for our charity; effective copywriting to help promote our children with talent; funky design to engage with our target market; blog and latest news section to promote our children with talent;
• We are liaising with organisations across the UK to find more children with talent;
• We will be using our emarketing expertise and will be sending out regular eshots to promote Talent Within You.

Brand New Wish Financial website

As a new year begins, a brand new website is launched for our client, Wish Financial. Wish Financial approached us in Autumn 2009 and briefed us to design a sleek, contemporary, fresh corporate website, keeping to Wish’s existing corporate identity. Wish’s brand colour is a rich purple – purple is a great business colour because of the colour psychology connected with it. Purple represents royalty and wealth. It is also a spiritual colour, so needs to be used wisely to ensure it compliments the industry it is presenting, in this case finance.

Wish specialise in the following areas:

• Mortgages
• General Insurance
• Commercial Solutions
• Personal Protection
• Savings & Investments
• Retirement Planning

Wish have over 30 years of collective experience in financial planning and it was this experience we feel we successful incorporated within the website design. We have also designed Wish’s corporate brochure, estate agent leaflet and posters, which have all been signed off and are being printed as we speak. The marketing collateral we have designed reflects Wish’s website branding, creating a strong and memorable corporate identity.

Why not use the new year as an excuse to refresh your website and brochure. Give us a call on 01903  824229 to see what we can do for you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here is a testimonial letter from our client, Robb Harris, Astute Investment Planning!

Dear Vicky

The invitations for Benn’s party were just perfect. On a business note, I would like to say that I have received a number of compliments regarding my stationery. I have been told that the branding looks extremely professional, fresh, modern and striking. I would have no question in recommending your services to anyone who is seeking either a rebrand or a start up.
Kind regards
Robb Harris

The Brand Surgery meets Todd Carty

Todd Carty is a good example of how one can adapt oneself to attract a particular target audience. From a heart throb in “Grange Hill”, to a 13-year stint as Mark Fowler in “EastEnders”, to a dodgy copper PC Gabriel Kent in ITV’s “The Bill”, to ice skating spectacular in “Dancing on Ice”. In between, Todd Carty has worked on radio, stage and has been directing and producing programmes such as “Doctors” and “The Perfect Burger”.

Does your company branding appeal to both ends of the spectrum?

Is your company branding as flexible as Todd Carty? Depending on your company’s services and products, it may need to appeal to a wide range of demographics. Take a theatre producing its bi-annual theatre programme or website: The design would need to appeal to customers wanting to see a Shakespeare performance through to the latest comedy – perhaps Eddie Izzard. Some people may want to see both! How do you know what design and wording appeals to your customers? Simple. It’s called research.

If you don’t have time to do the research, then leave it to us. Before our brand doctors and nurses even start on writing copy, designing brochures or corporate identity – we spend time looking at your competition and studying your target market, so you know that your marketing collateral will tick the boxes, and achieve sales.

If you would like to find out more about your target market and competitor research, call us on 01903  824229.

We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded the Best Business Marketing and Promotion Award in the 2009 Worthing Business Awards. We have so many people to thank: Firstly, we thank everyone that nominated us in this category, we are really chuffed. Secondly, Arundel Trophy and Engraving Centre who kindly sponsored this award. We thank all the organisers of this year’s business awards – they were spectacular and Fred Dinenage was very funny when presenting our award. Finally, thank you to all my friends and family for supporting me during these testing times.

Our Marketing Philosophy

This has been a tough year for many businesses and this prestigious award has really strengthened our belief in the old but excellent philosophy of Givers Gain. Our tried-and-tested formula to marketing is HONESTY and HELPING OTHERS. We help businesses and we put ourselves in their shoes. We believe that using honesty when helping our clients with their marketing and promotions automatically raises our profile. This is perfect marketing! Clients we have helped have passed our name to businesses that want to grow and need marketing help.

We have advised all of our clients that good marketing and promotions is key to standing out, especially when the economy is tough. Customers are going to buy from businesses that look professional, well-known and trusted. All of our customers that have taken our marketing advice are thriving through the recession. We advise them to invest what they can afford, and ask the question: Can they afford not to invest? We are honest and independent, and if we think a client should invest either in radio advertising or telephone canvassing or a
PR stunt, then that is what we recommend.

Charity Events and Organic PR

The Brand Surgery have always re-invested their profits back into self-marketing and promotions – albeit in the form of corporate sponsorship (we design graphics pro bono for the End of the Pier Film Festival), or by the boss throwing herself off Worthing Pier in Worthing International Birdman (for charity and in turn good PR).

We have also created stunning exhibition graphic design which has won us ‘Best Stand’ at business exhibitions, this in turn has secured us some large business deals. Perfect marketing!

We believe that we need to lead by example. Everything we advise our clients to do, we do for ourselves. In fact we test all of our advice out on The Brand Surgery before we let loose on our clients – from customer care to the envelopes we post our marketing packs in – marketing and promoting oneself – give as you would like to receive is our motto for marketing success.

If you would like to discuss how our award-winning marketing and promotions services could benefit your business, please call us on 01903 824229 or email vicky@thebrandsurgery.co.uk.
