Is St Matthews The New Covent Garden?!

Last week I visited a free seminar run by Further Search Marketing.  Mark Cook and Brian Bush presented one hours worth of invaluable advice and insight explaining just how to get your web-site higher and higher up those valuable search rankings.  I think its is always very impressive when you key something into Google and the perfect solution appears at the top of the list, with a nice map, and a few quick links to the most important pages within the site.  Something for me to aim for I think!

 

During the presentation it became clear to me just how many of the best new media companies with a national or international presence are choosing to operate out of Norwich.  Not only is Norwich is able to offer lower overheads and a better work life balance, it is able to boast a direct train service to London in less than two hours, a direct train service to Cambridge in one and a quarter hours, and has an international airport with connections to Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Switzerland.

 

In Norwich we have some international experts working right on our doorstep – Silvertap are a leading bespoke Affiliate Marketing Network with customers as large as Tesco, DHL, Alliance & Leicester, and Cornhill Direct Insurance.  Nearby you have Soup, a specialist Digital Agency with clients that include Jordan’s Cereal, FujiFilm, and Howies.  Foolproof have also taken offices in Norwich.  These guys specialise in helping you sell more on-line by strengthening the on-line experience and making the proposition as strong as possible.  With all this so close by, it is no wonder that some of the best on-line businesses from Virgin Wines to Moneyfacts base there operations in Norwich.

 

I don’t think you often hear or read much about the vibrant creative industry that operates in Norwich, but it is another example of a group of companies and like minded individuals who focus on high quality best practise solutions, great customer service and value, and still find time to enjoy our beaches at the weekend!!  Long may it continue.
