Are you on top of your online presence or underperforming and feeling overwhelmed?


How do brands thrive in their digital habitat? - Fiona Dinning-Cole, Web Content Manager at Grouptrader talks to Jungle-media.com


In our second of the series of Member spotlight profiles, I talk to Howard Jones, Director at Jungle Media - a digital agency specialising in Search Marketing. I wanted Howard to shine a light on his industry as well as give his professional view of two Grouptrader products that his company recommends to clients.

What is Search Marketing?

You may or may not be familiar with the term ‘Search Marketing’ if not, it is very likely that in time you will be if you don’t want to risk your business missing out on making the best from being online. But what exactly is it and why is it relevant to businesses within the Grouptrader network?



Whether you’ve been taking an active role with your online activity or are just starting to wonder how social tools can apply to you or your business, the ways in which people are interacting online are growing almost exponentially. From the devices we use such as computers, tablets, laptops and mobiles to the options by which a business can position itself online, SEO, PPC, Display, Social Media etc. how do you decide what’s best for you?

It's a jungle out there

Jungle Media have been creating innovative internet marketing strategies since 2007 and put their success down to helping companies thrive rather than just survive in this ever-changing digital landscape.  Says Howard, “We'll never ambush clients with jargon, we simply create a digital marketing strategy that delivers on results. These results can mean higher search engine rankings, increased website traffic and improved conversions.” 
Howard continues, “We work seamlessly as part of our clients team, sharing their objectives and being ruthlessly single minded about what we’re trying to achieve.  We deliver clear, hard evidence about the work we complete and its effect on the clients bottom-line.”

As part of this advice Howard and his team provide some really useful and interesting blogs which are definitely worth a read. They can be found on the Jungle website at http://jungle-media.com.

Since joining the Grouptrader Network, Jungle have been assisting businesses to put in place measures and systems that improve online business performance.  Two products receiving positive reviews are The Virtual Receptionist and Digital Audit.




The Virtual Receptionist (Annie)  is a 24hour service which is easily installed and helps to increase the leads a  website generates by up to 64%.  Says Howard, “We have just taken a call from a client who began using Annie a few weeks ago and already he has taking an order that he would have missed without her.  Annie has paid for herself, the client is thrilled.”



The Digital Audit is a bespoke website audit, highlighting recommended actions and quick fixes needed to maximise a websites visibility and reach online.  Howard says, “One of the best parts of this audit, from a customer’s point of view, is the ability to receive an insight into their competitor's performance.  It can provide for very interesting reading. This audit is a great tool to understanding how your website is performing for you.  From here we can develop a strategy to put the measures in place to make great improvements. Often these aren’t big costly things but logical and effective steps to really make a difference.”

So there we have it folks, a brief dip into the world of online marketing kindly provided by industry experts Jungle-Media.  If, like me,  you feel the future is rushing towards you and you really would like to be in a position to welcome it and make the most of all it as to offer, you might want to pick up the phone and talk to top banana Howard or one of his bunch.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun!
