Flow Business Support

Background

 

Flow Business Support is a growing consultancy dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses streamline their operations and achieve sustainable growth. I partnered with the founder of Flow to develop a strong brand identity, manage day-to-day marketing activities, and create targeted content to engage its audience across various platforms. My role was pivotal in refining the brand voice, managing social media content, and driving the business development efforts with tailored sales assets.

Challenges

​​

• Establishing a strong brand identity: As a newly established consultancy, Flow Business Support needed a clear brand voice and visual identity to differentiate itself from competitors in the crowded business support market.

• Generating consistent online engagement: With a limited team and resources, the challenge was to maintain a consistent and effective social media presence to attract and engage clients, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram.

• Supporting business development: Flow required tailored sales assets to communicate its value proposition and assist with pitching to prospective clients.

• Enhancing marketing activities: Suggesting and implementing additional marketing efforts that would complement individual campaigns and provide further growth opportunities.
