We are extremely pleased to have recently been appointed to re-brand and launch the new Eventing Worldwide online magazine, a website dedicated to the Eventing sport. We worked with the EWW team to re-design the site after the company was purchased from the previous owner. We then undertook a campaign of on-line marketing to get the message out there that Eventing Worldwide was back, bigger and better than before, with loads of great new features, writers and offers. The first couple of weeks have been superb with over 10,000 views a week and two great competitions under their belts. Coverage of the superb Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials and Fidelity Blenheim International Horse Trials was well reported on the site by the team of roving writers. The next few months is set to be an exciting time for the EWW team. www.eventingworldwide.com

At times, throwing together an entire email marketing campaign can seem daunting. How does one even know where to begin? Well, the best place to start is by learning. Once you know the simple 5-step process for fail-proof permission-based email marketing you have the road map that you need to simplify the email marketing process and execute successful campaigns.

Step 1:

Begin by using permission-based email software (such as iContact) that allows you to easily create newsletters, automatically manage subscribes, unsubscribes, and bounces, and view reporting statistics like opens and click-throughs.

Step 2:


Decide on the type and frequency of the email communications you will be sending. We recommend sending at least one newsletter per month. You can send multiple newsletters if you sell different types of products. You can also send promotional messages offering a discount or a coupon for a product or service.

Step 3:


Add a sign-up form to your website so you can start collecting subscribers and import any existing lists of subscribers that have already requested your communications. It is generally also safe to import the names of anyone who has done business with you in the past year, provided you will be sending content relevant to what they purchased.

Step 4:


Choose a good email template by using the templates provided within the email software, having your in-house team create one, or by using the custom design services of your marketing company. iContact for example, provides over 300 design templates within the software that can be used free of charge, and we you can also develop custom templates.

Step 5:


Develop relevant and high-quality content for your newsletter or message, and send it out to your list. Continue sending your newsletters, announcements, or promotions with consistent frequency. As your list grows, you will notice increased traffic (and where relevant, increased sales) on the day of and the days following an email send.

Earlier this year we were pleased to be appointed by Scotland based Caledonia Green Innovation (CGI) to help brand their company and launch their unique range of products to the Cleantech market.

CGI is a centre of design excellence and specialist manufacturing for new renewable energy technologies, headquartered in Caithness. CGI develops and manufactures its own proprietary technologies and also lends its expertise to help others bring their ideas into fruition, through design, manufacture and testing in Scotland’s energy-rich natural environment. The flagship products are the Sycamore Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and the Nymph Hydro Electric Unit.

Both products stole the show when we launched the company and range at the All-Energy conference in Aberbeen in May this year.

MD Steve Drummond said “Clive and his team were my first choice when I needed help to brand this new venture. Westbrook’s experience in this sector is extensive and they really understand how to approach the market and clientele. We look forward to working closely with Clive and his team over the next months to take the company and its products international.”
