Clients: Strafe Creative

Original Brief: Additional blog writer
Company Size: 20-30 employees
Company Location: Nottingham and London, UK
Scope of project: Write weekly blog content to help increase SERP result reach
Achievements for client: Q3 2023 - 100% up on the previous Q for project plan submissions. Organic search saw a 50% growth in conversion paths (meaning content led to submissions). Blogs I've written appear in the top 10 site pages viewed across the Q.

That meant “tone of voice” (TOV) had to go much further than brand considerations and include their unique perspective on UX and SaaS.

Target audience: Clients, obviously, but also the next generation of budding UX designers.

I loved every minute!

While working with Ross and his marketing manager Sarah, we established pillar content and topic clusters that increased the right kind of traffic. I contributed my experience and learnings to help mould ideas into strategy, including keyword gap analysis and blog audits.

As a result, Strafe saw new leads coming forward directly from SERP results that we started ranking higher for. Leads told us that

Our stats were up too!
