Each of The Digital Advice team has decades of experience in their specialist field.

We work across multiple sectors with specialisms including:

  • Finance and Investment

  • Manufacturing

  • Digital

  • Marketing

  • Hospitality

  • Sales

  • Leadership

  • Workplace Wellbeing

During the pandemic, it became apparent that digital growth was needed to help businesses survive. Working with local authorities, we ran a pilot digital economic development scheme, this was the beginning of The Digital Advice Service.

The service proved extremely popular and helped over 100 enterprises to assess their current digital state of play and work on an effective growth strategy. We learnt so much and witnessed some very fixable technical issues; we all knew we had to take the service even further.

 
 

Buying digital services is not regulated in the UK. This means that anybody can sell to anyone, at any time. On one level this freedom is amazing and, on another, it is quite dangerous. We are the experts who look at where your business is today, and help your business have a brighter tomorrow.
- Sam Parnell, Digital Strategist

 

The pilot Digital Advice Service offered:

  1. Diagnostic SEO report

  2. Action Plan

  3. Follow up session with specialist digital business coach to work on your strategy

  4. 20 Digital Talks from trusted experts

This initial version was very well received by all stakeholders, but especially the cohort of businesses looking to establish their competitive advantage. As a team, we were impressed at the variety of business concepts. We started to explore what types of pathways different businesses would need to help them understand their current online assets, and how to use digital tools to help them flourish.

The Digital Advice team has adapted the services to offer different types of packages. We have also developed an on boarding process, which allows a company to make the choices for themselves. From mature organisations, looking to understand their data and develop onward growth, to startups looking to build a brand, create a strategy and win funding, our team can help.

 
 

We continue to work in collaboration with the excellent coaches at BGCN, plus we work with other coaching companies. The work we do matters to Great Britain plc, and is about our country thriving.

Teaching digital in byte-sized pieces.

 

Business owners are extremely skilled in their specialism, but that does not always extend to some of the essential skills needed to run a company. This can be doubly true when it comes to using digital tools. Our team have decades of experience in coaching and training. We have developed a style which starts with building digital confidence, adds context for different sectors, and uses simple terminology.
