CMV starts 2023 with a bang!

Welcome to our 1st LinkedIn newsletter.

What a busy couple of months we’ve had. It’s hard to believe that it’s already April! It feels like only yesterday we were decking the halls for Christmas. But, as the old saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun – and that’s exactly what we’ve been up to at CM Ventures.

From industry events to exciting new projects, we’re thrilled to share our latest updates with you. Let’s dive in!

January was all about setting targets and planning.

We were busy planning strategies for our clients in terms of social media, content marketing, events, and print for exhibitions, along with plans for the business.

Claire & Ashley attended the?GCA?conference on the 22nd and 23rd of January. Celebrating the best of the best in the UK’s Garden Centres. There were inspirational speakers, industry news talks, exhibitions, and Gala evenings on both nights. It was a full-on event. Being marketing sponsors for the event, we produced a whole raft of items from designing the Best of British Magazine,?Stage Set Graphics, Trophies & Plaques, Programmes, Menus, Roller Banners and Promotional Merchandise.

Then following the garden theme, the Garden Press event took place on the 20th of February in London. Again we produced an array of marketing literature and displays for this event for several of our Garden industry customers. From 3 x 3 Pop Ups, product catalogues, workwear, leaflets and promotional merchandise.

Exhibition ready.

On the 9th February our client?Aggregates R Us?attended the Travis Perkins Exhibition, and what they ended up with was a ‘super duper exhibition stand’, as they very kindly put it. We created the stand graphics, roller banners, flyers and POS for their decorative aggregates stand.

Six is the?magic number.

6 was most certainly the magic number?this quarter, as we took on board six new clients. Ranging from?new website builds,?social media marketing, design &?print?to fully supported monthly marketing plans.

It’s all change at CMV headquarters too. Our offices have had a makeover, and we love it – you need to stop by and say hello and take a look. We’d love to know what you think?

We’ve been growing.

We’ve also been growing our team… we’re pleased to announce our newest team member,?Teddy, who joined us in February as our new Digital Marketing Executive. We’ve been super excited about welcoming Teddy. He’s slotted in so well with the CMV team and is getting his teeth into lots of exciting projects and getting to know our clients.

SEO results?have be growing too.

Results have been on the trajectory too. There have been lots and lots of greens and?‘+’?on our client reports, which is fantastic! On a recent social media campaign we’ve been running, we’ve seen a?+3459%?increase?in reach and a?1200% increase?in engagement. Then in one of our monthly SEO campaigns, we saw?38% month-on-month growth?in organic site visits along with a?62% increase?in website traffic and a?40% increase?in time spent on site.

“Now, these are the types of results we measure our success on”

We’re looking forward to stepping into spring and are super excited about what the next quarter will bring.

As a full-service Design, Print & Digital Creative Marketing agency, we love nothing more than transforming visions into reality be it through some stunning leaflet & brochure designs, an?SEO strategy?that delivers results or a social media presence that portray exactly who you are – we can do it all, it’s what we all thrive on.
