Are you ready to push your business’ digital marketing forward?
Our Mission
Mayfly is built on the foundation of offering SMEs more from their marketing.We’re committed to innovation and creativity runs through everything we do. Offering transparency on output and expectations, whilst consistently solving client and customer pain points.
We’re your full-service external marketing team without the expensive price tag. We put small businesses on the map!
Our Values
All of our work is collaborative. Not only do we use all hands on deck to create, plan and report on your campaigns but we work in tandem with our clients to create the best output around whether that’s social media content or optimised service pages.
As an extension of your business, communication is key to success. We have dedicated account managers who are a focal point of communication between you and your team.
We’re quick to react to any pains your business is suffering, offering insight on Ad spend, strategising your socials and upping your local SEO game.
We keep it casual. We don’t see the point in stuffy business attire or awkward marketing jargon. We explain our findings in ways that make sense and offer no-frills solutions to your business problems.
Not everyone works the same. We understand that Keyword Research is different to Content Creation, which again is different to Paid Ad Optimisation. This is why we offer our team flexible working patterns. Some of us work on strict routines whilst others work more fluidly. This means we can harness our productivity and always offer the best output.
