So the rumours are true. Time to dust off the plectrums and master the four finger G. #oasis

Ha! We knew you loved us @kierandesigner #design #halomarketing

Earlier this year we were tasked with re-designing the Winchester Science Centre logo. Our designer Kieran, did a phenomenal job in pleasing a wide variety of stakeholders. #logodesign #design #halomarketing

From concept to build. We manage every step of the way… so you don’t have to. #standbuild #eventmanagement #standdesign #halomarketing

PPC v SEO While SEO remains an essential component of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, the advantages of PPC make it an attractive option for businesses seeking immediate, measurable, and targeted results. By leveraging PPC advertising, you can achieve rapid visibility, precise audience targeting, and a flexible approach to budget management, all of which contribute to more effective and efficient marketing campaigns. For businesses looking to maximize their online presence and drive growth, PPC offers distinct and compelling benefits that often surpass those of SEO. #ppc #paidadvertising #halomarketing

Standing out without showing off. Tricky but totally achievable. #socialmedia #socialmediagraphics #halomarketing

Halo is always ready for a quick content grab. You name the time and the place. #halomarketing

No images for your new website. No problem. The same with copy, site map, PPC plan... #throwbackthursday #halomarketing

Who doesn’t love a cartoon? Grabs attention and more importantly keeps it. #animatedvideo #halomarketing

Another set of concepts from our local hospital design work. This set was to remind the viewer that their everyday issues, no matter how trivial, woud be something someone suffering from cancer would give anything for. #creativedesign #creativeconcepts #creativecampaign #halomarketing

From scamp to physical puppets. The latest two additions to our character team were the brainchild of a local school to encourage Phonics learning. We did the fun bit, which involved colouring in. #illustrations #design #halomarketing

There’s no denying, running social media accounts in today’s hyper-consumer market, requires a team rather than an individual. At Halo, we use every skillset in the team for input on content, new strategies and tactics plus it helps to look at things from a different angle. It’s more than just a picture. It’s a story we’re trying to tell. #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #halomarketing

One day… …we filmed and edited 13 videos in one day + PHOTOGRAPHY We still talk about it. One-take Chris and one-take Emily. 🎥 #halomarketing #photography #content

Privileged to have worked on an emotive creative campaign for the local Hospital. Becoming the force behind fundraising, our creative team produced a final product we’re all proud of. 15 individual sets of concepts. 5 finally selected for finalisation. 1 winner. #creativedesign #creativecampaigns #fundraising #halomarketing

Another part of the brand process was understanding who we are and how we operate, what is Halo’s personality? Behind this was a conversation about why clients engage Halo and most importantly stay with us? I’ve had this long found theory that we’re like an Independent Ivy restaurant - where everything can be a bit quirky (yet creative) and the level of service is always to a high standard (please don’t feel the need to let me know each time The Ivy has provided poor service) - this standard is like a warm blanket, every time you book you just know you’re going to be treated exceptionally. So the question is, what is your company’s brand personality? It gives a fascinating insight into the difference between perception and reality - and fundamentally how to close the gap and drive the narrative back to the brand. #brand #branding #brandpersonality

Earlier this year we embarked upon a top to bottom review of what Halo was, how it’s percieved, how we want to be defined and what the next few years will look like. Part of this was to nail down our good old fashioned ‘brand values’ - it took me (Luke) ten years to realise that branding other companies was easy, i’ve been doing it for forever. But to analyse my own company to this level was nigh on impossible. 𝗔𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶’𝗺 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 and i’m spending all my time looking after my clients’ brands (which is the way it should be). So we engaged Sarah Deakin @curation_studio to take a look at Halo. It was honest, painful at times, but wholly refreshing. Below is a quick look at our newly defined brand values. These will be a constant reminder to myself, the Halo team, anyone joining Halo in the future and anyone that wants to know just what kind of agency we are - the standards that are at our core, the reasons why we’re proud to wear the halo hat and turn up everyday to give our best. #brand #values #brandvalues #halomarketing #digitalmarketing

We get it. Marketing can be a bit like a rollercoaster; ups, down, moments when it feels like your stomach is about to fall out your... well you know. Not with Halo though. A sound strategy, audience profiling, consistent messaging and regular contact with us - get you on a journey that’s more like the Japanese Bullet Train. Let’s. Go. #strategicmarketing

Time for a new look 💙

🚀 Join Our Team! We’re looking to add a PPC Specialist to Halo. Ping us an email on info@halo-marketing.co.uk and we’ll send through a job spec. #PPCExpert #DigitalMarketing

Content. Content. Content. Love where Halo takes us and who we get to meet. #halomarketing #digitalcontent

Doing something a bit different is a little scary. Especially when your only experience of marketing is your Ops manager’s niece having a go at the company social media because she once sold a barbie playhouse on marketplace. We know. We’ve heard it all before. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤. #halomarketing #adventure #creativedesign

If Halo was a 5-a-side-team… Creativity of Messi. Experience of Modric. Strategic nouse of Guardiola (player/manager). Longevity of Ronaldo and hair like Robbie Savage. #halomarketing #ultimate5aside

Ten years ago saw the release of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams and Guardians of the Galaxy was in the cinema (I AM GROOT!)... And we had an idea to start at marketing agency. Glad it worked. #halomarketing #tenyearsyoung #2014wasarubbishyearforfilms

We get it. In today’s world graphics are needed yesterday, websites live within 24hrs and occasionally a face-to-face meeting with only 20 mins notice. We are HALO and it’s what we do. Our team are like a well-drilled pit stop crew. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤. #halomarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing

Great day of product and people photography at one of our valued ‘high flying clients’ - pleasure to work with Sarah from Curation Studio. #halomarketing #photography

It’s snowing outside. Just a normal day in the offi… …cockpit. Lauren M #halomarketing #flightsimulation #flightsimulator

For those of you heading off to sunnier climbs or at least a cabin in the mountains (a la Wham’s Last Christmas video)... ...here’s Burt the new Halo Christmas mascot. #christmas

That’s the tree up.

Content. Content. Content.

Phenomenal quality from @hirocreations Whether I’m trucking in a truck or putting on the greens - repping the black and white.

Making our mark. Putt-ing the work in. Staying the course. #golfpuns

Hello gorgeous.⠀ ⠀ Nice new site for our sports management client ⚽ 🌎

Many thanks to the speedy service from the people at @v1ceconnections In all honesty, we got jealous of ordering them for our clients so go a few for us. #halomarketing

Passing the time waiting for videos to render.

Trying my absolute best to be as professional as possible, whilst faced with adversity and provocation.

I hear Meridian is looking for a new presenter.

Almost 2 years of lessons and Luke only knows two songs… Why Does it Always Rain on Me by @travistheband and Candy by @paolonutini Yes. He makes us listen.

Thrilled to announce Lauren has joined Halo Marketing as Digital Marketing Manager - helping to support our clients with their strategic marketing. Welcome aboard. #halomarketing

When you’re not a fan of heights, but you’re acting totally cool with it.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Some days it’s all about the office music.

New recycling manager. Not too sure what she does with the paper but it’s definitely gone. #halomarketing #dog

Unbelievable evening for a quick content grab to populate a client’s new website and social media platforms. Even had a quick go on the e-bike myself, unfortunately not pictured… shame. #perksofthejob #ebike #ebikes #ebikestagram

A note from me… We’re blessed at Halo with some truly wonderful clients, a dedicated team and ruthless optimism (have I just coined a new phrase?). As a company, dealing with a Pandemic, our aim was to come out of that period stronger than we went in. Now, there’s still some way to go but we’ve a series of announcements coming up with regard to expansion of our team, new offices and new services that we’re excited to tell you about. Also, our social media platforms will be hyper-charged as the team will be let loose providing content. As always, feedback always welcome… if not always acted upon. [Luke] #halomarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing

Spotted… Dr Chris sporting this seasons latest in golfing headwear, the highly sought after… Halo cap. #halomarketing #golf #golfcap

This tiny bit of kit is a game changer for us. Couldn’t recommend the @rodemic Wireless 2 enough. #rode #marketing #digitalmarketing #halomarketing #halovideo

Of course you do. It’s not about how much marketing budget you have it’s about spending it in the right places. Strategy + Plan + Red Bull = Results #halomarketing #marketing #socialmediamarketing

How refreshing to be attending an exhibition for the first time in a while, real face to face conversations and an incredible stand created by the Halo team. Absolutely brilliant. Feels just like 2019. #events #eventmarketing

Recording content today with a slightly festive flavour. Question. How many hours/days does it take Chris to put up a mobile green screen? Clue. He started this time last year in prep for today. #videocontent #mobilegreenscreen
