It’s really happening! Team Stratique are running for charity!! www.stratique.com

It’s really happening!

Last week, in a moment of madness, the idea of doing a fun run was batted around. It all got a bit out of hand and we ended up agreeing to do 10k run! This seemed reasonable enough until the idea of a half marathon cropped up! Somehow, due to the competitive nature of our office we decided we would do one … no no … lets do both! So here we are in our first week of training. We have just set up our just giving page www.justgiving.com/stratique as we are raising money for Midlands Air Ambulance and signed up for our 10k run in Kingsbury water park on the 27th November 2011. With new running trainers brought we (Andy, Mel, Charlotte and Graham) are starting to do a mile run a week, and will increase it by half a mile each week! What a plan!

We have built up a really good relationship with Sofia at the Midlands Air Ambulance so they were our first choice charity when it came to deciding who to run for. The fundraising aim is to raise £1250, as it costs this much to buy a helmet for the Helicopter Pilots who work tirelessly saving lives on a daily basis

The Midlands Air Ambulance is the only Charity responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances serving the communities of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK. 

What is not widely known is that Midlands Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding. £6 million is needed each year to keep its three Air Ambulances operational which is donated entirely by the public and local businesses.

Wish us luck, come and support us on the day and, if possible please give generously to this great cause.  Hopefully you will never need the Air Ambulance but, it's good to know they are on hand if you ever need them! www.justgiving.com/stratique.>

Brand Identity and logo design to boost your Midlands business.

What does your logo design and brand identity say about your business?

Your logo design is your trust mark. It represents what your brand identity stands for. If your logo design is outdated or tired, this is how your business brand identity will be perceived.

Stratique MarketingDesign and PR helps companies in the Midlands and around the UK develop stronger and more engaging brand identity and logo designs. We help businesses develop a stronger sense of what makes them unique and convey this through the design and tagline development process. Unlike many graphic designers, because of our deep rooted background in brand management, we understand company branding / brand identity development plus product branding / logo design and the resulting logo design will become your trusted mark, to be used throughout all of your design and marketing communications differentiating you in a crowded marketplace.

Branding is extremely important to your companies profile and the logo can be the main driver of this. If you look at some of the most successful companies like Coca Cola, Nike and Ford, their logos have become synonymous with their company and brand, so its important for your company to have a well designed logo. 

Please call 0845 226 3095 for a no obligation logo design or brand identity design quotation

Web Design is just another string to Stratique's bow ... http://www.stratique.com/web%20design%20services.html

Web design is a very competitive and saturated market in the Midlands. With advances in modern web design software packages, DIY web design is now a reality, which many graphic designers and one man bands now use to make attractive websites.

However this approach is unlikely to get you high up the search engine rankings, or equip you with the knowledge on how to attract more visitors and convert them into paying customers.

Graphic website design is just one small part of the internet marketing mix. The main critical success factors lie with integrating your web design strategy and your web copywriting into your web design as a process driven business activity.

Not only will you need eye catching graphic design and a web design navigation system that makes it simple for your users to find the right information, but unless you give your visitors the right information for their specific needs your web design will be ineffective.

As we are an agency we can offer much more then web design. We can manage your website to ensure that it is regularly updated, Search Engine Opimisation, and Social Media that links to your website.

If you are tired of an under performing web design or e-commerce website and want to start generating cash for your business website, please call Stratique Marketing And Design on 0845 226 3095 for a free consultation on how to develop your web design
