Most Awesome Thing Right Now

Just launched a funding campaign on Crowdcube, going really well, and the majority of the initial investors are from Sugru’s own community – their own customers.

Now working on how to leverage that brand awareness and interest to drive sales.

Using Google Adwords (Keywords, Remarketing, and YouTube pre-roll ads) to drive sales, and capitalise on word of mouth growth.

Just getting deep into Facebook Advertising, leveraging the power of knowing who your customer is and how to find more of them. Linda’s tip – find the side angles, look at the target customer’s whole life not just the interests directly related to your product.

On the Radar for the Coming Months
