The Yardstick Agency - Nottingham

Marnel Stafford

What a pleasure it is to work with this team.

Phil took time to listen to my requirements and was able to structure a bespoke approach to marketing for me. From social media to blogs and more. There is constant communication to ensure everyone is on the same page and I have never had to wait or ask twice for anything.

There is also a sense of helpfulness and going that extra mile from everyone in the team. I have been able to ask questions, share new ideas and learn a lot from the experts - which they most certainly are.

Being specialists in marketing for Financial Advisers, they understand how the processes and compliance work and have made sure that everything runs smoothly and on time. I have had huge success with the social media posts, as well as my regular newsletters, which have helped with not just exposure, but also educating my clients at the same time.

Thank you Yardstick for making a difference and for saving me so much time and energy with such an important aspect of my job. I look forward to growing this relationship far into the future.

We engaged Yardstick this year to rebuild our marketing foundations, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made in the last 12 months. From the outset, the team at Yardstick has been fantastic. Every step of the process has been thoroughly explained and broken down, allowing us to effectively manage alongside the day-to-day running of our company. Their professionalism, expertise, and clear communication have made the entire experience seamless and highly productive. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Yardstick to any business looking to strengthen their marketing strategy.

It was great for me to be on the attendee side of a live session for a change as it was a lunchtime, so I was able to fit it in my day.

A great discussion based session.
No trawling through multiple PowerPoint slides. Just down to earth chat and interaction from the hosts and a brilliant guest speaker.

Great questions from the host and attendees to the guest speaker and fabulous learning-points , take aways along with action points which I have already started to implement.

Always admired what this agency do for my clients and this increased that even more.

Highly recommend their services for professionalism and being very lovely people to work with.

Yardstick came recommended from more than 1 person within the Financial Planning industry. I can only give positive feedback, they are very clear, professional, passionate, and can help with all areas in marketing. All staff are very high level. Since enlisting their services our marketing has improved drastically, it's exactly what you need, a specialist outsourced company, so you can focus on other areas and use their expertise. We still have a lot to do, and they are helping in a mangeable timeframe. Thanks, i look forward to our next catch up.

P.S they offer excellent free webinars with guests, i highly recommend those too!

Webinar: Everything you need to know about client testimonial videos

Another excellent webinar from Phil and Abi at Yardstick.

Have learned such a lot from the session this morning and feeling very inspired about the great marketing resource, that is video content.

Thanks again to the Yardstick team!

Workshop: How to use LinkedIn effectively in 2024 and beyond:

I have attended several free of charge webinars hosed by Yardstick which have always been excellent. The workshop I attended yesterday was the first event which was chargeable.

The cost of the workshop was small considering the value of the knowledge, training and expertise delivered by the hosts.

The three hours passed by quickly, as we were engrossed in the content, tips and tricks delivered in a bubbly, engaging way.

I've already received a follow up email with a link to the recording of the session, along with really useful links and overview of the session.

I highly recommend Yardstick for their learning sessions and resources, and the organisation of the event.

Many thanks to the Yardstick team!

The Yardstick is a sensational marketing agency!
They are doing some incredible work in dragging our firm out of our old ways, in a 360 degrees approach that is benefitting every aspect of the way we do business!
I also find their pricing quite reasonable!
All in all, I can't recommend them enough

I have used Yardstick for a number of marketing initiatives recently: they introduced a section of our website talking to our target clients; the team manage my LinkedIn profile; we use the team to produce our blogs and newsletter; and the team have also produced some bespoke guides for us.

The results have been fantastic. Whenever I go out networking, I have professionals commenting on a) how active I am and b) the quality of the content. This has led to us being front of those professional connections' minds when thinking of who to refer their clients to.

Our clients have commented on the quality of the content in our newsletter and blogs.

Our website also now speaks directly to our target clients and we have had several new clients comment on our website and that they have been very impressed by our website, which naturally would have played a part in their decision to choose to use us.

Thanks Phil, Abi, Jess, Ryan and the team!

I recently attended a webinar hosted by Abi Robinson on all things LinkedIn. The session, which lasted a proper three hours, was an absolute deep dive into how best to use the platform and how to create engaging authentic posts. I have used LinkedIn for over five years, but I learned so much from the session that I am already putting into practice!

The presenters kept a great pace, the session was engaging, and the time flew by. We have already made changes to how we market ourselves on the platform, and the key themes are being discussed in the office.

I would thoroughly recommend any opportunity to attend a Yardstick webinar - you won't regret it!
