This week we closed a Series A funding round at TALA! And today Sky News called it breaking news 🗣🪐🤯😅 https://lnkd.in/gkNv7bAH I can’t quite believe it’s been three years since starting our first funding round, and in that time since we started the last round TALA has grown tenfold & stayed profitable every single year in an incredibly tough market. As a team we’ve innovated, gone boldly into whole new products, made lots and lots of mistakes (!!) and invested countless hours into making sure we’re never complacent for our customers - and I could not be prouder of us. I got a bit emotional looking back at our previous round’s pitch deck where we reached every single promise we set and over delivered for our shareholders too which I’m really proud of. And let me tell you, because I think it’s important to be transparent, funding rounds are gruelling! It’s taken us 7 months to get this closed, and it’s so far from just signing on the dotted line. When it comes to due diligence there is never a stone in the business unturned, you have to be constantly hitting new targets whilst running the business alongside which is actually the worst thing in the world to be completely honest 😂 It’s like you’re driving down a motorway but also building the car at the same time and also having to make sure the people in the car are doing okay and maybe also feeling car sick. That being said, I will never take this moment for granted. We’re a female-founded business with a female CEO and majority female leadership positions, in a country where just 2% of VC funding in the UK goes to female-founded businesses—so I don't underestimate how statistically almost impossible it is to reach this stage of funding, let alone a business lifecycle. This is a HUGE moment for the team, and we’ll be celebrating in the office this week 🪩 but it also goes so far beyond me. This is a huge thank you to anyone who’s ever interracted with, bought from, worn or talked about TALA. I take the responsibility to build you your ideal clothing company very very seriously, and I’m so honoured to have the opportunity 🤍 Haven’t tried TALA yet? I guess now’s the time to see why we’re rated above all competitors on TrustPilot + why our customers come back for more month after month: wearetala.com

Great to meet some of the wider team at Miracle Design and Play Ltd earlier this week for the start of their LinkedIn personal branding program ✌🏼 The questions we start with in these sessions are so important... Why are you posting on LinkedIn? Why do you want to develop your personal brand? What is it you are trying to achieve? Essentially, what are your objectives? If you find yourself regularly losing motivation when posting here, take a second to think, "Do I have a clear reason as to why I'm doing this?" 💭 If the answer is no, it might be time to think about it... I've left some key things to ask yourself in the comments below ⬇️ Have a good one folks! 😊 #personalbranding #linkedincontent #postingbutwhy

A chance to get out of the office and revisit an old haunt! 🌟 Exciting Times Ahead! 🌟 It was inspiring to attend the North East Chamber of Commerce AGM and witness the positive energy and optimism for the upcoming year. With a new government in place, there’s a renewed focus on growth and innovation that promises exciting opportunities for businesses across our region. One of the standout themes of the AGM was the emphasis on diversity and inclusion. It’s clear that fostering a diverse workforce and inclusive business practices is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage. The discussions highlighted how diversity drives creativity, enhances problem-solving, and ultimately leads to better business outcomes. Looking ahead, I'm thrilled about the potential for growth and the role digital marketing can play in amplifying the voices of diverse communities and businesses. By leveraging digital platforms, we can create more inclusive marketing strategies that resonate with a wider audience and reflect the rich diversity of our region. Here's to a prosperous year ahead, filled with innovation, inclusivity, and growth!

Over a quarter of a million views! This is how a brand partnership works… It’s one of the huge benefits & power of the democratisation of social media marketing these days. We recently partnered with Helen Claydon & HAIG Legal Group who kindly came on board with us as a sponsor of our Monaco Grand Prix staff clothing… Not only was their brand visible on our rather stylish team kit inc polo shirts, shorts, jackets and gillets to our 200 influential high net worth guests (and countless others who saw us) they are also enjoying the ongoing benefit of being featured in our content & marketing… Not just my LinkedIn content but our team’s LinkedIn content, our 2 company channels, Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, website, email marketing and anything else we do marketing wise. In just the last month on LinkedIn alone we’ve achieved well over 250k views of content featuring the Haig brand and we’ll achieve well over 1 million in the next 12 months This sort of exposure and brand visibility would have cost a small fortune to achieve just 10 years ago or you’d be paying some sort of “influencer” £1500 a post to do it nowadays. Plus! Not only does the partnership include the branding and wide exposure over the next year inc the 2025 Monaco GP too, Helen and Haig as part of the deal came down to Monaco this year and will come next year as well with their VIP guests & clients on VIP a package including luxury hotel accommodation and SuperYacht hospitality. Not too shabby a sponsorship deal! Like all good self respecting F1 teams we potentially have room for another sponsor to join Haig for the 2025 Monaco GP. Package can be tailored to your budget / requirements subject to a min spend level. No competing law firm I’m afraid - Haig specialise in estate planning / wills & associated services. If this interests you and your company please get in touch or tag anyone you think would like to take advantage or indeed if you’d just like to attend as guests… 🏁 DM me 🏁 Email me - address on my profile header 🏁 ‪WhatsApp +44 7931 580820‬ #f1 #sponsor #marketing

In the future, Double Glazing & KBB companies will need to focus more on authenticity. Customers are becoming savvier and trust traditional ads less. They will seek out businesses with proven track records. Start leveraging customer testimonials now to stay ahead. Authentic feedback will be crucial for building trust and credibility with new prospects and reducing buyer's remorse.. Here are 4 ways you can use testimonials throughout your marketing. ↳ Website Home Page: Feature testimonials prominently on your home page to immediately build trust with visitors. Highlight quotes and customer experiences to showcase your reliability and success. ↳ Social Media: Share testimonials on your social media platforms. Use engaging visuals and videos to make the testimonials stand out. Regularly post customer success stories to keep your audience engaged and informed. ↳ Email Campaigns: Incorporate testimonials into your email marketing campaigns. Use them in newsletters and promotional emails to provide social proof and encourage conversions. ↳ Landing Pages: Place testimonials on landing pages to increase credibility and conversion rates. Testimonials relevant to the specific product or service being promoted can significantly boost trust and encourage potential customers to take action. This trend is only going to grow. Are you prepared to meet this demand?
