Winter 2021: An update from The Doers
A new chapter begins.
We started our business originally to bring together collaborative spirit within the freelancing world but as with all businesses, once you get stuck in, it’ll ebb and flow until you land on something pretty special. And we’ve hit that point. Over the course of the past 3 years, we’ve amassed a collective of over 260 freelancers. That wasn’t ever a side of the business we intended to grow quite as quickly as we did. But by running our #WeDontDoLonely days, extensive online networking and a fair few PR opportunities, our name grew within the freelancer world. And boy have we met some incredible people!
Our focus will always be on our client work. It’s what we live and breathe for and frankly, what we’re best at. We toyed with the idea of splitting the business in two to more efficiently run The Doers community but we didn’t feel it was the right move for us. So we went back to the drawing board, worked with an incredible business & commercialisation consultant and refocused our efforts on the things we know we do bloody well.
Introducing The Doers 2.0.
We made the decision to put together The Doers inner circle - a select group of 8 Doers - creative specialists who run their own one-person business - who we’ve worked extensively with across several clients now. They’re tried, tested and quite possibly the most talented bunch of marketeers we’ve ever encountered. Jess continues to lead on creative strategy and Laura oversees all things operational for our clients. But our inner circle help bring every project to life. We have someone to cover all the main marketing and brand building disciplines - SEO, website development, copywriting, brand strategy, graphic design, influencer marketing, social media and commercialisation strategy.
Our team is in-built into the future of our business, get first refusal on all projects and work with us to bring magic to our client projects. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built or more excited for what’s to come.
In the coming weeks we’ll be announcing our new ways of working with clients too. More efficient, more focused, more creative and more impactful than ever before.We’ll be introducing our inner circle over the coming weeks as well as the rest of our 2.0 announcements.
Here’s to the future.
New Ways of Working With Us
It’s safe to say we don’t operate like a traditional agency. We never have, never will. And if you’re coming to us afresh from that world, it might take some getting used to our ways of working. We’ve made that process simpler for our clients by introducing easy ways to get started with us.
Meet our Fab Five.
We’ve created 5 packages/sessions that kick start every new client. Whether you’re a new start-up, scale-up, small team, or established business, our brand marketing packages offer a fresh pair (or several pairs) of expert eyes on your marketing strategy.
Each gives you the support, guidance, and framework you need to grow and scale your business. Together, we look at what’s worked in the past, what’s working now, and what will work in the future to cover your marketing, brand and business.
How it works
These sessions are designed to be the kick off to ongoing work with you or can be stand alone sessions to help give you the kick start you need or a taster session of what we’re able to do for you. There are no strings attached by the end of the session - you can either walk away and implement what we walk you through on your own or you’ll be given a clear guide to how we can support you moving forwards as your plugin marketing team. Either way, you’ll feel fully supported, confident in the next steps for your marketing and ready to hit the ground running.
We Don’t Do Lonely days are BACK!
By popular demand, our remote working days in London are back in partnership with our friends at AndCo! These are now open to anyone who is still working from home and wants to escape their domestic four walls to work alongside some like-minded friendly faces. We’re passionate about making solo working less lonely. These days are completely free to attend and the first coffee is always on us. We might make you have a chinwag with us but I promise we don’t bite!
Our dates are mapped out for the next 3 months. Just bring yourself and your laptop and join us for an hour or two or the whole day or just pop by to say hi!
