Generate UK – Digital Marketing Blog

It’s a new year, a new decade and time for a new start. My name’s Ian Fergusson and I’ve recently joined the team here at Generate UK as a Marketing Executive. I am on a placement year whilst studying Marketing Advertising and communications at the University of Gloucestershire. I am a born and bred Essex boy, but moved to reading in 2009 to become a telemarketer.  I have previously worked as a Marketing Assistant for an International dental company and as a PR assistant for Chelmsford Borough Council.

I am extremely privileged to be joining Generate UK at this exciting time of growth. 2009 was such a successful period for the company I look forward to seeing what we can achieve in the New Year.  I knew I wanted a career in Marketing since I was 14 years old.  Whilst watching the series ‘Cold Feet’ Helen Baxendale became a career role model for me as her character played a Marketing executive for a publication agency. I have managed to pick up a plethora of skills on my marketing journey and I’m looking forward to learning a ton more at Generate.

The team here at Generate are proud of the success we have achieved throughout 2009 and are working hard to make sure 2010 exceeds its high expectations. Joe Baily summarises 2009 by saying:

“We’re extremely proud of where we are as a business. Our team have worked incredibly hard over the last 12 months, working to understand our customers as well as we possibly can. This approach has enabled us to deliver a profitable year and more importantly enabled us to work with brands such as Honda, NHS, National Trust and Senspa. We have also worked hard to forge relationships with local businesses as well, such as Pine and Oak, Donnington Grove, Q Associates, Chris Fidler, Momentum Windows and many more. It is important to us as a Newbury based business to work with Newbury based customers.”

What does 2010 have in store for Generate UK? First of all Generate UK were asked to take part in a technology programme due to air on the BBC. Keep a close eye on our blog and twitter for our aired date.  2010 will also see the launch of Generate UK’s new website which will reflect Generate UK’s focus on design, development and Internet Marketing capabilities. In March 2010, Generate UK will be back in Newbury for their popular marketing seminars. Further details of this event will be on their website shortly.

Happy New Year to all,
Kind regards,
The Generate UK team.
