Fenti Marketing

Radisson Blu Hotels partners with Fenti Marketing, a leading digital marketing agency in Sheffield, to support the launch of its new flagship hotel in the heart of Sheffield.

As the first European hotel opening for Radisson Blu in several years, this project marked a key milestone for the brand. Fenti Marketing was selected to develop and implement a strategic social media plan to generate buzz, engage local audiences and position the hotel as a top destination for both business and leisure travellers.

A Strategic Partnership to Elevate the Radisson Blu Brand

The Radisson Blu Sheffield launch required a multifaceted approach, aimed at establishing a strong social media presence from the ground up. Fenti Marketing was tasked with creating an engaging digital narrative that would resonate with the local community while reflecting the premium, stylish image of the Radisson Blu brand. The campaign’s objectives included building brand awareness, organically growing the hotel’s social media following, and laying the foundation for effective paid advertising initiatives.

Fenti’s Approach to the Project

The launch strategy was divided into pre- and post-launch phases, each carefully designed to maximise exposure and drive engagement. Fenti Marketing’s approach included:

Content Creation and Social Media Management

A comprehensive content calendar was developed to showcase the hotel’s modern amenities, sleek interiors and prime location. Regular photo and video shoots were conducted on-site, producing visually compelling content that highlighted key aspects of the hotel. Behind-the-scenes footage and curated reels were utilised to enhance engagement and generate anticipation in the weeks leading up to the opening.

Creative Graphic Design

Following Radisson Blu’s established brand guidelines, Fenti’s design team created visually appealing social media posts. The graphics effectively balanced the brand’s identity with fresh, localised content tailored to the target audience.

Targeted Paid Advertising

Following a successful period of organic growth, Fenti transitioned the campaign to include paid social media ads. By strategically targeting relevant demographics and utilising location-based content, Fenti ensured that the ads reached potential guests effectively, driving both awareness and engagement.

Impressive Results and Impact

The launch campaign successfully elevated Radisson Blu Sheffield’s social media presence, Fenti’s efforts increased organic growth on Instagram and Facebook, providing a strong foundation for ongoing promotional activities and paid campaigns. The partnership underscores Fenti Marketing’s expertise in delivering tailored digital strategies for the hospitality sector.

How do you know when it’s time to refresh your brand? A common reason is inconsistency within the marketplace.

When you realize several customer touchpoints – physical and digital brand contact points – were overlooked during the last brand update.

Ben Ellis, Operations Manager of Prodek Design and Storage Systems Ltd., discovered inconsistent legacy branding across multiple Prodek touchpoints.

Ben Ellis says:

In late 2019, we were working on a strategy to build on successes in new sectors we had targeted. Frustratingly, we had three different logo designs across our branding. I knew marketing needed to be a key part of the plan going forward.

The racking and storage experts, established in 1993, are known for their Made in Sheffield mezzanine floors and cantilever vehicle racks. Prodek storage solutions transform how businesses use one of their most valuable assets, space.

Mark Shipley, Managing Director of fenti Digital Marketing said:

I just so happened to get in contact with Ben, being a fellow Sheffield Chamber member, to see if he needed help with marketing. It seemed I called at precisely the right time!

This chance call was the start of a fruitful relationship between the two companies. At the time, Prodek was on the cusp of a sustained period of growth. Recognizing the need to capitalize on its foothold in evolving sectors, Prodek embarked on a bold new marketing strategy. A complete rebrand.

To reflect the ambitions and capabilities of Prodek, fenti designed a brand-new logo. To achieve the paragon of logo design, longevity, and recognisability, fenti designed the new logo to transition the brand and propel it towards its future as an industry leader.

Moving from a text-only logo, fenti introduced a design with a distinct color palette, and graphics to subtly reflect the nature of Prodek’s services.

Elaine Shipley, Creative Director at fenti Digital Marketing said:

Once we developed the color palette, typeface, logo and brand direction for Prodek, we updated this branding at every touchpoint. This is one of the best parts of my job, creating and nurturing a brand, and seeing it evolve with the clients’ ambitions. I love it.

The next step in Prodek’s marketing strategy was a new website. The website can get to a point where, without regular maintenance, can be difficult to update and restrict the depth and breadth of content that an engaging user experience requires.

Mark from fenti said:

The pandemic came along with a slew of challenges but thankfully, we easily adapted and were able to continue supporting our clients through some of the toughest trading conditions they have ever encountered.

Work continued to nurture Prodek’s new brand throughout lockdown as more traditional sales and marketing tactics took a backseat to digital marketing. The redeveloped website design was launched in 2021 with new text, images, video, and a new, more user-friendly structure.

The site was rebuilt using WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system. WordPress is favored by fenti web developers for its ease of use for clients.

Mark says:

We don’t want to ‘lock’ clients in with custom, in-house website software. When we build a site, the client can update it themselves, take it to another agency, or ask us to manage it for them. It’s fair and it’s one of the reasons why clients stay with us for the long term.

Even with the new brand and website complete, work continues to establish Prodek as the industry leader. Prodek has a consistent and recognizable brand name that is performing beyond expectations.

While the team may feel they are busy enough, fenti is busy expanding Prodek’s reach to new industries.

Mark said:

We have a strong focus on SEO at fenti. The user experience and technical elements are tightly intertwined within Google algorithms, which the team collaborates on to continually develop. It’s very satisfying to see the website your team created move up the rankings and deliver those all-important leads.

The future is full of possibilities for Prodek. Growth industries like e-commerce flourish and need Prodek’s expertise to make the most of existing business premises or fully kit out a new venture.

The beauty of having an outsourced marketing department is that you have a team brimming with skills at your fingertips.

An opportunity is never missed, and you can rest assured that your brand will always look it’s very best.

Ben Ellis said:

fenti has transformed the look of Prodek into something that reflects who we are and how we want the business to develop. I was concerned a complete rebrand might be a lot of hassle – I’m very busy running the company – but it was easy. I’m pleased to say it’s all been really successful. fenti functions as our marketing team, which gives me time to focus on business operations, and the daily running of the company.

The Brief

Progressive Safety contacted the Fenti Marketing team in late 2021, Progressive Safety contacted Fenti Marketing after a member of their own marketing team had worked with them with much success on a prior project. Having already established an exceptional reputation for their marketing services, Progressive Safety approached their team for their unique services, as they felt that one of their websites were underperforming, and in need of a revamp.

With exclusive trading rights, Progressive Safety are leading providers of JCB Workwear products, offering apparel suitable for a plethora of trade careers, including construction, electrical, plumbing and much more available across the UK. Offering workwear and accessories online and in-store to both tradesmen and the general public, they decided that they wanted to reinvent the JCB Workwear website to help improve their ROI, and reach out to new potential clients.

The whole team at Fenti were extremely excited to begin this new project; offering their fully comprehensive approach to provide the very best results possible. By brainstorming together, and analysing the pre-existing website for performance, look, feel and user experience, Fenti Marketing found that all of these aspects could be improved upon significantly.

With this in mind, Fenti and Progressive Safety collaborated closely together to develop a plan of action which encompassed their every need and requirement for an Ecommerce website build.

What Fenti Delivered

Together, Fenti scoped out a brand new website design developed through WordPress, improved the sitemap for better user experience, and created relevant landing pages with optimised primary and secondary keyword led content to assist with Google rankings. A main priority indicated by the client was to have an unrestricted backend CMS system, so that should the client wish to make changes such as adding, amending or removing products, they can do with ease and simplicity.

Successfully, Fenti were able to give the client’s brand a complete refresh, whilst also making sure that user experience is fixed safely at the heart of the project. Now with a fresh new image, expertly written content created by using professional SEO research, and Woocommerce for online shoppers, JCB Workwear have seen a significant rise in their ROI, as well as a major boost to both the performance and appearance of their website.
