TukTuk Creative Marketing

𝐈𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭… 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝? 🍦

I recently hopped on a Day Tripper with a client who is an expert in HR.

They were heading to a trade show for ice cream manufacturers. They were 80% ready, but their digital setup was looking a bit... sticky.

In one day of on-site work, we churned through the tech hurdles:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩: We repurposed their expert HR blogs into a ‘smorgasbord’ of content suggestions specifically for the sector.
𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲: We built an automated system using QR codes. One scan = a lead in the CRM + an instant, personalised follow-up.
𝐍𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬: We handled the 'tech headaches' before the show even started, so they could focus on the people (and the gelato!).

By the time I left, their marketing was moving at pace in the background.

Check out the ‘Days On-Site’ page on my website for the full service itinerary.
But I want to know from you…

What have you seen at a trade show that really works? Is it the clever tech, the best merch, or just really good coffee? ☕️

What a difference a year makes.

I am not one for a New Year’s resolution, however when we moved over into 2026 I felt a sense of relief.

A new year gave me the head space to:

👌 Expand my networking opportunities with April Wild’s amazing .uk and at as well as dropping in at Connects Network. It was a delight to see so many inspiring female business owners come together on a grey day with so much positivity and energy.

🤘 Take two delightful stays in YHA venues to get fresh air, stunning views and a little history into my life

🏏 The opportunity to sample a little softball (Really hoping that when I get to pick up the bat my childhood spent at the cricket club with make me a natural.)

🧗‍♀️Challenge my self belief and strength when I got back up Longton’s bouldering wall .

🛺 And amongst that I have had some great meetings and discussions with some very passionate business owners about taking their website on an inspiring journey.

How has the change in year helped you?

As I start a new chapter, another one has to end.

My final ever lecture has been delivered at University of Derby for the department.

What I thought might be a one off turned into six years of transformation for myself and the students.

Indesign can be a rather daunting package when you are studying the written word… but with coaching, passion a big smile and a hint of humour we have got through it.

I have had so much fun helping students not only use Indesign - but create magazines to be proud of.

There have been tears, smiles, frustration and lots of self doubt… but students have created some absolutely unique and creative masterpieces.

Teenagers are still my passion and hopefully through Spark to your Success I will be able to continue inspiring the adults of the future.

Massive thank you to Richard Bowyer for opening the conversation all those a years ago and being an amazing friend, colleague and recently a shoulder to cry on.

Here’s to the next chapter, as my life takes a bit of a detour from the planned route….

But if you are going to have an inspiring journey, is there a better vehicle than a TukTuk 🛺?

Sat in an office by yourself can be a lonely place.

However, when the call comes to join together with other businesses to create something - I often jump at the chance.

This is certainly the case when Jonathan Pepper
Delphos was after a new .

The amazing brand was created by Chris Hopson at the wonderful words were written by Genevieve Lowles and Claire Smith helped from the sidelines with the direction of the site.

I wish I had before shots to show where the website looked before its refresh - but it has so much more personality now.

Who have you enjoyed collaborating with recently?

Showing clients their new website for the first time is always nerve-wracking - I mentally do star jumps every time.

This week has been no different. As I revealed the first two pages to a client this week, they even asked if I was nervous and asked why I don’t just email the link over.

I explained how I needed to be brave, and actually, some of the most important feedback I get is not what a client says, it’s what they don’t say. How does their face looks, what is their body language, and their tone of voice - do they all support what they are actually saying?

Getting the first draft of a website spot on is crucial, it has a knock-on effect to the rest of the site if you don’t get every bit of feedback.

The nerves then kick in again when the client starts to gather the feedback of others in the business and their business connections.

The client emailed later that same day to say: “Just shown my Dad, no complaints from him he loves it too!”

What has someone nailed for you on the first shot this week?

After completing a website for Stuart when he was in a previous role, he felt confident calling on us to support the launch of his own exciting new venture, Love's Independent Funeral Directors.

Stuart wanted a website that (ironically enough!) brought his business to life. In an industry steeped in tradition, Love’s has a modern yet deeply sensitive approach – and the website needed to reflect this.

The subject matter needed to be treated with the upmost care, so that any loved one who was visiting the website felt supported and connected with from the very first word they read. Love’s Independent Funeral Directors isn’t afraid to speak frankly about death and loss but ultimately, they are sensitive to the unique needs of the families and communities they support.

Based in a beautifully historic building in the heart of Stafford, the business now has a website that sits alongside it perfectly. We are really excited to watch how this business will grow – we’ll be supporting Stuart and the team as their reputation in Stafford continues to blossom and as he assists families during the most difficult of times.

When we asked Stuart about how he found the process, he told us:
I have previously used Vicky’s amazing skills and knew she was the perfect match for us when it came to building a bespoke up to date website!

Professional, creative and approachable are the three words that Anya used to describe working with TukTuk Creative Marketing.

The Acres Signs and Graphics team were keen to showcase their amazing work online and increase awareness in the local area.
Having previously worked at a printers it was easy to see how we could not only demonstrate what they do but also help improve the quoting process with some bespoke quote forms.

It was a pleasure to create and we love following the team to see how they are getting on and watch the website rise through the Google rankings.

What three words would your clients say about working with you ?

When edtech consultant Joe Basketts reached out to discuss creating a website, he was keen to get things moving quickly.

In subsequent conversations about the upcoming project, Joe mentioned that he was a self-confessed “control freak” when it came to commissioning content for the business. He related how creative projects in the past tended to stall because he and the team were never quite satisfied with how the content was shaping up, and he was yet to meet a copywriter who understood what they needed and “got” who they were.

Well, how delighted were we when Joe and the Satori Education team made only a few minor changes to the final design and the website went live smoothly in great time.

Reflecting on their shiny new website, it’s great to see how the team's incredible knowledge of the edtech sector is highlighted through testimonials and case studies, with clients from across the globe expressing total satisfaction with Joe’s services. On their service pages, their programmes have been broken down into easy to read sections. We’ve taken pains to illustrate how each solution they offer solves a specific problem faced by their wide variety of clients, who range from individual schools to multi-academy trusts.

We look forward to supporting Joe and the team as they move forward with their new website and refined brand, especially now they’re more confident than ever in how they talk about their business online through the written word.

Reflecting on the website, Joe said: "Our new website is absolutely fantastic and is exactly what we wanted. From start to finish the whole process has been handled efficiently and professionally. The graphic design is outstanding and conveys the high-quality feel that represents our own values. Writing the content would have been a huge challenge for us without TukTuk’s help. Everything about it is spot on!”

Sometimes you question exactly what you can bring to a client when their sector is not quite something you’d have a vested personal interest in. That was my initial concern when considering how we could make browsers swoon over the website of a popular and well-loved bridal store.

I mean, I didn't even enjoy shopping for a wedding dress when I had to buy one for my actual wedding – but that's a story for another day…

After working with Kelly and the Robertas Bridal team for a year or so, they were keen to develop their online presence and wanted a website refresh. There wasn't anything totally wrong with the website as it was then; it was functioning correctly and even collecting leads from brides-to-be browsing for bridal stores to visit. But crucially, the website just didn’t reflect the energy of the friendly and knowledgeable team, the carefully considered look of the bridal store itself, or the irresistible, almost electric feeling you got every time you stepped into the store. It just wasn’t swoonworthy enough!

Bringing this particular website to life has been a pleasure and we are really delighted with the result. I may never want to get married again but if I ever had to, I know the team at Roberta's would look after me and help me become the bride I felt truly comfortable being.

When asked what three words described TukTuk Creative Marketing after the website had gone live, Kelly said: Ideas to life

Not quite an award winner but... I am soooooo happy.

Last night I attended the NetworkIN awards.

I was up for two awards as well as being in the Team of the Year category which we were the current holders of.

Being highly commended for both Advocate of the Year and Team of the Year is an absolute pleasure.

NetworkIN and networking has been a key part of my business strategy since its inception 7 years ago - I don't know where I would be without it (Probably employed - eek - no one wants that again).

Not only does NetworkIN generate leads that turn into amazing clients I have learned so much about other business sectors and it gives me a way of having a team without employing anyone.

Thanks to everyone I have met through NetworkIN - but especially the current advocates of Team Stoke Friday.

Really pleased that our charity efforts have received more press for the amazing Rosie May Foundation

On Friday 11th March the inaugural Rosie May Foundation Peak District Tuk Tuk Challenge began. We had a great send off from Bingham and the convoy of 4 Tuk Tuks, led by volunteer Phil Drabble on his motorbike set off with the aim of driving 300 miles in 3 days!

14/03/2022

The charity challenge comedown.

This weekend has to go down as one of the best weekends of my life.

Together with 12 amazing humans (and Barry the dog) that I had never met before I covered 300 miles in the back of a TukTuk taking in the best the Peak District had to offer.

I quickly got assigned the role head of PR and was very soon hanging out the side of the tuktuk eager to get the best shots as we weaved through the countryside.

All organised and planned by Rosie May Foundation volunteers the event saw each and every one of us laugh out loud and smile from ear to ear.

Lorries drenched us, fellow tukkers stalled on hills and were left for dust in a bid not to do the same and hundreds and hundreds or people waved and cheered us on.

In total, with gift aid, we have raised more than £6k for the foundation to train up single mums in Sri Lanka to drive and rent Tuktuks and start a business and a better life for them and their families.

Today I am on a total low as a think of the highs and smile and then realise it's all over and life is back to reality.

To think last week I was unsure I would even enjoy the challenge for fear of being too cold.

What epic (or tiny) adventure have you stopped yourself from doing because you were too scared, worried or thought it was the wrong time?
