Boosting Staffordshire’s Economy with the ‘Get Started and Grow’ Scheme

It’s been a fulfilling journey, and it’s far from over. We have had the incredible opportunity to partner with Staffordshire Council on their ‘Get Started and Grow’ scheme since 2023. This project, part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, aims to empower local businesses with the digital marketing tools they need to succeed and expand.

Since the beginning of the scheme, we’ve collaborated with 50 businesses from a wide range of sectors, providing them with essential services like professional websites and foundational branding. 

From helping a new restaurant attract more reservations to giving a security firm a trustworthy online presence, our work has been all about providing the digital foundations these businesses need to grow. We’ve built websites that showcase amazing work and created brand identities that truly represent the heart of a business. 

The success of this scheme is built on a close-knit partnership. We work hand-in-hand with the council, maintaining regular check-ins and using project management boards to ensure every detail is organised and transparent. Our process is designed to be clear and easy for businesses to follow, from the initial onboarding forms and kick-off calls to dedicated feedback rounds. This structured approach ensures a seamless experience and a successful outcome for everyone involved.
