Marketing for Bridgend businesses
Bridgend sits halfway along the M4 between Cardiff and Swansea and has always been a manufacturing town. Bridgend Industrial Estate is one of the largest in Wales, and when Ford closed its engine plant in 2020, many suppliers lost their main customer and had to look elsewhere.
For those firms, marketing has become part of finding new work:
- Google Search on specific capabilities, such as precision machining, assembly or testing, aimed across the UK
- LinkedIn Ads aimed at procurement and engineering roles in sectors they have not sold to before
- Landing pages and case studies that show machines, accreditations and finished parts
- Remarketing to buyers who viewed capability pages, and email follow-up after enquiries
Electronics is still strong. The Sony UK Technology Centre at Pencoed manufactures products for other companies, the Raspberry Pi among them, and electronics and engineering firms on Bridgend and Waterton industrial estates sell to specialist buyers through search and LinkedIn.
The McArthurGlen Designer Outlet near junction 36 draws shoppers from across south Wales, and the seaside town of Porthcawl, with its caravan parks and Royal Porthcawl golf club, adds tourism. Caravan parks and holiday lets have a strong summer season and benefit from Meta ads aimed at families in south Wales and the West of England, branded search for direct bookings and email to past guests early in the year. Golf-related businesses can target visiting golfers.
The Princess of Wales Hospital is a major employer, and care providers need family-facing search ads and recruitment campaigns. Trades and maintenance businesses across the county borough do best with Google Search, call tracking and Facebook. Logistics firms on the M4 need recruitment ads.
