Marketing for Guildford businesses
Guildford is Surrey's county town and one of the best-known centres for video game development in the UK. Criterion Games, Media Molecule and Supermassive Games are based in or around the town, and the cluster has produced many smaller independent studios and freelancers. Indie studios need marketing that builds an audience before launch:
- TikTok, Instagram and YouTube content, with paid boosts to grow wishlists and newsletter sign-ups
- Meta and TikTok ads tested quickly with several short clips, judged on cost per wishlist or sign-up
- A launch email list and announcement sequence
- LinkedIn recruitment campaigns for programmers and artists
The University of Surrey is known for engineering, space and communications research, and Surrey Research Park next to the campus hosts well over a hundred technology, space and life sciences companies, including Surrey Satellite Technology. These firms sell to specialists and use LinkedIn, narrow search terms and event-led email.
Guildford's cobbled High Street, castle and cathedral frame a busy shopping and dining centre, surrounded by solicitors, accountants, wealth managers, insurers and surveyors. Professional firms compete with each other and with London practices for clicks, so they benefit from specific service campaigns targeted at Guildford and surrounding villages, branded search protection and client newsletters. Wealth managers and financial firms need factual, approved copy.
The Royal Surrey County Hospital is a large employer, and private healthcare practices need ads within healthcare policies. Retailers and restaurants on the High Street do best with Instagram, local Meta ads and email lists. The A3 and fast trains to Waterloo make the town popular with home-based consultants, who mostly market through LinkedIn and referrals.
