> Tour operators, distilleries, self-catering lets, hotels and life science firms in Inverness and across the Highlands can use dijitul for Google Ads, social media and email marketing. We work remotely from Mansfield. Google Ads management starts from £150 a month + VAT, social media from £125 a month + VAT and email from £95 a month + VAT.

Inverness is the capital of the Highlands and the main service centre for a huge, sparsely populated area. NHS Highland and Raigmore Hospital, The Highland Council and Highlands and Islands Enterprise are among the biggest employers, and the University of the Highlands and Islands is headquartered in the city, with Inverness Campus hosting a growing cluster of life science and technology businesses.

Tourism is a major industry. Inverness is the gateway to Loch Ness, the North Coast 500 and Skye, and the city's hotels, guest houses, tour operators, self-catering lets and restaurants are busy from spring to autumn. Visitors plan from all over the world, which shapes the marketing:

- Google Search ads on tours, experiences and accommodation, run by country for overseas markets and booked well in advance
- Meta and Instagram ads aimed at people planning Highland trips, with strong landscape imagery and video
- Branded search to protect direct bookings from resellers
- Email to past guests and enquirers, sent early in the year

Seasonality is strong, so budgets should rise before and during peak booking periods and fall in winter.

Distilleries and food and drink producers across the Highlands use Inverness for logistics and services. They sell through visitor centres, shops and online, and their marketing combines Instagram, Shopping ads and email for repeat and gift orders, within alcohol advertising policies. Whisky and gin have international audiences, so campaigns by country help where shipping allows.

Life science and health tech firms at Inverness Campus market to specialists through LinkedIn and narrow search. Renewable energy contractors and public sector suppliers use LinkedIn and B2B search. Retailers and charities in the city can reach a wide Highland catchment through Facebook, which remains well used across rural areas.
