Marketing for Tower Hamlets businesses
Tower Hamlets holds two very different business worlds. Canary Wharf, on the Isle of Dogs, rivals the City as a financial district, with global banks, law firms and technology companies in its towers, and Level39 in One Canada Square has hosted many fintech and cyber security start-ups. Around them work consultancies, recruiters, compliance specialists, caterers and facilities firms.
Smaller financial and professional firms near Canary Wharf face the same challenge as those in the City: competing for clicks against very large rivals. That means:
- Narrow Google Search campaigns on specialist services, with branded search protection
- LinkedIn Ads aimed at defined roles in banks and financial firms
- Email updates to clients and intermediaries, approved before sending because of financial promotion rules
Fintech and cyber security start-ups need tracking set up properly from the start and campaigns judged on qualified leads or sign-ups rather than clicks.
Further west and north, Spitalfields, Brick Lane, Whitechapel and Aldgate are dense, historic and entrepreneurial. Bangladeshi-owned restaurants, wholesalers, retailers and travel agents are central to the area, alongside markets, fashion and vintage shops. For restaurants and takeaways, Instagram, TikTok and Meta ads with a tight radius, accurate delivery app and Google listings, and SMS offers to opted-in regulars bring the most orders. Wholesalers and food importers selling to the trade benefit from Google Search and email to their customer list, sometimes in more than one language.
Whitechapel has the Royal London Hospital and Queen Mary University of London's medical school, with the main campus at Mile End, bringing a large student audience. Bow, Poplar and Wapping have growing numbers of small businesses and creative studios. Charities and community organisations may qualify for Google Ad Grants.
