Zap

Building a thriving remote team isn’t easy, but it’s one of our proudest achievements at Zap! ⚡️ In this industry, remote work can sometimes lead to isolation for many, but we’ve managed to find a way to build a culture where our team members don’t just work alongside each other…they genuinely support one another, day in and day out. Creating this kind of environment isn’t the job of one person; it’s a collective effort. It’s about nurturing a team culture where everyone knows they have a voice, feels valued, and has the freedom to take initiative without hesitation. The result? A team where people want to stay, grow, and look out for each other (and for Zap!) year after year. We’re proud to have team members who’ve been with us for 5, 10, even 12+ years. In an industry known for rapid turnover, that speaks volumes, right?! We know that when we look after our team, they look after Zap, our clients, and our partners. This is our Zappy way of living! What do you think is key to building a strong and happy team, especially in remote work?

Who says remote teams can’t connect and have fun together? Last week, we celebrated our official Christmas Party, and yesterday, we wrapped up the year with another fantastic Zoom game (shoutout to Avva Experience !) solving mysterious Sherlock Holmes cases like detectives on a mission. 🔍 It’s proof that with a little creativity, you can bring everyone together, no matter where they are in the country(or the world). These moments (solving cases and sharing laughs) are what keep our Zappy spirit strong! How does your team stay connected during the holiday season? Share your tips below…we’re always looking for new ideas! 🎄 #teamculture #remotework #remoteworking #teambonding #digitalagency #digitalagencylife

Welcome to the team, Ryan ⚡️😁

Did somebody say it’s our time to share key trends we think will dominate the digital marketing world in 2025? Let’s do it then: ⚡️ Authentic branding is in more than ever! A strong, authentic brand identity has always been important, but now it is more than just about building trust. Brand signals are playing a bigger role across all marketing channels (whether it’s about Google ranking or the scary algorithm on social media). Make sure your teams are aligned to create a strong and impactful brand presence. ⚡️ We think community marketing will continue to grow, with brands shifting from traditional influencer campaigns to initiatives that work to deepen connections with their audience. Features like Instagram broadcast channels or exclusive group events will become a bigger focus in 2025. ⚡️ Social platforms are becoming key players in search (not just within their own apps but also on Google). Platforms like TikTok are popping up in search results through video carousels and forums, and understanding how to dominate these spaces is definitely essential for SEO success. ⚡️ Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have changed how audiences consume content. Brands that focus on short, engaging, and shareable video content will stay ahead of the curve in 2025 too, for sure. But instead of focusing on chasing trends, expect to see more storytelling and value-driven videos that go back to the previous points we’ve made about building trust and loyalty. ⚡️ Nostalgia in marketing is one of our favourites. Yes, we do love watching and analysing trends, but the volume of them on a daily basis can get overwhelming for everyone, whilst nostalgia will continue to resonate. Campaigns that tap into simpler, familiar moments will keep standing out and create lasting emotional connections. What do you think? Is there anything you’d add to/remove from this list? #digitalmarketingtrends #digitalmarketing2025 #digitalmarketingpredictions #digitalagency

With Christmas just around the corner, we are bringing you one of our favourite light-hearted and funny Christmas marketing stunt ‘masterclasses’ from last year by Aldi! 🎄 When it comes to festive marketing (or any kind of marketing), Aldi consistently nails it, right?! Last year, their cheeky response to M&S’s iconic “Colin the Caterpillar” with a Christmas twist showed the power of wit and relatability in brand storytelling. So, what can we learn from Aldi’s approach? 🎄 By referencing a familiar story (like the big and famous Colin vs. Cuthbert debate we mentioned before), Aldi keeps their brand top-of-mind while spreading festive vibes. 🎄 Light-hearted banter creates shareable content and resonates with audiences. Humour also humanises brands and builds trust, so it’s always a win (as long as it fits with your brand, of course!). 🎄 Aldi’s Christmas marketing integrates seamlessly with their fun, approachable brand voice…aka it fits perfectly with their overall brand identity. Our key takeaway is: the best campaigns are those that bring joy, spark conversation, and reflect your brand’s personality. What’s your favourite Christmas marketing stunt THIS year? #christmas #christmasmarketing #aldi #marketingstunt #digitalagency

Yesterday, social media users across the UK (ourselves included) found themselves refreshing their feeds with no luck. Instagram, Facebook, and Threads were all down. If your business relies mainly on these platforms to connect with your audience, you were probably panicking a bit. Here’s the thing: this was a reminder to us all that while social media is powerful, it’s not always reliable. Platforms can go down, algorithms can change, and trends can change faster than the British weather. And this is where email marketing plays a crucial role! ⚡️Your email list is YOURS to keep (not like social media)…there’s no outages or algorithm changes. You are in control here! ⚡️ Many businesses think it’s dead…it isn’t!!! With an ROI of up to £36 for every £1 spent, email marketing is one of the most cost-effective tools out there. Did you know this? ⚡️You can give that personal touch everyone is craving by tailoring your offers, giving exclusive updates…email lets you connect with your audience in a way that feels personal. Social media is great for visibility, building a community, but email is where relationships really grow. It’s your direct line to your audience, keeping the conversation going no matter what’s happening online. So, if the socials ever go silent again, will your business still have a way to stay connected? #socialmedia #emailmarketing #digitalagency #emailmarketingservice #marketingtips
