This genuinely couldn’t have come at a better time....

The last three weeks have been… A LOT.
Tough projects, long days, and even a lovely little dose of computer hacking to spice things up. 🙃

So when we got yet another lovely 5-star review, it was a boost when it was needed:

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
"We have worked with Purple Octopus as Miro’s PR company for the past 18 months, and the results have been outstanding. During this time, we have quadrupled our followers on LinkedIn, significantly increasing our visibility and brand awareness across the industry.

What really sets Purple Octopus apart is how well they listen and the genuine effort they have made to understand our business, our market and our goals. Their approach feels tailored rather than generic, and it shows in the quality of the work and results they deliver.

Working with Ann Marie and her team has been brilliant. They are professional, proactive, creative and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Purple Octopus to any business looking for a PR partner that truly adds value."

We’ve been working with Miro for around 18 months, and it’s been such a brilliant partnership. We’re still supporting them as their audience keeps growing, and we’re genuinely proud to be part of their story.

If you’re looking for a PR and marketing partner who listens, keeps things simple, actually cares about your goals, and proves their worth, we’re always happy to chat. 😍

Thank you, Michelle Buckland, from Miro Forestry and Timber Products, we love working with you and everything you stand for.

My top 5 Chrome extensions as a marketer (aka my digital lifesavers 🐙) Work smarter, not harder!

Let’s be honest, running a marketing agency means living in a world of endless tabs, caffeine, and the occasional mild panic when Chrome crashes.

Over time, I’ve found a few trusty extensions that keep me (and my sanity) in check 👇

💜 Meta Pixel Helper, for making sure tracking pixels are actually doing their job. Because if it’s not tracking, it didn’t happen.

💜 Clockify Time Tracker keeps me honest about how long I actually spend on things. Spoiler: AI rabbit holes take longer than you think.

💜 Grammarly, my grammar fairy godmother. Sprinkles a little magic dust over typos before I embarrass myself in front of clients.

💜 Screen Recorder, Perfect for sending “quick” tutorials that somehow turn into full-blown TED Talks.

💜 WhatFont, because when I see a beautiful font, I need to know what it is immediately.

💜 GoFullPage, my secret weapon for capturing full-page screenshots, great for showing clients how fabulous their website looks (or where it needs a little TLC).

Your turn, what’s your most-used Chrome extension? I’m always up for finding new digital toys!

I’ve realised recently… I hardly Google anything anymore, I just ChatGPT it.

It hit me the other day how much that’s changed the way we all search for things.
People aren’t just using ChatGPT for fun anymore, they’re using it instead of Google.

So if that’s how people are finding information now…
how do you make sure your business shows up in those answers? 🤔

It all comes back to your online presence, your website, your reviews, your content, your digital footprint.
That’s what tools like ChatGPT are learning from.

At Purple Octopus, we’re already helping clients adapt their SEO for this new era of search, so they’re visible whether someone’s asking Google or asking AI.

The way people find you is changing fast… is your business ready for it?

👇 I’m curious — do you still “Google it”… or are you guilty of ChatGPT-ing everything too?

Chill out!

Honestly… if your marketing is stressing you out, it’s time to step back and breathe.

I get it. Between running the business, juggling clients, and trying to think of one more thing to post, it’s a lot. But that’s literally why I do what I do. 💜🐙

So go run the bath, pour yourself something bubbly, and let me handle the strategy, content, ads, all the bits that make marketing feel like a full-time job.

You deserve to relax knowing it’s getting done properly. 😉

Marketing your business is easy....
Let’s be honest – marketing can feel overwhelming.

SEO, funnels, pixels, content, algorithms…
It’s like learning a new language just to get someone to notice your business.

But here’s the truth: You don’t need to try and juggle everything.
You just need to do a few things well — consistently.

Here are 3 simple things you can start doing this week:

1️⃣ Talk to your audience like a human.
Post something you'd actually say in real life. Lose the robotic tone.

2️⃣ Show your personality.
People connect with people, not faceless brands. Share a behind-the-scenes moment, a win (or a wobble), or something real from your day — it builds trust far quicker than a glossy sales pitch. (as you can see from our videos... glossy is not how we see ourselves..)

3️⃣ Pick one channel and get consistent.
Stop trying to do Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, email, AND a podcast all at once. Nail one first.

No magic. No marketing degree needed.
Just showing up, being real, and being useful.

“We just need some help with social media…”

That’s how most conversations start.

But when I dig deeper, it’s rarely just about social media.
I look at what will actually grow the business, whether that’s Ads, SEO, Email, or something else entirely.

My proposals often map out a full strategy, costed by element so clients can choose what fits their budget.

And almost every time, I hear:

“We didn’t even think about that!”

Exactly. Because that’s my job, and my passion.
Not just doing marketing, but thinking strategically about how everything works together.

And yes, I’ve been doing that first strategic step for all businesses… for free. 😅

🚀 SEO + Social =The power duo you can’t ignore in 2026

Let’s be real... SEO and Social Media have always been a bit awkward together.
They nod politely in the corridor, maybe share a like here and there, but proper teamwork? Not so much.

That’s about to change.

We’ve put together a new blog all about how SEO and Social can really work hand-in-hand to get your brand seen by the right people (and actually drive traffic that converts).

Inside you’ll find:
✅ How social signals impact search
✅ What kind of posts can boost your rankings
✅ How to use keyword insights to create better content
✅ And the secret to making both channels work together without doubling your workload

If your SEO and social teams barely speak, this one’s for you.

In my experience, SEO is fantastic for building long-term visibility — but it’s not quick. It takes months of consistent effort before you see real movement in rankings.

So if a client comes to me and says, “We need to be visible for these keywords right now”… my answer is simple: Google Ads.

With a well-structured PPC campaign, you can show up at the very top of search results within hours, for exactly the keywords your customers are typing in.

It’s fast, targeted, and measurable — but only if you set it up properly:
✅ Focus on high-intent keywords — the ones that signal someone’s ready to buy or book.
✅ Make sure your landing page matches the ad and makes it easy to take action.
✅ Keep reviewing and refining to reduce wasted spend.

For me, PPC is one of the fastest routes to online visibility. But make sure you are meeting your customers' expectations exactly when they land on your site, otherwise it's just a wasted click.

Are you that busy fool?
Most businesses aren’t failing because they’re doing nothing. They’re failing because they’re doing lots of things that don’t talk to each other.

- Social media without email follow-up.
- Ads without retargeting.
- Networking without a system for staying in touch.

Try this instead:
✅ When you post on social, drive people to something valuable — a guide, a checklist, a free consultation — so you can capture their details.
✅ Have an automated welcome sequence that nurtures those new leads.
✅ Follow up personally with anyone who engages — even if it’s just a quick voice note or personalised email.

Random acts of marketing get random results. Joined-up marketing gets sales.

I write a lot of content — for clients, for my own marketing, for proposals — and here’s the truth: even the best writers make mistakes.

That’s why I always keep Grammarly in my toolkit.

It’s not just about catching typos (though it’s great at that). For me, it’s about making sure every piece of copy is clear, professional, and easy to read before it goes out.

Here’s how I use it:
✅ Error check – Spots the little grammar and spelling slips my eyes miss.
✅ Tone check – Helps me make sure I’m striking the right voice for the audience.
✅ Clarity suggestions – Cuts out waffle and makes sentences flow better.

I don’t rely on it to write for me — but I do rely on it to make sure what I’ve written represents me and my clients at their best.

In business, your words are often the first impression. But don't be mistaken, we are all human and we all do make mistakes at times. It's OK.

We do not have money for marketing...

You Don’t Need to Break the Piggy Bank - You Need a Plan
Marketing doesn’t need to cost a fortune.
You don’t need £10k a month, a videographer, and a social media intern named Becky. (Shout out to all Becky's)

You just need some clarity.

Here’s a basic plan anyone can follow with a modest budget:

✅ Start with ONE clear goal.
More leads? More traffic? More bookings? Don’t try to do all three at once.

✅ Choose 2 tactics MAX.
E.g. LinkedIn + Email Newsletter. Or SEO + Google Ads. Keep it lean.

✅ Post consistently.
Even once a week is better than once in a blue moon.

✅ Track what’s working.
If no one’s opening your emails - change the subject lines. If no one’s clicking your ads - maybe the offer’s off. Adjust as you go.

There’s no shame in keeping it small - just keep it smart.

🍰 I LOVE CAKE!
In thinking of cake, I thought of this post.... Ever been to an all-you-can-eat buffet and ended up with curry next to pizza next to cake? That’s what a lot of marketing strategies look like.

Instead, think of it like a recipe:
🥄 Choose your ingredients carefully — the right mix of channels for your audience.
📏 Measure — don’t over-invest in one tactic at the expense of the others.
🔥 Combine at the right time — follow up while interest is hot.

The goal isn’t to try a bit of everything. It’s to blend the right things into something people can’t wait to buy.

What's your favourite cake? Mine's coffee and walnut.. absolutely nothing to do with marketing, just interested and feeding my cake obsession 😜 🍰
