📣 Exciting news from the Woody's Lodge Normandy Battlefield Tour 2023!

Day 1 was nothing short of incredible, and we're bursting with pride for our very own Sarah, the Director of ONCREE! 👏

But that's not all we're proud of! A big shout-out to Masons Moving Group, one of our clients, for being a sponsor and providing one of their remarkable 12-ton trucks. 🚛

Masons Moving Group have a long-standing commitment to the veteran community and Welsh charities like Woody’s Lodge. Their founder, Eric Mason, served in the Royal Air Force (RAF), and his dedication to supporting the military has shaped their company’s values. As a veteran himself, Eric devoted a considerable part of his life to aiding the RAF with personnel relocations in the UK and Europe.

Along with his wife, Esme Mason, they dedicated their lives to running Masons Removals, working tirelessly to provide exceptional service to all their customers, including those who served Wales.

Well done, Mason's! 👍

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to pay tribute to our heroes and explore the historic battlefields of Normandy.

What do KFC, Michelin, & Duracell have in common? 🤔
They all have iconic brand mascots who have become the loveable, approachable, friendly faces of the brands they represent.
Using mascots or characters to embody the values, vision, & identities of companies is a centuries-old marketing strategy that simply works. 👏

So why do so many businesses, both big & small, choose to appear “characterless”, especially on digital platforms like emails?

How often do you skip over email newsletters or promos because they’re boring & lack personality? 😴
Your customers likely feel the same …

The great part about email marketing is you don’t have to invest a big amount to create your own “Duracell Bunny” or “Colonel Sanders”
Instead, create emails from a character or person at your company …
And don’t forget to give them a cool title, too. 😎

Need help crafting emails with a character that connects with your audience? Our marketing experts at ONCREE are here to help. Give us a call today.

There’s no denying that everywhere you turn, a product, service or idea is trying to be sold to you. And now, with technology, this happens in the palm of your hand. For business owners, your marketing ads can easily get lost amid advertising noise as thousands of similar businesses fight to be noticed and heard.🥊

But did you know that most marketing messages get lost in the abyss of the internet, never to be uncovered? You may be asking, how do I avoid this? We have one word for you - creative! Messaging and visuals with that undeniable creative spark gives you the edge in an online world where the competition is never-ending. 
Creative is compelling. It grabs and maintains your audience’s attention, ensuring your ads are noticed by those scrolling through their busy feed.

However, for the best results, great creative needs to be matched with accurate targeting. Using the latest technology and data tools, you need to reach a large number of consumers to ensure enough eyes fall on your ads. After all, only consumers exposed to an ad can be influenced.💁‍♀️

In other words, creativity sparks excitement while targeted makes it relevant to your audience. Ultimately when these two factors work together, your audience is more likely to be engaged and converted.

If it is time to drown out the noise and stand out from the crowd, ONCREE is the key. We create thumb-stopping marketing ads that move people, start conversations and ignite the desired action. It’s not just about making them click - it’s also about connecting through the creative. Contact us today if you need big ideas combined with strategic targeting.

It’s time to unlock the magic of creative!🧙💫
