b4b News – August Roundup 2025

U Drink 

U Drink, Dorset’s trusted water supplier, has gone nationwide, and their new site shows it. It emphasises their price-match promise, speedy delivery, and family-focused service. This approach enables them to stand out as a UK leader while upholding their independent values. Now they’re ready to support more customers than ever. And their digital refresh has made it easier for businesses across the UK to keep hydrated and energised.  

Longévité Clinic 

Wellness, but make it digital. The new Longévité Clinic site delivers a digital experience as refreshing as their IV therapies. The site streamlines booking. It provides tailored treatments, advanced diagnostics, and case studies, which boost user confidence. Its modern design, paired with holistic care, helps guide every visitor toward renewal and vitality. 

St Neots & District Indoor Bowls Club 

St Neots & District Indoor Bowls Club now has a sleek website powered by Bowlr’s club management system. This integration has helped make their rink bookings and updates seamless. The club is known for its national titles and England internationals, but it also serves as a key community hub. They welcome charities, care homes, and members of all levels to enjoy both the sport and the social spaces. 

Whether it’s water to wellness, sports to software, these launches demonstrate how great design brings stories to life. Our Web Design & Development team builds sites that connect, convert, and keep your business moving. 

Synaptics Energy Solutions 

We were thrilled to launch a brand-new site for Synaptics Energy Solutions. This HVAC engineering contractor has a knack for solving building challenges others shy away from. Their new site now reflects the scale and quality of their work, from retrofitting listed buildings to complete M&E packages. 

Jon Buxton summed it up perfectly in his Google Review: 

“Working with b4b has been an amazing process, right from the initial meeting to our website going live. Matt has been awesome to work with, his eye for detail when it comes to the site build has been outstanding. The whole team at b4b are great, very professional and really know their stuff. We're looking forward to the results!” 

We loved bringing Jon’s vision to life and look forward to continuing the journey as Synaptics1 joins us for ongoing marketing support. 

Carpet Barn & The Bedstore 

August also marked 10 incredible years of partnership with Carpet Barn & The Bedstore. For over 45 years, their family-run team has been helping households across Dorset, Hampshire, and beyond. As the South’s go-to supplier for carpets, flooring, and beds, we’ve stood by each other’s side for a decade, and that speaks volumes. Celebrating this milestone with Carpet Barn feels less like business and more like raising a toast with old friends. Here’s to the next ten!

ProStar Energy 

This month, we packed up the cameras and headed to Meon Springs with ProStar Energy, specialists in solar installations. The mission was to capture a client testimonial. And from us to you, nothing builds trust like hearing directly from satisfied customers. In the Hampshire countryside, we captured real customers discussing their affection for ProStar. The finished video gives them a powerful tool that builds trust and credibility faster than any sales pitch.  

Hospitality Rewards 

Next up, it was lights, camera, action in our in-house studio for Hospitality Rewards. They wanted more awareness, more engagement, and leads that count. Easy, right? Well, the campaign smashed it, and generated over 400,000 impressions, 3,142 clicks, and 195 website leads. This right here is proof that when creative storytelling meets sharp paid strategy, results are sure to follow. After all, ads shouldn’t just run, but perform; and this one ran like a dream. 

Hot Rocks 

For Hot Rocks, we hit Bournemouth seafront to deliver premium photo and video content and fuel their latest social campaigns. From behind-the-scenes captures to polished edits, we bottled up the restaurant’s seaside energy. We snapped everything from wood-fired pizzas, cocktails by the pier, and that unbeatable sunset backdrop. Managed end-to-end by our team, the campaigns brought Hot Rocks’ iconic summer vibe straight to their followers’ feeds.

Instagram Posts in Google Search 

Big news hit the digital world this month: Instagram Posts are now appearing in Google Search. That means more visibility, more clicks, and more chances for your brand to be discovered outside the app. In our latest explainer video, we broke down exactly what this update means, why it matters for SEO, and how you can stay ahead. So think of your Instagram feed as more than just a social scroll and as a new feature in your Google shop window. The sharper your content, the bigger the impact. 

LinkedIn Ads 

LinkedIn has claimed the top spot in B2B marketing. With 44.6 million members in the UK and 1 billion worldwide, it stands out as the best platform for lead generation. In our latest blog and video, we showed how to master objectives, targeting, and creative formats. This includes everything from Sponsored Content to Carousel Ads. We also explained why LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms can achieve up to 5× better conversions. 

From new SEO opportunities to smarter ad campaigns, we’re here to keep your brand ahead of the curve. Want strategies that actually work? Explore our Digital Marketing services and let’s build something brilliant. 

APIs Explained 

Ever wondered how your apps actually talk to each other? That’s the magic of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). These silent translators power everything from online payments to delivery tracking. In our latest blog, we explained how APIs save time, reduce errors, and enable your systems to scale without the headaches. Think of them as the backstage crew of your digital world: invisible, but oh-so essential.

Round-the-clock support without round-the-clock staff? That’s the power of AI Chatbots. In our latest blog, we explored how they deliver instant answers, handle repetitive queries, and free up your team for high-value work. Even better, they capture real insights from every conversation. This helps businesses improve their products, marketing, and service design.

Beyond the office, she’s an artist specialising in pet portraits, a proud ‘Pier to Pier’ swim finisher, and a traveller with a soft spot for New Zealand.

Here’s to Abbie, and to all the legends who keep this place tickety-boo. Fancy joining the crew? We’re hiring . . . 😉 

Après Provence at The Nici 

Luxury deserves details that linger. When Après Provence hosted their luxury event at The Nici, Bournemouth, every detail had to exude style, and our team delivered. We created custom-branded pillowcases that turned every lounge setting into a stylish statement. It’s a small touch, but the perfect example of how thoughtful branding elevates an experience and makes it unforgettable for every guest.  

Back to School Starter Pack 

The start of term is always a big moment, and our Back to School Starter Pack made it one to remember. From personalised bags and pencil cases to water bottles, notebooks, and clothing, every item came with a name and a smile. Great for schools, parents, and organisations wanting essentials that blend practicality and personality.  

Golf Threads 

With our customised Golf Threads collection, brands can look as sharp as their swing. This apparel blends performance fabrics with stylish branding. It’s ideal for corporate golf days, team events, or anyone wanting to stand out on the green. It’s comfort, style, and visibility rolled into one with branding that swings as confidently as your drive. 

Whether you’re after bespoke apparel, custom giveaways, or brand touches that stick long after the event, we’ve got you covered. Our Promotions team helps businesses turn moments into memories. 

Asbury Heating Charity Golf Day 

This August, our Senior Account Manager, Toby McConnell, swapped the office for the fairways at Remedy Oak. Here, he joined the Charity Golf Day hosted by Asbury Heating Maintenance. In support of the Stable Family Home Trust, the event was a winning mix of sunshine, networking, and 18 holes. Best of all, it took place alongside Dan Stratten (Asbury), Luke Williams (Bizpedia), and Alistair Law (Garner Associates LLP). Great golf, great company, and a brilliant cause. That’s a leaderboard we love to see. 

Poole Speedway 

Engines roared, the crowd cheered, and the Poole Pirates took on the Plymouth Gladiators in our annual trip to Poole Speedway. Clients and friends joined us for an action-packed evening of racing, skill, and high-octane atmosphere. As long-time supporters, it’s a tradition we circle on the calendar every year. 2025 once again delivered speed, camaraderie, and community spirit in spades.
