The Latest b4b News and Marketing Industry Insights

August is traditionally the month where inboxes get quieter, out-of-offices multiply and everyone collectively agrees to pick things up in September. The solar eclipse may have been a slight disappointment if you forgot the glasses, but things at b4b certainly weren’t. Momentum picked up considerably this month, with seven new websites going live, new clients coming on board and plenty happening across marketing, software, media and promotions. Apparently, […]

July gave the nation its annual dose of Wimbledon, that peculiar fortnight where the whole country pretends to understand tennis scoring, eats more strawberries than the rest of the year combined, and collectively agrees not to mention the weather, win or lose. Jannik Sinner lifted the trophy, someone got engaged on Centre Court, and somewhere […]

35°C, a Met Office red warning across Dorset, and the hottest June day on record.

Easter chocolate for breakfast. An office full of hot cross b4buns. A space programme that lasted approximately 24 hours. April had the lot. Between the seasonal chaos, the team launched four new websites, celebrated five workiversaries, published two blogs, shot at Merley House (not like that!), recorded a crackin’ podcast episode, and welcomed a new baby into the b4b family. April was also the month our new website design offer went live, the Agency […]

AI is accelerating. Attention is harder to earn. And for businesses everywhere, efficiency is no longer optional (especially now the ruddy clocks have gone forward). From website launches built to convert to campaigns that deliver measurable results, we’ve focused this March on helping businesses operate more effectively and grow with clarity. Our upcoming AI Workshop at TradePod explores how to reduce admin and streamline day-to-day operations, while TradePod itself marks its first year supporting […]

Roses are red, violets are blue . . . Instagram’s changed again, and AI’s trending too (when is it not?!). One minute, everyone’s testing AI caricatures for Valentine’s Day, and the next, Reels gets an update that changes how people move through your content. Fortunately, we know that trends move fast, and platforms evolve even faster, so staying visible means staying curious. Alongside the digital shifts, we launched new websites, continued long-standing client work (including […]

January never eases anyone in, especially down here in Dorset. We’ve got cold mornings, grey skies, Blue Monday on the calendar. Floods that turned commutes into white water rafting. Still, here at b4b, we keep the wheels moving. We all showed up, got stuck in, and kept our projects progressing.  We kicked off 2026 with new website launches, long-standing client work, […]

Ho-ho-ho-hows about that? In December, Anthony Tilley, our Managing Director, was awarded The Osborne Award by peer2peer. More on that later, but what a standout way to close the year on a high, and what a year it’s been!  From the b4b Apprentice in April, to muddy miles for charity in June and July, our summer party on the water in September, and a Dragons’ Den investment win […]
