Social Media

I’m Chris and I set up Crest Social back in 2014.

A love of marketing, a keen interest in technology and helping businesses succeed were key drivers to my going out alone, and I have never looked back.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping multiple clients improve their social media and digital marketing presence.

Some clients have been with me since day one, so I must be doing something right, although once you take social media off someone’s plate, it’s very rare they want it back!

I have always had a love of all things marketing and have studied it at every level, culminating in my degree and postgraduate diploma from the Chartered Institute of Marketing – the highest professional qualification.

Being part of The Marketing Seed allows me to not only improve my offering but also gives me the pleasure of working with other freelancers and small business owners with the same passion for helping businesses succeed whilst at the same time offering skills, knowledge and experience in other areas of marketing.

Branding

Hello, I’m Lee Taylor, owner of Lee Matthew Creative.

My role is to ensure you to get your message across: to help you communicate to your intended audience, whether that be via an inspirational logo, great leaflets or perhaps a pop-up banner – or any combination of these and a wide range of other creative tools that will aid your business to grow.

Over the past dozen or so years, I’ve been able to help businesses and charities around the Cheshire and Staffordshire area with projects as small as a business card supply, as large as a major corporate rebrand and a full design for an exhibition stand. My clients are typically local businesses, both new and well established, and charities that are represented in our area.

I’m really excited to be part of The Marketing Seed. By collaborating with other specialists, I’m able to provide “pick 'n' mix” services to my clients, bringing together the expertise of all marketing disciplines so that the client receives a joined-up, great value and very high quality marketing experience.

Melanie Cotton

Proofreader

Hello, I’m Melanie.

I'm a former languages teacher, fearless mountain climber, and gimlet-eyed grammar tickler®.

After 25 years of teaching, I know how to communicate effectively and give helpful feedback. I always work to the brief, and I’ve never missed a deadline – it’s the ideal skill set to become a highly accomplished and proficient proofreader.

I work with independent publishers, self-publishing authors and businesses of many sizes, but all have one common goal: to provide valuable, high-quality content to their audience.

My motto is clarity, communication and consistency.

Do your clients understand what you mean? Are you giving relevant information? Do you always use the same language, in the same way, everywhere?

I can check for all that.

I’m your helper and your extra pair of eyes. I catch typos, grammar errors and punctuation slips that have evaded your best efforts. I wrestle with sentence structure to improve readability so you can reveal your best work – every time.

You should consider hiring my services if you want to:
- look like an authority in your field
- have peace of mind when pressing send or publish
- save time and get on with running your business.
