In order to establish relevant services to suit your goals we research networks appropriate to our clients offerings and brand. This helps us understand what the current conversations, best practices and strategies are.

We delve deeper into these networks to understand where their audiences hang out online, that audience's respected sources of information, and with which online services they currently engage.

We then identify the gaps, needs and opportunites online, in order to create the best digital platforms, strategies and solutions. Our clients choose us because we provide experienced knowledge in digital spheres, lowering the risk of them missing opportunities online and in digital media.

Our results based design approach to web-design has seen us incorporate our user testing methodology and post launch metrics, to highlight opportunites in real time.

Our websites and other social web platforms are delivered by carrying out a range of well-proven user centred design methodologies that identify how to increase conversions, participation, achieve viral growth spread and generate positive brand reactions, positive buzz and conversations.

Digital Education

Often great web designers and developers get great jobs and end up working in that job for several years. In those years, they work very hard for their respective companies. However, for a large number of those designers and developers, the last thing they want to do when they go home is to sit and research the latest changes in the digital sector. Microwave offers a "Top-up" consultancy package for those who feel the digital landscape has become an unknown place.

Digital Evaluation

Digital strategies, especially websites, have around a 2 year lifespan. However companies do not always see that a website is more that just a brochure for their brand. What we can offer is a review of this digital setup compared with your immediate goals. We can then provide a report with recommendations for immediate success and improvement, and long term suggestions.

Metrics & Analytics

Your metrics say a lot about who is doing what on your website and in your digital strategy. However if you are tracking these, it is hard to read and extract the key information needed to understand where improvements can be made. We can offer these insights into who and what is going through your sites.

Applications

We get excited about making new digital applications and widgets. We enjoy every step of the creative process from inital brain-storm to final sign-off. We implement applications for our users to deliver their brand in a new light or to new audiences. Our widgets enable our clients to deliver their content or offerings directly to those that want to receive.

Web Design

Web 2.0 has revolutionalised how we look at web design. Microwave Media will help you upgrade, or completely revamp your digital presence. We will tell you about all of the latest and greatest web-gadgets and make sure that your website has a social presence as well as an aesthetic design and great usability.

Web Development

We can manage both in-house and off-shore development. Our experienced project-management team can help monitor, support and bug-fix any digital project that you throw at us. We consider the main fault of digital agencies is to over-promise and under-deliver and so we strive to provide our clients with honest and realistic goals that make commercial sense.

Social Media Games

The social landscape has become a playground and social games are one of the latest web-trends that have started grouping everyone together. When a social game is married with a brand or a product launch, then the viral branding potential is enormous.

Social Media Applications

Social media applications and Connect sites are now a must-have for online social marketing. There really should be no excuse, in a world where the web extends into every aspect of life; every website should have some type of social extension.

Wireframes

Before starting any project, we take time to develop its concept. After this concept has been agreed, we translate its content into an Information Architecture or wireframes. These are content outlines of the site, they help us to discuss and talk through how users will use your site/application, and where the content should be arranged, before everybody gets excited about design. We can help with wireframes of any project - even if we don't end up making it!

Social Media Strategy

Everything is viral now and everything is social. It is so easy to spread a web-link to 1000 friends on Facebook or email all of your friends a funny you-tube clip. Microwave Digital looks at social media not as a small part of brand-communication but brand-communication as a whole. By understanding specific goals we can create a short or long term strategy to realise this with effective social media tools.

Social Network Development

With considerable experience in the clubbing and leisure sector, Microwave Media has developed original and powerful ways to develop social networks. Let us make your friends for you, and generate key areas for your audiences to join the conversation.

Social & Online PR

People talk. If your brand is being talked about, don't you want to know? We can create a solution for you to manage your online image as effectively as your offline. We can then deliver your audiences to you so you can leverage these hot spots of communication for your goals.

Audience Analysis

You know who your general audience are, but do you really know who the individuals are? In the real world people dont want to feel like a number and the closer you get, the more personal the message. Social Networking has made the world a closer place where any brand can speak directly with their customers.

Search Engine Optimisation

Let people find you! Make sure you have a solid Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy. People use specific keywords, but unless you know how to plan for the long term, your competitiors who are already at the top of the list will stay there!

Blogs

Blogs are key to generating your regular forums of discussion. We see a blog as an opportunity for you to get your message out to your audiences, and also to increase your brand image as an expert. This expert content is what your audiences are looking for online, and it's this content that will provoke honest feedback. We devise, aid and monitor this blog writing and setup.

Profile Pages

With Facebook's targets now locked on reaching 1 billion members, Facebook profile pages are becoming more and more important. Audiences can actually "become a fan" of a brand on Facebook. This profile activity can be monitored, managed and more importantly nurtured and grown. Let us help you with this!

Content Writing

We believe the best way of gaining an audience's trust is to feed them with interesting content that is easy for them to digest. We will help you do this, so that it not only stops you force feeding corporate messages on deaf ears, but actually generates feedback from your audiences.

Social Implementation

So you have an SEO strategy and a list of keywords, right? Well just placing them in your website code won't make much difference in the long run. We help you tag, categorise and include SEO aiding keywords throughout your website.
