Mackerel Media is an independent digital marketing company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We we specialise in helping clients realise maximum return from their internet investment by delivering the right kind of people to their web sites.
Our Approach
We’re fanatical about giving our clients fantastic service, the best advice and the right work. We know that the best results come from long-term relationships, and those comes from working with people you like.
We build relationships with our clients based on honesty and openness. We talk to them in a straightforward way, cutting out the jargon wherever possible.
Who We Are
The company was formed by Nick Craig, a digital marketing and strategy professional with over 8 years’ experience in helping clients achieve the most from their investment in the internet.
Nick established *greenparka, a leading web design and development agency he had the privilege of heading up for 7 years. In that time he ran many projects in House Building, Estate Agency, Drinks, Financial Services, Travel, FMCG, Professional Services, Technology, Commercial Property, Higher Education, Publishing and Not-for-Profit.
Nick built his first web site in his university dorm in 1995, when an image on the net was a rarity and a home page took half an hour to download. Unfortunately he didn’t have anywhere to host the web site so it sat for ever more on his Apple Powerbook 1400cs, which now sits gathering dust in his box room. It does still work - if anyone’s interested in a 13-year-old laptop with a tiny screen and a whiny hard drive, get in touch!
Our Colleagues
We believe strongly in sticking to what we know and as such avoid carrying out design and development work in-house. We work with a number of digital agencies and a several excellent freelance designers and developers to deliver design, build and hosting services to our clients.
With a broad pool of providers available to us, we are able to select and engage the most relevant and effective team for our clients: an uncommonly sensible approach in our view!
If you’re interested in working with us, drop us a line and tell us a bit about yourselves.
Our Technical Knowledge
We believe that our deep technical knowledge gives us an edge many of our competitors simply don’t have. We know our CSS from our RSS, our Linux from our IIS, our DNS from our CMS, our HTML from our XML and our Flex from our Flash. That’s an astonishing seven acronyms in one sentence - brilliant!
As marketing on the internet becomes more complex, and as the relationship between technology and marketing becomes ever more intertwined, we believe this knowledge is essential for success.
