Working with Glasgow businesses
A real person, focused on getting you seen.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based digital marketer. I work with businesses across New Zealand and the United Kingdom, getting them found online and winning more work in markets where standing out is half the battle. With 15+ years in the trades and over a decade running my own business behind me, I get what small local businesses need.
I’m not based in Glasgow, but everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with someone who actually does the work himself, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and its commercial and creative heart, with strengths in finance and professional services, engineering, media and a thriving hospitality and trades scene. From the West End and Merchant City out through Shawlands and Dennistoun to surrounding towns like Paisley, East Kilbride and Hamilton and the villages beyond, customers search locally for services near them. In a big, competitive market, a strong local presence is what wins the work.
