Pick and Mix Marketing celebrates fourth birthday

Pick & Marketing Solutions, a digital marketing company, has marked its fourth birthday with a string of new client wins and a milestone in social media posts.

The York-based company, which celebrates its fourth birthday this month, was founded by managing director Sally Trousdale.

Sally started Pick & Mix Marketing Solutions alone in 2011 from a desk at home and with just one client on the books – electrical contractor Adrian Smith; the company now has a three-strong team plus a pool of specialist associates in PR, copywriting, design, SEO and digital advertising.

Clients include Browns Department Store, kitchen specialists Landau Parapan and the Bishy Road Traders Association. Pick & Mix has further boosted its client base with the recent additions of estate agency Churchills and the Alice Hawthorn Inn, as well as Matthew Smith, son of Sally’s first client, with his new electrical business.

Pick & Mix recently posted its 30,000th social media post - a Tweet on the news that Bishy Road has been shortlisted for the Great British High Street Award.

Sally Trousdale, managing director, said: “I started Pick & Mix Marketing Solutions after recognising that many businesses were struggling to find the marketing support they needed especially around social media and needed more than just a ‘one size fits all’ marketing approach. With the additions of new clients and staff, 2015 has been a brilliant year so far and I’m so proud to be celebrating the company’s fourth anniversary.”

“Pick & Mix has evolved and has some exciting projects ahead, but the aim of working closely with all clients to help them reach new audiences, especially through the use of social media is still at the very heart of everything we do. It’s brilliant, and rewarding, to know that the son of my very first client has now become my very latest client!”

In 2015, the Pick & Mix team has provided training to more than 600 businesses on social media, enjoyed client campaign success, including social media growth and sales increase and provided more than 200 hours of volunteered support to the local community.
