We have become members of the B1G1 Charity
We have made the commitment, over and above our annual member fees to help support the running costs of the charity, to give something ‘Organic’ for every ‘Digital’ sale.
We are delighted to announce that we have become a business member of the B1G1 (Buy 1 Give 1) Charity which gives businesses the ability to help support over 600 projects around the world.
B1G1 moves giving from an ad-hoc, event-driven model to a very specific transaction-based giving model — a world where every transaction gives back and makes a difference.
A little bit about B1G1
Buy1GIVE1 and B1G1 Giving:
B1G1′s operations are structured to provide maximum transparency and effectiveness:
Buy1GIVE1 is a social enterprise established in 2007 (headquartered in Singapore). It supports, inspires and educates businesses globally.
B1G1 Giving is a Not-for-Profit Society registered and regulated in Singapore. It supports many other charity organisations around the world to create sustainable contribution models.
100% of contributions made by B1G1 Businesses are passed directly to the Worthy Cause organisations through B1G1 Giving. B1G1 takes nothing from the contributions nor does it receive funds from charities in any way for the services it provides.

What a testimonial!
Many thanks to our client Cruise Loch Lomond for the following testimonial, we enjoyed working with them too!
“In 2010 Cruise Loch Lomond were keen to create a new website that would maintain the profile of the Company as one of Scotland’s leading Visitor Attractions, particularly through SEO; to make better use of imagery to sell the unique location and growing number of cruise products to a variety of cruise markets; as well as integrating an enquiries and booking system that would increase sales and reduce administration costs. The Company received the recommendation from a colleague in the Tourism sector working for a hotel chain in Glasgow who had previously used Organic Digital.
A successful rapport was established early on with the Organic team through a mutual understanding of the project objectives, clear lines of communication and regular meetings.
The Company’s Directors are delighted with the return on investment of the new website in particular online sales as well as generating a greater volume of enquiries, which coupled with substantial savings on administration.
Cruise Loch Lomond would have no hesitation in recommending Organic Digital and have since recruited the company to carry out a branding and marketing collateral project for new promotional material and a marketing campaign. The Company were thrilled to learn that Organic Digital had received the Summit International accolade and feel it was very well deserved.”

Our website gets a Silver award
Our website has been awarded a Silver award from Nodus which rates websites based primarily on their design excellence.We achieved a score of 12 out of 16.
The program was started to acknowledge the existence of talented individuals or groups, and to show appreciation by providing them with the publicity they deserve. The Nodus Awards is an international program and combines both reviews and awards from the organisation itself but also users and members.
We are of course happy with a Silver award however as always we strive to do better so will be aiming for a Gold award when we next re-develop the site! That is reserved to less than 10% of the websites submitted so it won’t be easy!

We achieve RAR rating again
We have achieved RAR (Recommended Agency Register) Recommended status for another year which show’s the high quality of our services and level of customer satisfaction. This award is only afforded to companies who achieve a rating of over 80% from their clients via an independent questionnaire covering everything from creativity through to planning and customer service.
We achieved 91% last year and have built on this over the past 12 months with a new rating of 93% which put us in the running for a recommendation for one of the RAR awards however we narrowly missed out to some great agencies from across the country.
The good thing about the awards as well is we receive good feedback about where we can improve as an agency, which is something we are working on to try and enhance our rating even further.
Thanks again to all our clients, we couldn’t have done it without you!

New Cruise Loch Lomond brand & website is launched
We have just launched the new Cruise Loch Lomond website, encompassing a new brand that we developed for them. The aim of the project was to give the company a new, up to date brand which would carry them forward giving them a fresh, clean new image.
The website itself highlights the main selling point of the cruise experience; loch lomond and its tremendous scenery. The website needed to properly represent this which we hope it has done, as well as be an information source for all the company’s main target markets.
A big thank you to Stuart and Marie Cordner for appointing us to undertake the project and trusting us with the project, even when we tried to push the boundaries at times! We have now been tasked with designing some print advertising and their new brochure so we look forward to continuing to work with this client for some time to come.
