Clare Twiss, Marketing Manager for M&J Seafood explained, “By working closely with Sleeping Giant Media from the beginning, to ensure they have a thorough . understanding of our objectives and our customers, they now drive the activity for us. This is invaluable for us, as we have complete confidence that the activity is delivering the required results with minimal day-to-day impact on our small internal team. We see Sleeping Giant Media as an extension to our marketing team.

Clare believes that in an increasingly competitive business environment, the ability for companies to be able to engage with digital marketing is essential. “It is the future,” she says, “and businesses cannot afford to take their eye off the ball of this vital medium.” She says it’s particularly relevant in the food trade, and favoured by many chefs who, because of thee nature of their jobs, are not tied down to computers on a daily basis, instead choosing to keep in touch via their smartphones. “This type of connectivity is part of their life,” she explains. “Increasingly, young chefs are very proactive on Twitter so having a presence tailored to these customers is vital. WE only see the use of Twitter increasing among our core clients, so having a portal, and a partner we can trust, to deliver this is essential.”
