Northumberland Sport are one of 45 regional sport partnerships operating across England. As a County Sport Partnership (CSP), they are funded by Sport England to deliver specific projects on their behalf.

M Media & Design (mm&d) successfully won a tender process and were appointed by Northumberland Sport to design and develop a new website for the CSP.

The mission of Northumberland Sport is to lead the strategic development of sport and physical activity in Northumberland to enable people to become more active. This mission was an underlying theme for the website and needed to be in consideration at all phases of the website project.

The brief was to drive meaningful and responsive connections to a wide range of audience demographics, ensuring they find the website navigation easy to use. Key pages and projects would be prominent on all pages of the website.

Previously the site wasn’t easy to navigate and crucially the site wasn’t responsible to mobile phone and tablet devices. Over recent years the way users view websites has changed considerably and it was important the mobile viewing experience was central to design considerations.

Another key feature of the new website would be the integration of a club and activity finder. This module had been built as a stand-alone website for a partnership of North East-based CSPs. Tees Valley Sport, County Durham Sport, Tyne and Wear Sport and Northumberland Sport had collaborated together to form a central database where users can find a nearby club of activity. mm&d were then appointed to build the website (www.getactivenortheast.co.uk).

Data would need to feed from the stand alone site and into the new Northumberland Sport site. This would need to be seamless to the front-end user and would not require them to leave the site.

There would be other important sections to the site such as a sports directory, meet the team pages and social media integration. Kaye Scott, Business and Marketing Officer, Northumberland Sport:

It was a pleasure to work with the team at mm&d. The design skills of the team were a breath of fresh air and we feel we now have a website that meets the needs of our customers as well as presenting the work of Northumberland Sport in the right way.”

Sport continues to be a major area of focus for mm&d. Alongside education and engineering, sport is one of the main areas of marketing expertise the agency offers.

We were delighted to be appointed by Northumberland Sport to work on their new website. Over the years we have worked with several CSPs around the country on various design projects, but this was our first CSP website.

We are really pleased with the outcome and the feedback we have had from Northumberland Sport has been great.”

A large part of the work carried out by M Media & Design (mm&d) involves working with start-up companies and providing marketing support for their launch.  Formed in 2005, mm&d have supported hundreds of Teesside-based businesses set-up and start trading.

With a free consultation, mm&d meet with new businesses to discuss ideas and their initial requirements. This can vary considerably, from a sole trader making the decision to go it alone, or a group of partners starting a new business. Often the initial step is creating a brand that will be used across a range of mediums to promote the business. Owain Jenkins, Business Development Manager, mm&d:

We understand starting a new business can be stressful. There are lots of tasks to do before any sales can be made. Over the years we have worked with such a varied range of start-ups we feel we can offer valuable advise to start-ups.

Each business is different and we can create bespoke packages to suit the clients needs.”

mm&d offer a range of start-up business packages which include branding and logo design, website design, business cards and other stationary. Social Media is often a key tool for a start-up business looking to gain profile in the local community and mm&d can also assist with this.

Recently mm&d supported Stockton-based Hartburn Lofts and Extensions with a range of marketing support. Chris Newman, Managing Director, Hartburn Lofts & Extensions;

Making the decision to start my own business was a big step. Whilst I have a wealth of experience in the building trade, marketing was something new to me.

The team at mm&d have been very supportive, helping create a fantastic brand that stands out and also offered new ideas to promote the business. I am receiving lots of enquiries which is down to the literature produced by mm&d.”

Another to benefit from the mm&d’s knowledge of start-up marketing was Great Ayton based Engineering Safety Partnership. Director John Maplesdon made the decision to form his own consultancy business after over 35 years experience in the electrical industry.

I was delighted with what mm&d have provided me with. Early on, they identified that the website domain engineeringsafety.co.uk was available which is a great boost to my new brand.

I didn’t have major requirements for a large-scale website but the design they have provided looks excellent and helps present the business in a professional manner.”

If you have a business idea and require marketing support please contact mm&d and arrange a free consultation.
