Global experience, Stratford roots

Global expertise, brought home to Stratford.

Hi, we're Alex and Lydia. We've spent years building growth, content and automation systems for international names like Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and Motorsport Network. Now we've brought that experience home, building AI systems and websites for businesses in the town we grew up in: systems that find new customers, look after the ones you have, run your social media, keep your books and take the admin off your plate.

Free and 30 minutes. Over a coffee in town or on a video call.

What we build

If you can describe it, we can build it

We don't just automate messages. We build AI systems that find customers, manage them, run your marketing, keep your books and organise the business, plus the website that ties it all together.

Why we do this

It started with a walk through town

We'd spent years building growth, content and automation systems for some of the biggest media brands in the world. Then, walking through Stratford-upon-Avon, the town we grew up in, we saw independent businesses facing the same problems we'd been solving for global brands.

So we decided to bring that experience home, sized and priced for the businesses on our own high street.

We were walking past these incredible independent businesses (shops, cafés, service providers) and we realised that while their products were amazing, many were struggling with the rising cost of running a business. We saw a gap. These businesses don't need another expensive ad agency. They need support in lowering costs, bringing their digital presence up to modern standards, and embracing AI so they can stop drowning in admin and get back to what they love: their product.

Our promises

Big-brand standards, local-business manners

We also run What's up, Stratford, the local guide and news site, on systems we built ourselves. It checks council notices, planning lists, food hygiene ratings and events from official sources several times a day. We hold your business to the same standard.

You stay in charge

You set the rules for what any system can and can't do, and you can switch it off at any time.

Your data stays yours

UK GDPR from the start. Accounts are in your name, and we choose settings that keep your data out of AI training.

Plain English, fixed prices

No jargon and no open-ended bills. You know the cost before we start.

Local and easy to reach

We're from Stratford-upon-Avon and work here, so we can meet you in person.
