About Marketing Tom Media

Marketing Tom Media is a Digital Marketing company based in Cardiff, Wales. It is headed up by Alun John who, for the past 8 years, has been involved in the Internet industry and has worked with a diverse range of businesses. Over this time he has helped dozens of companies from private and public sector companies and educational establishments, gain an effective Internet presence and increase traffic and their own bottom line. Marketing Tom Media create solutions that best fit the client needs, be they to increase turnover, raise awareness, secure more enquiries or to build community. There are two strands to the business: Digital Marketing Solutions and Digital Marketing Training.

Digital Marketing Solutions
Marketing Tom Media works with business owners, web developers and strategic and marketing communications experts to develop effective Digital Marketing Solutions. Ideally, we work with clients from the outset of their web projects and this means we can put solid, strategic foundations in place before applying tactical tools at key stages of project development.

Marketing Tom Media adopts a structured approach to the projects we work on and make sure that we have a clear understanding of the client, their customers and their market before tackling any project. This means that realistic targets can be set, which can then be easily reached (ideally, they will be exceeded). When it comes to Digital Marketing Solutions, our core skills cover:

  • Developing Digital Marketing Strategies
  • Search Engine Optimisation
  • Business Blogging
  • Pay-per-click Campaigns
  • Social Media Strategies and Solutions

Digital Marketing Training

In 2005, Alun worked on creating the UK's first eMarketing Centre of Excellence (Emcoe). Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing it delivers the eMarketing Award to local businesses. Over the past few years he has delivered courses to over 150 companies and has an excellent understanding of the online marketing needs of both private and public sector organisations.

Since June 2008 Alun has put all  his time and energy into developing Marketing Tom Media. Like Emcoe the business is an Accredited CIM Study Centre and the main course is the eMarketing Award, which is now being delivered to businesses across Wales, the South West and even into London. The eMarketing Award is designed to teach candidates how to create strategic digital marketing plans and, unlike other centres, we do explore some of the key tactical tools, such as SEO, blogging and social media.

As a result of demand from people to learn about the most popular tactical tools, Marketing Tom Media has developed a series of 1-day workshops, including Social Media Marketing, Business Blogging, Google AdWords and Google World, which are designed to give candidates hands-on experience in using these tools.
