Hi! I’m Emily, the Founder of The Business Widget - thanks so much for stopping by!
We are a VA powered Marketing and Operations Agency with a brilliant team of people whose passion is helping business owners to grow by taking the virtual business reigns and allowing them the time and headspace to get back to doing the parts of the business they love.
We are a mix of specialists in marketing and operations. Getting our creative kicks from creating content from a place of purpose including email campaigns, social media content, lead magnets and blogs. Strategic marketing can feel ‘salesy’ but if you are looking to serve people, support and connect with people then they need to know about you and how you can help them! We thrive on getting businesses organised, streamlined and stopping businesses from being a drain on their owner’s time.
You can get to know me by following me on LinkedIn and Instagram so do come and say hello!
But don’t take my word for it - scroll down to read some testimonials from our past and present clients.
Here’s what some of our clients have to say:
VA? OBM? Marketing? Admin?
— What are you?
As a VA working with small businesses we think it’s important to find an all-rounder to have on your team because you have to become an all-rounder yourself when you start your own business. That’s why we are all a mix of our two passions - marketing and operations and we all excel in different things which is why we make a great combination to have at your disposal.
Here are some terms that we use regularly to help people understand what we do:
VA = Virtual Assistant.
Depending on the individual’s experience, skills and client base depends on what the VA can do. It used to be a largely admin and PA type role but the bigger the industry grew the more VAs up-skilled and started adding marketing and general life admin to their remit.
OBM = Online Business Manager.
This describes me the best but a lot of people don’t know what this means. As I have lots of experience in managing online businesses from every aspect.
Marketing Manager = is not an admin or sales role.
Sticking up some posts on social media is not what we do. We create a strategy which includes data from your current channels, website, competitors and our own recommendations. We test, analyse, tweak and then test again. Marketing is a mix of science (data) and creativity (creating assets and ideas) so it should be treated like that - not just a bit of admin.
