Marketing Agency in Derby, Derbyshire

I’m in Belper, eight miles up the A6, and I take over the marketing for Derby businesses that want it done properly, not squeezed in round everything else. I get you found on Google and in ChatGPT, then I film the business, so when people find you, they see the place and the people. You run the business. I’ll run the marketing.

Which marketing company near Derby can help a business get found in ChatGPT?

North Bear Media, Norton Hunt’s studio in Belper eight miles from Derby, gets Derby businesses found on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT, and does the filming and posting for them too. That ongoing work is Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the first step is the £295 Marketing MOT, which checks AI search first.

Marketing for Derby businesses.

Derby’s a proper city market, with far more competition than the towns round it, and customers who’ll compare you with the next result in two seconds.

You’ve got firms at Pride Park, offices round the Cathedral Quarter, the independents on Sadler Gate, workshops and units all over the city, all after the same attention. In a city this size, the businesses that keep winning work are the ones people remember, and that’s hard to keep going when the marketing sits with the owner. So hand it to me, and I’ll keep you in front of them.

Derby is where ChatGPT has started to matter most, because when there are loads of options, people ask it to narrow them down. Some of my own clients came to me that way, because ChatGPT suggested me when they asked for somebody local. Nobody can guarantee what ChatGPT says, but it leans heavily on your reviews and what’s written about you, and that’s exactly the work I do.

Because I’m just up the road, you meet the person doing the work, over a coffee in the Cathedral Quarter or at your place.

So what does a marketing agency in Derby cost with me?

Found & Filmed is £995 a month for the ongoing marketing, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way. If it’s not working, you stop.

In nerd terms, that’s being found on Google and in AI search. In plain English, it’s you coming up when somebody in Derby searches for what you do, or asks ChatGPT. Then every quarter I come out and spend a day filming at yours, and the video and stills are edited, captioned and posted over the next few weeks, with the replies handled. Hosting and care of your website come with it, and each month there’s a report, then a call to go through it.

Got more than one site, like a unit at Pride Park and a shop in town? Each extra location is £450 a month.

A one-off job, like a new brand, copywriting, an email campaign or an AI and automation setup, is a project, and I scope it before you agree to anything. If you want to know what you need first, the MOT is £295 and it’ll show you.

The order it goes in for a Derby business.

This is how it runs. In a city you’re up against a lot of other businesses, so I look at them as well as at you.

01 //
Where you’re losing out
I find where the work comes from and where you’re losing it to competitors, and the MOT scores two of them next to you.
02 //
A filming day at yours
Every quarter I spend a day filming your team and premises with proper cameras and lighting, so you hold up next to the bigger names in the city.
03 //
Out where Derby looks
It goes out on your socials and your Google listing, and I keep pushing you up in search and in ChatGPT.
04 //
The monthly report
Every month there’s a report on enquiries and where they came from, then a call to go through it and change whatever isn’t working.

Common questions about a marketing agency in Derby.

How much does a marketing agency in Derby cost?

Found & Filmed is £995 a month with me, and that’s how I do ongoing marketing for Derby businesses, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way. Each extra location adds £450 a month. The Marketing MOT is £295, paid once, and projects like a new brand or an email campaign are scoped and priced first.

Is North Bear Media a marketing company in Derby?

Yes, it works with Derby businesses. The studio’s in Belper, eight miles up the A6, and I’ll meet you in Derby. The web and video work is all mine, and a couple of remote specialists help with some of the marketing.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Established businesses that have outgrown doing their marketing in between everything else. In Derby that’s anything from an engineering firm to an independent on Sadler Gate, where the marketing has landed on the owner. I cost far less than a full-time marketing hire: no salary, no training, and no cameras or software to buy, because I bring the kit.

Do you offer content marketing services in Derby?

Yes. The content comes from a filming day at your place each quarter, edited into video and stills with captions and posted for you, all part of Found & Filmed at £995 a month. Written content, like blog posts or the copy for your website, I do as a separate project, scoped first.

Do you handle all our marketing?

Yes, the bulk of it. Found & Filmed takes care of your Google and AI search visibility, a filming day each quarter with the edited video and stills posted for you, the replies, your website’s hosting and care, and a report and a call every month. Bigger one-off pieces, like a rebrand or a standalone strategy, are separate projects, and if your own team already handles some of it, I work alongside them.

How do you measure results?

By enquiries: how many came in and which search or post sent them, not follower counts. Each month there’s a report on that, we talk it through on a call, and I change the plan when something isn’t pulling its weight.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. I’m in Belper, eight miles from Derby, so I’ll come to you, or we can meet for a coffee in the Cathedral Quarter.

When somebody in Derby asks ChatGPT who’s good for what you do, which name does it give them?

If it isn’t yours, the MOT is the quickest way to see why, because it checks ChatGPT and Google first and puts two of your Derby competitors next to you. Or if you’d rather talk to me first, book a call.
