Marketing Agency in Wirksworth, Derbyshire

Plenty of businesses in Wirksworth sell the character of the place as much as what’s on the shelf. Belper’s six miles down the road, so I come and see it for myself. Then I film and photograph the real thing, and make sure people find it, on Google and in ChatGPT. You’ve got a business to run, so let me do this part.

Who does marketing for independent businesses in Wirksworth?

Norton Hunt of North Bear Media, from Belper, six miles away. He works with Wirksworth’s independent shops and creative businesses, filming them on site and getting them found on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT. Found & Filmed, at £995 a month, covers the ongoing work, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the first step.

Wirksworth sells itself, as long as people can see it.

It’s a historic market town in the Derbyshire Dales, with a proper creative community and more independent shops opening all the time.

Ordinary marketing flattens businesses like that. A stock photo and a line about quality and service could be anywhere. I show the actual shop, or the workshop where you make things, with you in it, because that’s what people come to Wirksworth for.

Then I make sure people find you, locals and visitors both, whether they’re searching on Google or asking ChatGPT what’s worth seeing round the Dales.

I come over and see what you do before we plan anything. It makes everything after it sharper.

How it works, and what you pay.

Nearly all of it sits inside Found & Filmed. It’s £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice from either of us, so if it’s not working you stop.

The filmed part is me coming over once a quarter with the cameras and lighting, filming you at work wherever that is, and taking stills while I’m there. I edit it back at the studio, caption the videos, and post it for you over the weeks until I’m back.

The found part is your website and Google listing kept saying what you do, in the words people search with, and the same work for ChatGPT. I’ve had clients find me by asking ChatGPT for someone local. Nobody can guarantee what it says, but it leans heavily on your reviews, and I’ll give you the best chance of being the one it suggests.

If you want to see where you stand first, the MOT is £295 and it’s the place to start. Anything outside Found & Filmed, like a new logo or a leaflet for the shop, I scope and price separately.

How I go about it for a Wirksworth business.

Here’s the plan. The detail changes with what you make or sell.

01 //
Come and see it
I come over and look at what you do, and what makes it worth the trip.
02 //
Film the real thing
A filming day at yours, capturing the making and the people, with photos as well.
03 //
Say where you are
Your website and Google listing get the words a visitor would type, Wirksworth and the Dales, not only your business name.
04 //
Keep it going out
It’s posted over the following weeks, so there’s always something recent up when someone looks you up before a visit.

Client view

“Looking forward to a continued relationship with Norton to help my business grow.”

Some of the businesses I work with.

A farm shop in Matlock, a recovery firm in Alfreton and an electric van company. Different trades, and every one of them filmed and found.

Common questions about a marketing agency in Wirksworth.

How much does marketing cost in Wirksworth?

Found & Filmed is £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, and covers the ongoing marketing, including a filming day each quarter. A second shop is £450 a month more. The Marketing MOT costs £295, you pay it once, and it’s yours to keep. Design and copywriting jobs are projects, so I scope them and give you a price before starting.

What kind of marketing do you do?

Filming and photographing the business on site, then making sure locals and visitors find you, on Google and with AI assistants like ChatGPT. The posting and replies are part of it, and email campaigns or a new logo are separate projects.

Can you help if I don’t have a big budget?

Yes. Plenty of Wirksworth businesses are small independents, so start with the £295 MOT. Some of the most useful fixes, like your Google listing, you can sort yourself. If you’d rather hand it over, Found & Filmed is £995 a month, far less than a full-time hire, with no training and no kit to buy, because I bring my own.

How quickly will I see results?

Some of it straight away, because photos and video change how the business looks the day they go up. Climbing Google and getting mentioned when people ask ChatGPT takes months, not weeks. ChatGPT leans heavily on your reviews, so that’s where I put the work in.

Do you work with businesses outside Wirksworth?

Yes. Most of my work’s round Derbyshire, and I have clients further afield, up in Lancashire and down in London. Wirksworth’s six miles from me in Belper, so meeting up and the filming days are easy, and a call works too.
