Cognique

Based in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, Cognique is a small web design and digital marketing agency working with business owners and marketing managers who need ongoing support managing their websites and marketing activity. Its client base includes companies such as Colour Clad, Somerset Care, Motiv-8 and Hippychick, spanning retail, care and family-focused businesses. The team size is small (1-10), and the agency positions itself as a long-term partner rather than a project-only supplier, aiming to understand a client's audience and business goals before recommending an approach. Services cover web design, web development and eCommerce design, alongside digital marketing disciplines including SEO, PPC, content marketing, email marketing and social media. Website projects are built around user journey and conversion, with a research phase intended to understand user requirements before design work begins, as described in relation to its work with Somerset Care. On the marketing side, Cognique builds strategy around audience understanding and buyer-journey stages, aiming to deliver relevant content at the right points in that journey. Stated business outcomes it works toward include increasing sales, generating leads, raising awareness, repositioning a business, launching new products or services, and competing more effectively within a market. The agency also offers IT managed services alongside its marketing and web offering.
