We Love 9am

A small agency based in Poulton, England, WeLove9am focuses on employer branding, recruitment marketing and candidate attraction rather than general consumer marketing. Its client work spans organisations such as Hillarys, Barnardo's, Sky, Danish Crown and Signature, suggesting experience across retail, charity, media and corporate sectors that need to attract and retain staff as well as customers. The team is small, in the 1-10 range, and positions itself around helping employers stand out in a changing world of work, combining brand thinking with marketing communications aimed at talent audiences. Declared services cover search engine optimisation, pay per click, media planning and buying, advertising, branding, content marketing, social media marketing and email marketing, applied specifically to employer branding projects. Examples from its work include social media campaigns, geo-targeted advertising, media buying for recruitment purposes, and the creation of a career website together with an Employer Value Proposition (EVP) and accompanying film for at least one client. The agency also produces its own content under a section called The Daily Brew, including blog posts, eBooks, infographics and podcasts, used to share thinking on recruitment marketing and workplace culture topics. This combination of paid media, content and branding work is directed toward attracting new talent and supporting internal culture and staff retention for its clients.
