The marketing department local businesses deserve
We’re a small, focused studio in the North East helping local businesses get more customers, without the cost and faff of hiring in-house.
Built for businesses like yours
I'm Brandon, founder of Footfall Studio — a small, founder-run studio built to give local businesses the marketing department they could never justify hiring.
For eight years, I've managed relationships with small businesses across the country. Independent gyms, salons, tradespeople, retailers. Smart people. Hard workers. Yet nearly all of them shared the same quiet frustration: they're losing ground online not because their business is bad, but because they don't have time to manage Google reviews, keep up with social media, or produce decent video content. And the agencies quoting them? Thousands a month, treating them like account numbers.
I studied Graphic Communications because I loved the idea of solving problems visually. That never changed. But I realised the real problem wasn't the design. It was that small businesses needed someone local, someone they could actually call, someone who got their world.
So I built Footfall to fix that gap. I handle the marketing noise for North East businesses: Google Business Profile optimisation, review generation, social content, AI video. Done-for-you, at fair prices, with senior, hands-on attention on every account — you deal with me directly, not an account manager.
Let's have an honest two-way conversation about how I can help your business grow. No jargon. No contracts. Just results.
Let me help you increase your footfall.
