Who are we?
Seahorse Creative was founded by two women who have established and run successful businesses for the past 19 years in the South West. Both are qualified business advisors and mentors and, having worked with hundreds of businesses across the South West, could see first-hand how many were struggling with the promotion of their own business. So many businesses fail to market themselves properly, which is why Seahorse Creative was set up to help them.

THE PERFECT COMBINATION
With a marketing and financial background, Angie and Jane have brought together their immeasurable experience and skills to launch Seahorse Creative to offer cost-effective solutions to businesses who need to improve or engage with social media and improve their digital presence and brand.
Why we’re different
It’s not so much about why we’re different, but rather why YOU are different. If we’re marketing on your behalf we’ll invest time getting to know your business inside out rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
What also makes us stand apart from other online agencies is that alongside the digital advice and services comes a deep-seated understanding of what it takes to run and grow a successful business, the challenges business owners face and a practical knowledge of how to overcome them.
A strong digital presence and solid brand awareness are now essential tools for any business and we are here to help.
Go on, try us.
