Since we invested in our new website with Umi in 2016, our relationship has really grown and have invested more into the digital function. We work across Google Ads, Search Optimisation and Digital Strategy so it has really grown.
We think of the Umi team as an enlarged version of our team.

Project Overview
The Stafford London is a historic Five-Star Hotel in London, Mayfair and has firmly cemented its place as one of Londons most iconic, prestigious and luxurious hotels. They celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012 and is widely celebrated as being one of the top London hotels. The hotel is located minutes walk from Buckingham Palace, St James Park and Green Park station with popular shopping destinations nearby such as Oxford Street and Regent Street.
After 3 years of year-on-year growth through their direct channel, it was time to take the digital presence to the next level by developing a multi-site platform for their growing portfolio of businesses, including Norma, The Game Bird and Northcote
