Marketing agency in
Websites, social media & design, done properly.
We’re ZERO FAFF, a County Durham marketing agency just down the A167. Websites, social media and design for businesses in Newton Aycliffe and on Aycliffe Business Park, without the jargon or the faff.
Newton Aycliffe is one of County Durham’s busiest places to do business. Aycliffe Business Park is one of the largest in the North East, home to hundreds of manufacturers, engineers, suppliers and service firms, and Hitachi Rail builds trains here. In town, the shops, trades and services look after a growing community.
We’re ZERO FAFF, a small marketing agency based in County Durham. We help business-to-business firms and local businesses alike win more work, with marketing that’s clear, honest and built to bring in enquiries, from Newton Aycliffe to Sedgefield, Ferryhill and Heighington.
No jargon, no long contracts and no mystery fees. You get quick replies and one person who knows your business inside out.
We tell you what we’re doing and why, without the buzzwords.
Ask a question, get an answer. Usually the same day.
One point of contact who knows your business, not a different face every month.
We show you what’s working with the figures, not fluff.
For a business on the park, your website often does the first sales meeting for you. It should look as capable as you are.
We design and build fast, good-looking websites that work beautifully on phones, show up properly in Google and turn visitors into enquiries. For Lawler Mortgages, that meant a new site with online appointment booking built in.
Already have a website? We can take over looking after it: hosting, updates, security and speed, plus new pages and changes whenever you need them, so it keeps bringing in work while you run your business.
A professional brand helps a growing business win bigger contracts and better staff.
We create logos, colours, fonts and the rules that hold them together, then design everything you need: signage, van livery, leaflets, menus, social posts and more. For Salt & Co, brand and design work since 2019 has supported growth from around £20,000 to £280,000 in turnover.
Whether you sell to households or to other businesses, ads put you in front of the right people, and you only pay to reach them.
We run Google, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram ads aimed at the people most likely to buy from you, from homeowners in the DL5 postcode to buyers and decision makers across the region. Every pound is tracked, so you can see exactly what each enquiry costs.
For What The Booth, our ads brought in 270+ enquiries in five months at £3.45 each.
Quotes, enquiries and follow-ups shouldn’t live in someone’s inbox. A CRM keeps every lead moving.
We set up a CRM that suits your business, connect it to your website and ads, and automate the follow-ups you never have time for: replies, reminders and review requests. You see every lead, where it came from and what happened next.
Selling to businesses, to households or to both? A clear plan points your budget in the right direction.
We look at where your customers come from, what your competitors across the region are doing, and where your time and budget will go furthest. Then we give you a simple, realistic plan, and help you carry it out if you want us to.
We know how to market to other businesses as well as to the public, from LinkedIn to tender-ready websites.
Newton Aycliffe is a short drive from us. We’re happy to visit you on the park or meet for a coffee in town.
You’ll always know what we’re doing, what it costs and what it’s bringing in. If something isn’t working, we’ll tell you and change it.
Yes. We work with manufacturers, engineers, suppliers and service firms on the business park, as well as shops and trades in town, and we’re happy to visit you on site.
Yes. If you already have a website, we can take over looking after it: hosting, updates, security and speed, plus new pages and changes whenever you need them. If it’s holding you back, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth fixing or rebuilding. We do this for businesses in Newton Aycliffe and all around it.
Yes. We can take your social media off your hands completely, from planning and designing posts to writing captions, posting and replying to comments, or work alongside you if you’d rather keep a hand in. Either way you’ll see what’s working each month, in plain English.
It depends on what your website needs to do. A simple, well-built site for a small business costs far less than one with online booking, payments or lots of pages. We’ll give you a fixed price in plain English before we start, so there are no surprises.
Yes. We help firms that sell to other businesses with websites that win trust, LinkedIn, Google ads and CRM, so enquiries and quotes don’t get lost.
No. We agree what we’re doing and what it costs before we start, in plain English. Most clients start with one service and add more once they see it working.
Usually within a couple of weeks. It starts with a quick chat about where your business is now and where you want it to go. Then we put a simple plan together and get going.
Newton Aycliffe, let’s talk
Tell us a little about your business and we’ll book in a quick chat, on site or on a call. No hard sell, no faff.
Social media management in Newton Aycliffe
Business buyers scroll too. A steady, professional presence on social media keeps you front of mind when they need you.
We plan, write and design your posts, keep your pages looking sharp and reply to comments. For a manufacturer on the business park that might mean LinkedIn and recruitment posts; for a salon or trade in town, Facebook and Instagram. Either way, the right people keep seeing you.
Already posting but struggling to keep up? We can take your accounts over completely, or work alongside you if you’d rather keep a hand in.
