It was fantastic speaking at RTC North’s recent Supply Chain Sunderland event. With a room full of local innovators, entrepreneurs, and talented professionals, it was the perfect opportunity to share what Northern Digital is all about—helping businesses across the North East grow with creative design, powerful web solutions, and targeted digital marketing.

Showcasing Northern Digital’s Approach

When we talk about what we do here at Northern, it always comes down to results. During my talk, I had the pleasure of highlighting exactly how we’ve been making measurable differences for businesses in Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham, and beyond. From helping restaurants attract more bookings, to boosting the visibility of tech start-ups, we’re all about using smart, engaging design and clever marketing strategies to achieve clear, tangible outcomes.

Here are just a few standout examples of what we’ve achieved recently:

  • Increased organic traffic by 145% for a local hospitality brand.
  • Raised conversion rates from 0.33% to 1.27% for a major online project.
  • Reduced bounce rates by 23% through strategic website optimisation.

Why Events Like RTC’s Supply Chain Matter

Events like Supply Chain Sunderland aren’t just about sharing what we do—they’re about building meaningful relationships and discovering exciting collaboration opportunities. RTC North provided an exceptional platform for local businesses and professionals to connect, learn from one another, and explore new ways to grow together.

Being able to discuss face-to-face how Northern supports businesses through branding, digital marketing, web design, photography, and AI automations was incredibly rewarding. It also reinforced our belief in the importance of strong local connections. The energy and enthusiasm from the attendees was infectious, and I left feeling genuinely inspired about future possibilities.

A Big Thank You to RTC North

A huge thanks goes out to the RTC North team—especially John Forth, Barry Braley, and Lesley Hawke—for organising and hosting such a brilliant event. It was well-structured, engaging, and clearly driven by genuine support for businesses in our community. It’s events like these that really highlight the strength and diversity of the Sunderland and wider North East business community.

I’d also like to thank everyone who attended, listened, and engaged with my presentation. It was fantastic hearing your thoughts, challenges, and goals, and it’s clear that the North East’s future is bright, collaborative, and full of potential.

What’s Next for Northern?

We’re always keen to speak at more events, network with passionate professionals, and help even more local businesses succeed. If you attended and we didn’t get the chance to chat, please do get in touch. Whether you need advice on digital marketing, want to chat about web design, or just fancy a good old-fashioned Northern catch-up over a cuppa, our door is always open.

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
