Testimonial

“I have known Phil Aston and Genius Loci Media for many years now and it has always been a pleasure to have done business with him.

I first met Phil when I moved to manage a new hotel and Phil was taking care of the hotel’s website and the social media. I did not know Phil at the time and had no idea of his talents. He is what the word “Professional” means. He knows how to engage in the marketing world and his attention to details is one of his many assets, but what sets Phil apart is his dedication and willingness to ensure customer satisfaction.

I was shocked the first time I requested a website change at 8pm on a Saturday to find the change done within the hour. Not only does he turn work around at a rapid rate, he also will come forward with ideas to ensure your message is being received in the correct tone and engaging to the desired audience.

If you have never had the pleasure of engaging with Phil Aston, then do yourself and your business a huge favour and do so today”. David Brock Your Partnerships

Phil Aston Consulting

I have been involved in marketing for over 30 years so technically I am not a young person! But all the personal brand marketing I do is through Social Media.

The rules of marketing are exactly the same It is just the tools we use have changed, they are faster and more efficient and actually more exciting.

So not to have a social media strategy and to think we need a young person in to do that is flawed thinking. Just the same as saying I don’t know anyone on Twitter so I cannot see a reason to use it. However, millions of people are.

Twitter is great for late availability if you are in Tourism. Just as with Facebook advertising you can easily target people who are interested in what you are actually doing

My core skill when I started Genius Loci Media was SEO. I still do SEO, but it has changed and social media is now part of that mix. It is important to realise that social media is now part of your marketing mix.
