Premium Audio Products
The iT7 Audio brand is owned by Ex Aston Villa footballer, Ian Taylor, who has a passion for music and a keen ear for great reproduction of sound.
The brand was launched in 2012 and has seen some incredible successes since then, and is now seen as a major high street brand.
Their web presence needed to be clear and concise and offer a simple and user friendly interface that would be compelling enough to retain visitors and
communicative enough to generate sales. Driving traffic was helped with the SEO set up and maintainence for the site and an easy scrolling format gave
users a straightforward and enticing experience. Visitors and sales have been increasing month on month and the site is now becoming a solid revenue
stream for the business.
16. UI
Visually the site was
developed to communicate
the brand and product
information clearly and in
an uncomplex style but
retaining a high end look
and feel.
The eCommerce
element was developed
using Shopify which
has been growing in
popularity and is a great
back end system for ‘quick
to market’ shop front
solutions especially under
restricted budgets.

17. Website Case Study
Consumer
Electronic
Products
The brand was developed
exclusively for sale through
Tesco and has held a third
market share for mobile
phone power accessories in
the UK for over three years.
The website was developed
to be a portal for product
display and a communication
link to the consumer, offering
a perfect tool for open lines
of contact for consumer
feedback, product
information, range data and
to support staff at Tesco for
fast product information.
The brand has grown from
50+ SKUs, at launch, to now
ranging over 180 SKUs, so the
site continues to grow and
work alongside Tesco Direct
so consumers can now link
through and purchase
product. in one click.
18. Making your voice really connect with
your audience can bring amazing results
PR Case Study
Our ability to connect with the target audience has been successfully demonstrated time after time and one particular project brought incredible exposure
for one of our main consumer brands.
Talking to the right people at the right time
Fighting for space against heritage brands
iT7 Audio was launched in to one of the most aggressive market sectors back in 2012 when Beats by Dre were starting to dominate the category, so
fighting to establish a brand against them and the other, well established, heritage brands in such a crowded space was a challenge to say the least.
Brand owner and ex Aston Villa footballer, Ian Taylor, had great connections in football which we managed to utilise during the 2012 European
Championships.
We were able headphones in to the England team’s dressing room, which were very well received by the players. From that moment on, they were
seen, pretty much, everywhere. First Wayne Rooney was seen on the front cover of the Daily MaiL, then we made The Sun centre spread, then on almost
every sports TV show going as they were seen with them on the pitch before one of the games and then giving interviews wearing them, etc. This meant
we could use the content for social media and broadcast the arrival of a new audio brand to the World through any national title, the red tops, magazines,
bloggers and just about everyone. Then, as per usual, they let us down and came home. Boo hoo!
