Established by thoroughbred through-the-line marketing professionals, SO Marketing's objective is simply to produce quality work that achieves real return on investment (ROI).

We will never suggest that we do work that isn’t necessary just to cost you money, rather we will carefully craft a marketing strategy that will provide an ROI over the timescales agreed. We like to think of our clients as friends and have built up many long term relationships with clients and suppliers alike. We believe that we can add real value to any business so why not give us a try?
We know we're good, but how do you know we will meet your expectations?
Here are the main reasons we think you should work with us:
Everything under one roof - your designated team is made up of experts in print, design, digital and direct marketing; meaning you have experts at your disposal appreciating your entire marketing strategy.
Experience - Our Testimonials are proof of how good we are.
Service – Our Service Level Agreement (SLA) is that we guarantee to respond to any queries, questions or concerns immediately. If a prospective job is urgent, we promise to endeavour to turn it around in order to meet your deadlines. We have built up a reputation for being able to “pull it out of the bag” when clients need things fast, getting many of them out of a hole at the last minute.
Innovation and development – By virtue and request, we constantly build online tools to help our customers market themselves better. If there's a function or tool our customers need we will build it to work just how they need it to. Our new online print calculator, SO-CHAT Live website chat and SO-MAIL tools have all been designed in response to the needs of our customers.
