Grassroots sport does far more than fill a Saturday morning⚽

It gives children a place to belong and helps them develop teamwork, communication, resilience, discipline and the confidence to keep going when things don’t quite go their way.

These are qualities that serve them far beyond the pitch, through school, into adult life and eventually in the workplace.

That’s why Urban Element is proud to sponsor the coaches at Hook Norton Hammerheads, supporting the volunteers who give their time and energy to keep local children engaged in football.

We’re particularly passionate about ensuring that sport feels accessible to every child, including girls. Research has repeatedly linked participation in sport with the development of leadership skills among women, reinforcing how important those early opportunities can be.

This sponsorship may be represented by a jacket and a logo, but for us it’s really about investing in people, participation and our local community.

A huge thank you to the coaches and volunteers who make grassroots sport possible week after week. We’re very proud to support you. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. With only three days to go, we’d love your help in reaching our next milestone.

Every donation, however large or small, will help make those 18 miles count.

Not your usual Tuesday evening...

This evening, our co-owners Jon and Natasha Ellard are heading to a CEO Charity Cocktail Making Evening on Cowley Road.

A slightly different kind of “client meeting”… 🍸

But one we’re really looking forward to.

The evening is in support of two charities doing incredibly important work locally - Sobell House Hospice and Homeless Oxfordshire.

Both organisations provide support at moments in people’s lives when it’s needed most.

We’ll be joining a room full of local business owners, good conversation, and (hopefully) some decent cocktail making skills… all in support of raising funds through a raffle and silent auction.

Very much looking forward to the evening.

Our new website is on its way!

It’s been a while since we’ve taken a proper look at how we present ourselves. As the business has evolved, it felt like the right time to ensure our website truly reflects the work we’re doing today and the clients we’re best placed to support.

Over the past few years, we’ve increasingly partnered with senior marketing leaders in construction, engineering and manufacturing who are under genuine pressure to demonstrate marketing’s contribution to revenue.

Long sales cycles.
Commercially driven leadership teams.
Marketing still sometimes viewed as a support function.

That’s the environment many of our clients operate in.

Our new site has been shaped around that reality. It will more clearly communicate:

• How we help shift marketing from tactical activity to strategic growth
• How we connect digital marketing to pipeline and measurable outcomes
• How we support marketing leaders in gaining leadership confidence

As Natasha Ellard, Managing Director, explains:

“Senior marketers in traditional sectors are being asked tougher commercial questions than ever. Our role is to help them answer those questions with clarity and confidence and to position marketing as a genuine growth driver.”

We’re still a few months away from launch, but we’re looking forward to sharing more soon!

Meet Katy, one of our Digital Marketing Executives💙

Katy plays a vital role in helping our clients turn visibility into engagement and engagement into action. From managing strategic social media campaigns to creating high performing content and digital assets, she ensures every touchpoint supports brand growth and business objectives.

“I’ve been with UE for over 4 years now and no two days are ever the same. I work with clients across manufacturing, construction, engineering and logistics, which means understanding complex products and services, then translating them into clear, engaging digital content that resonates.

I specialise in Social Media, but I love all things digital, whether that’s content writing, asset creation or refining code to improve performance. For me, it’s about making sure every piece of activity delivers measurable value.”

At Urban Element, social media isn’t just about posting regularly. It’s about delivering consistent, commercially aligned messaging that builds authority, strengthens brand presence and supports revenue growth.

Meet Liam, one of our Search Engine Marketing Specialists 💙

Liam plays a key role in helping our clients turn search visibility into measurable growth. From increasing high intent website traffic and improving keyword rankings to building and optimising strategic Google Ads campaigns, he focuses on performance that aligns with real business objectives.

“I’ve been with UE for around 5 years now, and my favourite part of the role is delivering real, meaningful results for our clients. Whether it's improving on-page SEO, addressing technical SEO and website issues, or managing impactful Google Ads accounts, I love helping businesses strengthen their online visibility and drive measurable results that support their wider business objectives.”

At Urban Element, search is never a tick box exercise. It’s about building a commercially sound strategy that supports lead generation, sales growth and long term market presence.

Q3 catch-up with the team at Shurtape ✔️

A great session looking back at what’s worked across socials, where we’ve seen some solid wins, and how we build on that momentum going forward.

From strong visual content to formats that are really delivering, it’s been a quarter of learning, testing and progress.

Always a pleasure celebrating results with clients and shaping what’s next, together.

We recently spent time with Darcica Logistics Limited, taking a deep dive into what’s driving growth, what’s holding things back, and what comes next💡

Their results don’t happen by accident.

They ask the right questions.
They expect answers backed by numbers.
They talk return, not just reach.

And it shows: stronger enquiries, compounding organic growth, social that does more than look good, and strategies built to scale the business not just tick boxes.

A big thank you to Anthony, Melanie and Sam for their time and transparency, and to Kate for stepping straight into a very real, very commercial review and handling it brilliantly.

This is what happens when marketing is taken seriously💙
