How it began.
2020 saw the largest global pandemic in 100 years shut down sectors of the retail and service industries, across the world. It was sink or swim time.
Online businesses and those that could move their business online held steady, even flourished – as long as they could make their mark in an increasingly competitive digital space. Many that endured enforced hibernation directed their energy to rebranding and refreshing, ready for a grand comeback.
This created an opportunity for those with the digital skillset businesses needed – and the-get-up-and-go to jump into that space. It was at this time that Carmen Livingstone, along with many others, was furloughed from her usual employment. Before she even had time to check out what was trending on Netflix, her personal website caught the eye of a local business owner. Impressed he asked, did she have time to build a new website for his business? Covid Lockdown had just begun, but so had Carmen's new business venture, Web Design CL.
How it's going.
In the next 12 months Web Design CL exploded. Clients loved Carmen’s combination of design and technical skills and her professional-with-a-personal-touch approach. As finished websites hit the online stage with rave reviews from the business owners, enquiries came in from all over the world – the UK, America, Germany, Qatar and Australia. Web Design CL created eye catching and easy to navigate websites for all different types of businesses; gyms, bakeries, carpentry and logistics companies, midwives and business coaches.
Every business owner was looking for innovative ways to present and promote their business, and engage new customers, to survive and thrive in these challenging times. By popular demand Web Design CL expanded its services to include branding and rebranding, logo and print designs, copy writing, visual content creation and social media management. As Web Design CL continued to grow it gained more and more traction online, racking up scores of satisfied customers and a wait list of new clients.
With success came the need for change.
In late 2021 Web Design CL underwent its own rebranding to reflect the growth in its services, relaunching as LIV X MEDIA. Still headed by Carmen Livingstone, LIV X MEDIA is a unique collaboration of business minded creatives that take business, digital and marketing services to the next level.
These are the people behind the business and the exceptional skills they bring to the table to make it all happen.
Branding Specialist Holly ensures every client’s branding is memorable, consistent and on point to set them up for success. Understanding the power of the written word, Head Copy Writer Rachel brings business stories and values, products and services to life on the page. Whilst Visual Artist Adam delivers impact through unforgettable photography and videography. Business Strategist Katie offers inspiration, coaching and planning to LIV X MEDIA clients wanting to start, expand or keep business on track. And behind the scenes Business Development Manager Alex ensures LIV X MEDIA itself continually improves, progresses and delivers only the best to a growing clientele.
This is the dream team that Carmen brought together. These are the highly experienced people that share a vision and work with passion and purpose to make every LIV X MEDIA project… your next project… a standout.
Carmen Liv.
