How can I help your business?

Business services offered by A Highland Blend

A Highland Blend offers a range of digital marketing and VA support services for businesses in the Highlands of Scotland.

I thrive on being a calm supportive cheerleader who assists business owners to reach their goals. With over 18 years’ experience of administration and marketing support, project management and event support, I’m pretty sure that there’s something I could help you with (although, I don’t offer Finance/Bookkeeping or Website Design services – they’re just not my bag)!

Do any of the following resonate with you?

  • You’re struggling against a rising tide of business admin tasks
  • You’re unsure of how to reach your ideal customer or client and need help writing copy that engages them
  • You see the potential of digital marketing content like email newsletters and blogs, but don’t have the time to create them
  • You would like to learn for yourself the technical tools and tricks of platforms such as Instagram and Facebook
  • You’d love to learn about Canva and creating eye-catching images and video

I offer a range of ‘done for you’ and done with you’ digital

marketing and VA services. Keep reading for more detail on these.

If you’d prefer to get in touch with some information about

your business via email, you can do that by dropping me a line at hello@ahighlandblend.com, however the most effective way I can learn about your business and propose ways of working together is through a no-obligation consultation held in Wick or on Microsoft Teams.

Testimonials

‘Just had another fantastic afternoon learning how to do reels with Susan. I feel so much more confident posting on social media using content that grabs attention. Delighted to see so much more interaction on our posts, stories and reels. Would highly recommend A Highland Blend and using Susan’s expertise!’

Angela Williamson, Above & Beyond Tours Caithness

‘Susan was a fantastic support to my team and I from 2013-2023. Susan got involved in all manner of tasks and worked very effectively remotely. I would describe Susan as professional, organised, efficient, meticulous and creative. She is also friendly, helpful and a skilled writer.’

Jacky MacMillan, University of the Highlands and Islands

I am the most technophobic person on this planet. Anything computer or website related, I usually just stick my head in the sand and hide. Susan has helped me massively over the past few weeks and held my hand through the process of designing and planning email campaigns and creating a mailing list. I highly recommend Susan to any fellow dinosaurs that need a hand with marketing, admin or website chat!

Kelly Munro, Kelly Munro Jewellery

‘Susan mostly deals with the social media side of things, but as well as that, Susan will offer a lot of advice. Whenever we’re looking to freshen things up or push things forward, Susan will come up with an abundance of ideas, knowledge and expertise’

Lisa Poulsen, Founder of Caithness Market

‘Susan is very reassuring to work with! I asked her to help me transfer my existing guest info pack to an online guide, and her eye for detail and local knowledge came through in all her suggestions. Her understanding of the brief really showed in the final result. I will certainly be asking her to help with copy and social media again.’

Ben Makin, The Lighthouse Keepers Cottage

‘I have worked with Susan before, so when I needed to pull a social media post together fast, Susan was my first thought. She is friendly, approachable, and understood our vision for the farm. I will be asking for her help again in the future – thanks so much!’

Isla Mackay, Geise Farm Thurso
