There’s a big difference between selling a product and building a brand.

A product can be judged on what it does. Does it work? Does it represent good value? Does it look good? Does it have the features people want?

A brand is rather more complicated.

A brand is a promise. And, ultimately, whether someone believes that promise comes down to one thing: trust.

For an overseas brand looking to establish a foothold in the UK, this is particularly important. A strong product, an ambitious proposition and big plans for the market don’t automatically translate into customer confidence.

Particularly when you’re asking someone to spend a significant amount of money, trust matters.
Think about buying a house. You’re not simply buying bricks and mortar. You’re making a significant financial commitment based, at least in part, on the belief that what you’re being told is true. That the building is what it appears to be. That the people selling it are being honest with you. And that, if something unexpected happens, you won’t simply be left to deal with it yourself.

The same principle applies to almost any big-ticket purchase.

That makes building trust every bit as important as building awareness.

For brands entering a new market, earning that trust means putting the right infrastructure in place — not simply asking customers to believe in the brand.

That means comprehensive warranties, robust customer support and the kind of back-up services designed to give customers genuine reassurance.

Because a strong brand isn’t just built on what it promises.

It’s built on proving that promise.

Q4 can be one of the most important periods of the year for brands. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas gifting and the general increase in consumer spending can create huge opportunities. But with increased demand comes increased competition, rising media costs and much less room for error. The brands that perform best in Q4 aren't necessarily the ones that spend the most. They're the ones that prepare early.

So, what should you actually be doing now to make sure your paid media is ready?

1. Don't wait until November to start planning
2. Look at last year's data
3. Get your tracking in order
4. Start testing creative before the competition gets louder
5. Don't forget about the upper funnel
6. Plan your budget around demand, not just a monthly figure
7. Think beyond Black Friday
8. Build your audiences now
9. Have a plan for when things don't go to plan
10. Remember that Q4 success isn't just about Q4

Are we too focused on the final conversion?

CPA is one of the most commonly used metrics in paid media. And for good reason. If the objective is to generate conversions, understanding how much we're paying for each one is incredibly valuable.

The problem comes when we start treating CPA as the ultimate measure of success for every campaign. Not every campaign is designed to drive an immediate conversion. And not every customer journey starts with someone searching for a product and clicking ‘buy’. People might see a brand on social media, watch a video, visit the website a few days later, search for the brand, and eventually convert. If we only look at the CPA attached to that final conversion, we're potentially ignoring everything that happened before it.

One of the biggest considerations when working across paid social is that the metric used to judge a campaign should reflect what the campaign is actually trying to achieve. For a conversion campaign, CPA might be one of the most important metrics to monitor. But for an awareness campaign, CPA isn't expected to tell us very much.

Instead, metrics such as reach and impressions, video views and completion rates, engagement, cost per engagement, click-through rate, website traffic, brand searches or new users can be more useful.

These metrics help us understand whether we're successfully getting a brand in front of the right people and creating interest. That doesn't mean conversions aren't important. It means we need to understand where that campaign sits within the wider customer journey.

When eBay partnered with Love Island in 2022, it wasn't just another sponsorship. It was a bold marketing move that challenged the fast fashion industry and put pre-loved clothing in the spotlight.

As Love Island's first-ever pre-loved fashion partner, eBay set out to raise awareness of sustainable fashion, grow its fashion marketplace, and change how consumers think about buying second-hand clothing.

Now years later, it's safe to say the partnership has been a huge success.

Rather than simply placing its logo around the villa, eBay became part of the show's story. Contestants wore pre-loved outfits throughout the series, proving that second hand fashion can be just as stylish as buying new.

The partnership aligned perfectly with growing consumer demand for sustainability, particularly among younger audiences who are becoming increasingly conscious of their fashion choices.

The campaign didn't just generate conversation, it delivered measurable business results.

During Season 9 of Love Island, eBay reported:

• Over 1,400% more searches for pre-loved fashion items.
• A 24% increase in new circular fashion businesses joining the marketplace during 2023.
• A 20% increase in pre-loved fashion listings since the partnership began.

These figures show the power of combining the right brand with the right audience at the right time.

The biggest takeaway is that successful marketing is about more than visibility it’s about relevance. eBay didn't interrupt the viewing experience with traditional adverts. Instead, it became part of the programme, making its message feel authentic and natural.

In October 2025, Meta rolled out what many advertisers refer to as the Andromeda update a significant change to how the platform delivers ads and optimises campaigns. While updates like these are common, this one has had a noticeable impact on campaign performance, audience targeting, and advertising costs.

If you've noticed your Meta campaigns becoming more expensive or behaving differently, you're not imagining it. Here's what the update means and how you can adapt your strategy.

What is the Andromeda Update?

The Andromeda update is part of Meta's continued shift towards AI-powered advertising. Rather than relying heavily on manually built audiences and highly specific targeting, Meta is encouraging advertisers to give its machine learning more freedom to find the right people.

The platform now places greater emphasis on automation, predictive targeting, and creative performance, allowing its AI to determine who is most likely to convert based on user behaviour.

How is this affecting your ads?

One of the biggest changes many advertisers have experienced is an increase in CPMs (Cost Per Thousand Impressions).

As Meta's AI competes for the highest-quality users and advertisers rely more heavily on automated campaign types, competition has increased across many industries. This means businesses may find themselves paying more to reach their audience.

However, a higher CPM doesn't necessarily mean worse results. If campaigns are optimised correctly, improved conversion rates can still produce a strong return on ad spend.

Currently Andy Burnham is quietly putting on one of the smartest communications masterclasses in British politics. Not because he's dominating newspaper front pages, in fact quite the opposite.

He's recognised something that many brands, businesses and politicians are still struggling to come to terms with; if you don't believe traditional media is going to tell your story the way you want it told, stop relying on it.

Build your own channels instead and it's a lesson every communications professional should be paying attention to.

For years, politicians have relied on the same communications playbook. Land a splash in the papers. Get on breakfast TV. Hope your message survives the edit. But that's becoming an increasingly difficult strategy if you feel large parts of the media aren't interested in amplifying your successes, or are more likely to frame your story through conflict than policy.

Whether that's a fair assessment or not isn't really the point. The point is that Burnham appears to have adapted. Instead of spending all his energy trying to win over newspapers that may never fully buy into his message, he's taking it directly to audiences through podcasts, social media and long-form interviews.

Let's be honest. When people think about the pet industry, they usually think about dogs and cats.

Dogs dominate social media, TV adverts and industry events. Cats aren't far behind. But rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets? They can sometimes feel like the ‘forgotten’ members of the pet world. Then Piggy Fest happened.

As the agency supporting Supreme Petfoods, lead sponsor of Piggy Fest – Guinea Pig Festival 2026 - we were lucky enough to be part of the UK's first-ever official celebration of the cavia porcellus. And if anyone still thinks small pets are niche, the numbers tell a very different story.

The goal was to sell 500 tickets but, in the end, more than 2,700 people descended on Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park for a day dedicated entirely to guinea pigs. That's more than five times the original target, with people travelling from all over the UK and even the Netherlands to be there.

There's quite obviously a huge community hiding in plain sight. According to UK Pet Food, there are around 700,000 pet guinea pigs living in UK homes, with around 1.2% of households owning at least one.

It wasn't just the turnout at Piggy Fest that impressed us, it was the passion. The socials went crazy and when you see thousands of owners chatting about enrichment, swapping care tips, queueing to meet guinea pig influencers (yes, that's a thing) and celebrating the pets they absolutely adore, the statistics suddenly become very real.

It felt like this community that had finally been given its moment.

In a world dominated by digital marketing, it's easy to assume live events have lost their edge.

The reality is quite the opposite.

When they're backed by the right strategy, events remain one of the most powerful ways to build relationships, generate media coverage, create memorable content and put brands directly in front of the people who matter most.

Goodwood is a perfect example. It's much more than a racing event. It's a showcase of how sponsorships, hospitality, experiential activations and PR can work together to create lasting impact that extends well beyond the event itself.

The biggest wins don't come from simply turning up. They come from having a clear communications plan before, during and after the event.

The commercial vehicle sector is at a pivotal moment as UK businesses grapple with sustainability targets, evolving legislation, and the practical realities of fleet operations, therefore understanding the true state of decarbonisation has never been more important.

That's why the Commercial Vehicle Decarbonisation Report was created - to provide the industry with a clear, data-driven picture of where Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) and Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) operators currently stand on their journey to net zero.

Based on research conducted with Commercial Vehicle (CV) Show visitors, the report offers valuable insight into adoption levels, barriers, infrastructure challenges, and future expectations across the sector.
From generating the initial concept, developing the questionnaire, research analysis, content creation, design and final publication, the Nobull Agency team delivered the project from start to finish.

The commercial vehicle industry is inundated with opinions about decarbonisation, but what was missing was a concise report grounded in real operator feedback.

Working alongside the CV Show, Nobull developed a plan to create thought leadership content that would provide genuine market intelligence rather than speculation. The objective was simple: survey industry professionals, analyse the data, and present the findings in a format that decision-makers could easily understand and act upon.
