View case studyRIKON are a very innovative company to work with. They are intelligent, smart and insightful.

We now have a clear purpose and identity that is driving the company on.
Before working with RIKON we lacked a defined structure and objective. Their engagement process made us more focused and targeted. It also helped us to brainstorm on the product range we offer and to focus on who that range best serves. The culmination of our sessions with RIKON has been a strategy that will allow us to grow our business into the future.
RIKON were a pleasure to deal with and gave us a surprisingly fresh perspective on our business and marketing. We intend to implement all of RIKON’s proposals which we expect will increase our sales.
Working with the team at RIKON allowed me to take a step back from the day to day pressures of running the business and analyse my business model in a more strategic way. The researchers quickly got to grips with the nuances of both my own business and the industry in general. They provided the sort of useful insights that can only come from a fresh pair of eyes. RIKON’s research and analysis of the trends in the market place are feeding into my future strategy and have helped me to take practical steps to ensure my visibility is optimised. I have already recommended their services to other business managers and I will continue to do so in the future.
RIKON took the time to understand our business. They came up with lots of innovative and practical solutions for growing our business. We saw an increase in our website traffic and online sales. Our business really benefited from Mary Clare’s digital expertise. The team were very professional and natural communicators, willing to pull their sleeves up and get stuck in.
