What We Do

Marketing is the essential link between you and your customer. Lume drives the growth of small and medium-sized business by making this link as strong as possible. We identify attainable goals for your business then create a marketing road map to get you there.

One-off project. Or long-term partnership?

Lume can assist in solving a specific challenge or delivering an individual project. Or we can work in partnership to deliver full ongoing marketing support. We can also cover maternity leave contracts. 

In either case, we provide a full range of essential marketing services including:
Strategic Marketing Planning
We identify key strategic objectives and create the marketing masterplan that will deliver on them. We lead the development of creative marketing campaigns designed to attract attention. 
Podcast Production

We help companies build their brand by producing broadcast quality Podcasts which are a great way to create original, innovative, and engaging content for digital marketing to engage customers and effectively attract a new audience.
Digital Campaign Management
Online campaigns must be managed dynamically and be agile enough that they can be amended in real time. We manage and intervene when circumstances demand immediate action.
Project Management
We manage the day-to-day challenges of projects, working at forensic-level detail. We’re flexible enough to cope with the unexpected and determined enough to push ahead whatever the obstacles.
Branding & Positioning
We create a clear brand identity and promise. Doing so requires imagination combined with the ability to analyse the marketplace and identify where real potential exists.
Franchise Management
We draw on experience and a wealth of knowledge to ensure the precise brand consistency and compliance needed for a franchise to be successful.
Online Projects
We know that a website is a business’s shop window and, often, its shop floor too. As such, we make sure it delivers the most positive and engaging experience possible and is fully equipped to handle all sales and ecommerce requirements efficiently and effectively.
Comedy Shows and Motivational Talks

We work with companies to provide entertainment for webinars, Christmas parties, company meetups.  We can tailor entertainment and motivational talks for companies to include staff participation.
Training, Conferences, Events & Festivals
Training, festivals, events and conferences are a big commitment but are also huge marketing opportunities. We manage all aspects of these to ensure maximum return from the time and money invested in them. We have extensive experience in planning and delivering training programs for clients.

Applying our extensive experience in the Irish property market, we managed the design and delivery of an overseas property portal padinportugal.com.
