Greetings from the team at JDR! It's been a hectic couple of weeks in the aftermath of the Coronavirus outbreak, and we've had to make some rapid changes to the way we work. All of our team are working remotely, and we're anticipating even more changes in the coming weeks. You've probably had to do the same in your own business, so we're all in the same boat.

It makes us miss the days of the relentless Brexit updates!

If all goes to plan, in 2-3 months the UK will start to lift the social restrictions and the UK can go back to work. We all expect there to be a surge in demand when this happens, but it won’t be business as usual - this crisis will change business practices forever and your business will need to adapt to the new world.

Hi, my name is Josh and I’m a digital marketing executive at JDR Group, working here for three years.

I’m going to share with you what a typical day looks like here at JDR Group and how I support clients with their marketing efforts.

My name is Jess, and I’ve been at JDR for a year and a half now. I was new to digital marketing, but I brought my attention to detail and eagerness to learn!

I’m going to talk a little bit about what the typical day at JDR is like for me and what I usually get up to. There’s a lot of us on the Production team so we all have separate responsibilities.

Here’s a snapshot of mine!

Do you remember our Book Club? Click here to refresh your memory. Every month at JDR we recommend one book that’ll really be worth your time, and this month’s feature is an extra special treat – yes, we’ve got not just one book for your reading list, but TWO!

Two books?! Better grab a coffee, block out some time, and get stuck in!

JDR’s Kerry had the pleasure of being invited by Shakin’ It Derby to attend the intu Derby Retailer Awards. Our favourite milkshake superstars Shakin’ It won Retailer Of The Year which, up against so many longstanding retailers, was no easy feat! Not only did they show themselves to be the best retailer going, they were also highly commended for Customer Service (Keep Calm And Grab A Milkshake!), and Food and Drink Awards! Props to an amazing team and their fab selection of milkshakes – what a year to be ‘Shakin’ It’!

JDR featured on BBC Radio Derby last night, joining radio host Steve Jordan to discuss the latest news from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – the couple joined Instagram, and hit 1 million subscribers only 6 hours later!

This client approached us with a casual interest in digital marketing. With a new budget excess, the client decided to shift focus and see what a new image could do for them. As a specialist in thermal engineering this business designs, manufactures, installs and supports heat treatment products.

It's Google's 20th anniversary, and to celebrate they have released a whole new array of search updates.
