Labrow Marketing is not responsible for the content of external Web sites
“Labrow Marketing has come up with exactly what I wanted – a website that’s simple, clean and fresh – a reflection of the type of design work for which we are known.”
Greg Swindells, Design Splash

Labrow Marketing and Bawden Quinn
A unique and highly effective partnership, delivering high-quality content-managed websites
Our relationship with technical development and IT consulting company Bawden Quinn is especially close; the majority of the content-managed websites we create are delivered in partnership with Bawden Quinn, with both companies working seamlessly to deliver a single solution.
Why two companies?
There are times when two heads are better than one – it’s as simple as that. Labrow Marketing specialises in Web consulting, design, content and optimisation; Bawden Quinn specialises in technical development and content management implementation. Of course, our skills overlap – we work together on strategies for website functionality and search engine optimisation, for example. Our approach is successful and enables us to work as a unified team, but remain focused on our core competencies.
Does it make working with you more complex?
Not at all: clients work with a single point of contact (or with both companies, if they prefer). In fact, feedback from clients is that they value the high levels of expertise each company brings and recognise that the quality of that expertise is as a result of focus and specialisation.
Who does what?
On some parts of a website project, we will work together (such as the initial strategy) and on some parts we work separately. Although we specialise in different areas, there is some overlap: and our views and ethics on all elements of Web development are fully aligned. Our activities break down roughly as:
Labrow Marketing
- Website strategy
- Website design
- Website content creation
- Website optimisation (such as search engine optimisation, usability and accessibility)
- Post-implementation user support
Bawden Quinn
- Website strategy
- Technical consulting
- Technical development
- Content management system implementation
- Ongoing website hosting and technical support
A unique proposition
By working together, Labrow Marketing and Bawden Quinn offer a unique proposition: the end-to-end development of high-quality content-managed business-to-business websites – everything from helping to develop the initial strategy to helping to maintain the website’s content on an ongoing basis.
