Clients & Case Studies

“When Suraj approached me to discuss how best to use the web to promote my new book, little did I realise how simple it would be to bring together all my under-used resources and embed them into a unified digital marketing strategy.

Suraj then liaised with my publisher, design agency and film production team to diligently deliver an engaging collection of online resources for those interested in my book and a personal digital hub from which to attract more opportunities to reach out to more people.

Suraj is clearly switched-on to a wide range of online and traditional marketing approaches. He has consistently brought fresh ideas to my team, whilst remaining grounded to achieve what’s required for the business using what’s immediately at hand. I’m looking forward to working with Suraj on further projects.”

“Suraj Shah worked with me to publicise the ‘Be The Change’ event at Central Hall Westminster in November 2007.

He impressed me with his commitment, his staying power, his knowledge of the workings of the Internet and his pleasant manners.

Using a viral internet marketing campaign, he succeeded in advertising the event to groups of young people who we would not have reached otherwise – many of them spent three days with us at our conference.

I enjoyed working with Suraj and I hope we can work together again in the future.”

- Herbert Girardet, Director of Programmes, World Future Council

“I would NOT recommend Suraj to anyone else, because I want to keep him for myself!

No, seriously, all joking aside, my only reservation about Suraj’s work is that I would like to see him do more of it, and charge more.

Working with Suraj on the jazzreloaded project was a blessing. Everyone that knows me knows I’m a tough customer, and I consistently demand the best. Fortunately Suraj has that blend of diligence, humility and persistence, that made his consultations and his work process key to the project’s success this year.

He developed and delivered a website solution that was functional, easy to use, interesting to look at, and content driven. He didn’t disappear off into a corner and start programming the way I know coders usually do. His marketing knowledge gave him the edge in working out a tailor made solution for my customer base. And what made his process enjoyable was the degree of consultation in every step of the process, and his willingness to research and suggest new ideas. I know Suraj’s work is one of the main reasons that www.jazzreloaded.com was able to collect the Parliamentary Award for Jazz Publication of the year 2009.”

- Mr Taylor, Editor in Chief, www.jazzreloaded.com

“Yes, Suraj is my son, and naturally I’ve always wanted him to succeed in all that he does in life. However, I could never fully understand the work that he did and how it could help a business like mine.

Then came the time when I started to seriously look at the need to rebrand my small plumbing business into a formal company that focuses on central heating installations and maintenance. During this time, Suraj worked with me, as he would with his other clients, to form a marketing strategy to attract more clients to this transformed business.

Since then, I’ve had many positive comments from existing clients about the new website that Suraj set up for me, and am delighted to see a huge rise in the number of web enquiries. Suraj tells me that we’ll next be looking at how best to incorporate video into the marketing mix, which I’m definitely looking forward to!”

-Dinesh Shah, Clear Heating

“I recently had a consultation with Suraj Shah to develop the marketing funnel, which is about recognising what resources you do actually have and how to order and maximise them. I came away from the meeting clear on what I have to offer and how to go about it. Suraj listened closely and his feedback allowed me to see some very positive steps that I was missing.”

- Tim Stone, Professional Guitarist

“Working with Suraj was a great eye-opener into the internet world for me. If you’re looking to work with someone first based on building a good business relationship before design, then Suraj is the person to work with. Recommended.”

- Kavit Haria, musician & entrepreneur

“I first met Suraj by chance on LinkedIn in May 2008 at the time that I was beginning to write the final version of my book. I was immediately impressed with his drive and motivation and with his considerable knowledge of all things Digital and Social Media and looked for an opportunity to benefit from that ability.

I published my book – ‘Thorntons – My Life in Family Business‘ in October 2009, the book had an immediate favourable response from readers and reviewers both as a book for general readership and for those interested in business and Family Business. My need was to bring the book to the attention of a much wider market and a simple way to do this seemed to be via a specific website.

I discussed the idea with Suraj who suggested that he could create a dedicated website with specific sections for Reviews, Media, CV etc.. We agreed an outline and Suraj completed the job very quickly.
Although only just created at this date in December 2009, the website is already proving very beneficial particularly in that I am able to direct interested parties to it for very full information about the book, speaking availability, speaking events, media reviews etc. I am convinced that it is a very worthwhile tool and will be of increasing benefit as time goes on. Suraj is now working in co-operation with my publisher Tomahawk Press in order to maximise the marketing opportunity.

Suraj responds very quickly to all my communications and gets work done fast to a very high standard, I would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs advice on marketing using Digital and Social Media and fast and simple implementation of suitable solutions.”

“Suraj is an exceptionally talented professional who epitomizes excellence. He has consistently exceeded our expectations and gone the extra mile for us on countless occasions. Beyond possessing outstanding consultation skills, what separates Suraj from any other professional we have worked with is his genuine interest and commitment to our success. He truly cares for his clients, and it shows through every thing he does.

I feel nothing but immense gratitude for all that Suraj has done for us. He came into our lives at the perfect time. We were in dire need of a stronger web presence to help us reach out to prospective clients, and he showed us the way to make that possible. Suraj is the expert I count on for e-marketing strategies, and I highly recommend him to anyone striving for the best solutions possible.
