Base Creative recently worked with Worldpay on a brand new website to showcase software companies that Worldpay partners with. It’s software vendors (like Shopify and Wix) that deal directly with merchants (shop owners and eCommerce stores) and this is a valuable source of new business for payment providers, like Worldpay.
Strategic partnerships and other associations like brand collaborations, I’ve always believed, are a brilliant way to leverage the strengths of each party.
Base Creative have recently collaborated with social media tool, ContentCal in the second series of the Sharing Social podcast. We share an audience segment, but we provide very different services (in fact, we’re a customer of ContentCal, as it’s one of the many tools we use to schedule social media posts).
And over the Spring and Summer months of 2021, we also partnered with the ICPA, a membership organisation for practising accountants in the UK, where we ran a series of live webinars on Google My Business, finding time efficiencies in marketing and marketing budgets.
With this in mind, I set out to learn more about some of the most successful partnerships and brand collaborations, and how they’ve benefited both parties.
