Why Clients Recommend Us

Unique Communications helped enhance and optimise our e-commerce website and SEO, giving a better user experience and driving more traffic to the site. We have made many changes and additions to our website, including adding abandoned cart emails, click & collect, and categories to our blog pages. They have set up Facebook and Instagram ads and Google shopping, increasing traffic to our website. They are a pleasure to work with, and the whole team is friendly and approachable.

Having had a bad experiences with previous web developers and digital marketing companies it was a breath of fresh air to see the transparency and genuine interest of Duane and the team from Unique Communications. They undertook the complete redevelopment of our website and optimising our SEO to drive more traffic to the site. They also developed a new digital advertising strategy for us for Ireland and the UK, setting up new Google, Facebook and Instagram ads. This has resulted in better targeted ads, increased traffic and leads and a significant reduction in cost per click and cost per conversion. We would have no hesitation in recommending Unique Communications.

Duane, Robert, and the team from Unique Communications were extremely professional and fantastic to work with. It was clear from the outset that they were an excellent fit for our web development project. Their insights and expertise into digital marketing, and their structured approach and guidance took the stress out of upgrading our website to begin our journey of selling to our customers online. They took the time to truly understand our vision and requirements and were available to take a call or respond to an email whenever we needed their insights or support. The team at Unique Communications went above and beyond our expectations. We are very happy with their work and the outputs they produced and look forward to working with them again. We would recommend them in a heartbeat!

It was a great experience working with Unique Communications. We now have a more user-friendly website that also helps customers connect with our family business more easily. Their expertise and insights into digital marketing are helping drive more online sales which we are very reliant on during these challenging times. We would definitely recommend Unique Communications.

Unique Communications have been a great company to work with. In a quiet and unassuming way they have gone about the tasks assigned to them efficiently and with great creative flare. Each project has completed on time and with huge insight and understanding of our company needs, which has directly transferred to create for us, two new brand identities, which have been acclaimed in the food sector. I will continue to work with Duane and his team in the future and would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a small creative company that cares!

Unique Communications are a pleasure to deal with. They perfectly combine their creativity, prompt communication and genuine interest in the client to deliver a professional and client-centred service. We are very happy with our experience. Nothing was too much trouble! We started with our website and then evolved into a re-branding, stationary design and internal and external signage design. Duane took time to focus on really understanding the underlying business history and future goals and was tremendously patient through all design processes. Very happy to recommend Unique Communications.
