Ecommerce digital marketing agency
Pumpkin is an ecommerce digital marketing agency. We're based near Southampton.
We started in 2007, around the time the internet first became a marketing thing, so we have more experience than most.
You won't have to deal with pushy salespeople. There are just a few of us at Pumpkin - Neil, Sonya, Neil (2!), and Helen.
Neil Kerr
Neil Kerr, Founder and MD
- 1. To deliver a more ethical, supportive service for people
- 2. To provide helpful guidance, peace of mind and a healthy return on investment
- 3. To be refreshingly different to all those other digital marketing agencies
Neil is a technical specialist. He knows more about WordPress than most people have forgotten, and he’s one of very few experts in ecommerce websites.
He’s a natural problem solver. Any kind of technical issue, from email to API integrations, Neil will sort it out.
By the way… Before moving into digital marketing, Neil was a well-known recording engineer. (Ask him about Craig David).
Sonya Kumar
Commercial Director
LLB, Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice (Distinction)
Sonya is a qualified lawyer. She worked as a solicitor for 10 years before joining Neil at Pumpkin. She’d realised there was more to life than logging timesheets.
Sonya is both naturally creative and extremely organised – a rare combination. If you work with us, you’ll appreciate this as much as we do.
Sonya is our Customer Services Coordinator. When you tell us what you want, Sonya will hear you…properly. She’ll uncover what you need, and the most economical way to deliver it. That way, you’ll get the results you’re looking for.
When she’s not working, Sonya reads a lot about psychology and what makes us tick as humans. She also loves walking in the Hampshire countryside and by the sea with Neil and her daughter.
Neil Scott
Graphic Designer
Neil Scott is our graphic designer. He makes your website look beautiful… but it’s more than that.
Neil also makes sure the website does its job. He’ll ask you a series of smart questions, starting with this one: What do you want the website to achieve?
After an in-depth conversation with you, Neil puts himself in the shoes of your potential customer. The end result is a website you can be proud of, which instinctively appeals to its user. Visitors can quickly find what they need and take action.
In short, Neil helps you meet the business objective of your website. He’s been doing this for businesses since 1996.
When he’s not working, Neil loves off-roading on a mountain bike, riding on The Hamble to Cheesefoot Head in Winchester with his son.
Helen Beckingham
SEO copywriter
Helen Beckingham is our copywriter. She saves you from the painful, time-devouring job of writing your own website content. It’s always difficult to write about yourself. You can’t read the label of the jar you’re in.
Helen sees your value from the outside, from a customer’s point of view — and she’ll clearly explain that value in your own business voice. She’s been doing this since 2011.
Helen hones in on the details which encourage readers to make a buying decision. It’s easy to read, with no wasted words, because online readers are busy. They’re easily distracted.
She also sorts out the on-page SEO which sits within the content. As a result, your website becomes more prominent on search engines. It’s visible to people who need your services.
When she’s not working, Helen plays the bassoon in symphony orchestras. Well, someone’s got to.
