As part of it, the team there sat down with our founder, Alex, for their Meet the Founder series. It turned into a proper look under the bonnet of Pollard Media: how the agency started life as a name and a bit of freelance work back in 2019, why we'll only ever work with one client per sector per area, how saying no to work led us to build a referral network with other agencies...]]></description><link>https://www.pollard-media.co.uk/post/meet-the-founder-alex-pollard-in-his-own-words</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9742f7796715a5cd527920</guid><category><![CDATA[Insights]]></category><category><![CDATA[Latest News]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 21:47:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c4d86f_65afd116194c4a4a8fbc20afe7bb3e24~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Alexander Pollard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meta's New Location Fees: What UK Businesses Need to Know]]></title><description><![CDATA[If your business runs ads on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp, your costs are about to go up – quietly, and in a way that won't show up where you'd expect to see it. From 1st July 2026, Meta is introducing a new "location fee" on advertising delivered to UK audiences. The headline number is small: 2%. But the way it's applied has real consequences for your budgeting, reporting, and judgment about whether your campaigns are actually working. Here's what's changing and what to do about it....]]></description><link>https://www.pollard-media.co.uk/post/meta-s-new-location-fees-what-uk-businesses-need-to-know</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b2e8aa100d2ff063a5c81a</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 08:30:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c4d86f_b80355cc41ff4e1ea864b2212ad56cc3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_958,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Alexander Pollard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does Your Website Need a Redesign? 7 Signs It's Quietly Costing You Customers]]></title><description><![CDATA[A failing website usually doesn't make a scene. It won't crash or show an error. Instead, it quietly underperforms: you miss out on enquiries, visitors leave before reaching your contact page, or a potential customer picks a more polished competitor. You never see the customers you lose, which is why an outdated website is so risky. For an established business, the question is almost never "Do we have a website?" You already do. The real question is whether your website is helping you or...]]></description><link>https://www.pollard-media.co.uk/post/does-your-website-need-a-redesign-7-signs-it-s-quietly-costing-you-customers</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2c2880f7064a4e83d55e9a</guid><category><![CDATA[Insights]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 08:00:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c4d86f_44f6a6cf4a504d6aa2a6934c5396c7b1~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Alexander Pollard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Choose the Right Marketing Agency: A Buyer's Guide]]></title><description><![CDATA[Choosing a digital agency seems straightforward until you actually start the process. Every agency's website promises the same things: "results-driven," "your trusted partner," "award-winning." After a while, all the pitches sound alike. If you pick the wrong one, the real cost isn't just the fee. You could lose a year, see your pipeline stall, and risk the credibility you worked hard to build with your board.
