Symbiotics approached Codastar with a need of a revamp of their social media platforms, so with a sprinkling of social magic, the end results are here!

Linkedin company pages are frequently neglected by companies, leaving it easy for the competition to swoop in with a statement page and blow them away –  which is exactly what Symbiotics can do. The cover image is bold, with 3 tabs added to segment the companies services for ease of use.

Their Twitter page not only packs a purple punch, but now displays prominent contact details and all addresses/mediums that Symbiotics appear on for an extra push for conversion and cross platform engagement.

Google+ has had an overhaul, and now holds a striking banner image and profile picture which fit together perfectly, making the entire page stand out.

Lastly Facebook have had a similar cover and profile image redesign, and included clear contact details to encourage customers to get in touch. We also designed and developed  a funky ‘Fast’ tab, where once you have liked the page, you can access a free PDF document, clear click-throughs to their main website and clear and concise information to depict exactly why you should chose them for business.
