Challenge
Guide London represents the membership of the Association of Professional Tourist Guides. Specifically, 500+ qualified and knowledgeable London Blue Badge Tourist Guides offering tours of London and beyond in over 30 different languages. After a competitive process, Guide London hired Moxee Marketing in the summer of 2014 as their website was underperforming. In fact, they had no real sense of the number of leads being secured. Also, the website traffic was stagnant, and there was little to no social media presence — only 146 Twitter fans.
