GlobalSense

GlobalSense is a business-to-business digital marketing agency working with export manufacturers that sell to buyers abroad. Nick Vivian and Nathan Mac Donald set it up in 2017, and as foreign specialists they review a maker's English website and marketing the way an overseas buyer would.

• Website design and content — English sites written by native-speaker writers who interview the client's engineers and sales staff.
• SEO — search optimisation so manufacturers can be found on Google.
