Cecil Macdonald
The Challenge
Cecil Macdonald are a leading supplier of branded beers, wines, spirits, and snacking products to the UK Travel Retail market.
Cecil Macdonald approached us because the old website was well out of date and the client wanted a simpler brochure site, but of high quality to appeal to their industry contacts.
The new site was to act as a way for brand owners to find out more about the clients business, when doing their research.
Our Approach
We involved the whole Leadership Team to make sure everyone had input, so we were creating a website that was going to be popular with the team. Getting this stakeholder investment means we get things right at every stage.
On the About page we featured the Leadership Team to promote transparency and connect faces to the Cecil Macdonald name. This promotes a friendly, local company, in this corporate space, who are an important player, offering their clients great service.
We created a secondary theme for Ambassadors Choice, to promote the AC branding and offer a contrast with the Cecil Macdonald side of the business.
A page was also added to showcase the clients new Snackboxes collaboration with Jaq out the Box, including a product gallery to show the Snackboxes to potential interested parties.
The website is based on an easy-to-use CMS, backed up by full agency support from our team.
Results
The project has been a huge success in the following ways...
- Aligned with new branding
- Easier to make website updates
- Simplified, easy-to-read new website
- Alternative theme for Ambassadors Choice

I honestly could not of fell on my feet more with made simple media. Everything I asked for has been done, simplifying things i was unsure about and basically made what I had in my head become a reality. A big thing for me is the availability of being able to get in touch when needed to and this was no issue what so ever. I can’t thank you enough Dave

We are delighted with the website that Made Simple Media created for St Andrew's Church, N16. They really understood our vision for the project and turned it into reality, whilst suggesting additional ideas throughout. The whole project was seamless and enjoyable.

I am Chief Executive of a charity. When I took over our website crashed and we lost all our data. We switched hosts to Made Simple Media, took on a brand new CMS and we have never looked back. Dave was fantastic then and remains so. Always approachable, quick to respond and great tools to help you on your way.
