Be Astute Join Forces with Snook Digital

Be Astute are pleased to announce its exciting new partnership with Snook Digital, which is a creative digital marketing company specialising in e-commerce, website optimisation, and process improvement. As one of the South West’s leading management consulting firms, Be Astute knows that this collaboration will be a game changer. 

Bill Stock of Be Astute, has worked with Nathan and Snook Digital for the past two years, so it was a natural decision to formalise this partnership. 

Be Astute is all about collaboration, as the company was created by Bill and Julia Stock, a formidable husband and wife duo who decided to combine their individual years of expertise. They are business-focused IT specialists who have set up a business support company with a difference. 

As a duo, they excel in every department, with credentials such as taking a company with 100 staff which was 90% paper-based, with staff who were highly reluctant IT users, and over a period of 8 years made the business 99% paper-free. 

“This partnership means that we can offer clients more services than ever, allowing businesses to grow in ways that they did not even think were possible without our help”- Julia Stock 

Similarly, Snook Digital are champion of its craft. Building fast, intricate sites that engage users in a way that entices them to learn more about your business or product. Nathan and the team have years of experience in software development, testing, and real-world customer experience, transforming a business’s front end and enhancing its back-end process. 

Whilst Snook Digital specialises in digital marketing, Bill is an expert in databases with the ability to see your IT and data needs in relation to your whole business. To him, data is the blood supply of your business. This joint interest in the digital landscape and technology meant that a partnership was always going to happen between these two companies. Better data means better business, and Snook Digital and Be Astute can not be more excited to share this amazing collaboration.

Natalie Bedford: An Artist In Her Element

Bath artist Natalie Bedford announces her new exhibition ‘In my Element’.

Natalie Bedford invites you to In My Element

From the 5th of October through to the 16th, Natalie Bedford will be exhibiting a new collection of art at 44AD, Bath. 

This new exhibition by Natalie is a celebration of her love for water and swimming – for sea, quarries, rivers and pools. As an artist well known for her use of different media, Natalie does not like to limit herself artistically. This exhibition will showcase work with print, collage, painting, drawing and more. Not only will there be large paintings where viewers will feel immersed in the water but also smaller works and prints. Other artworks will be interactive with further pieces being slowly created throughout the life of the exhibit. 

Smaller framed pieces with accessible price points to larger canvases means viewers can take a piece home for themselves.

Natalie explains her inspiration, 

“I feel ‘in my element’ in the water. As soon as I get into the water, the environment changes. From air – one element – to water – another element – the world drastically morphs around me. A swimmer straddles the line between two worlds, cutting through a barrier only millimetres thick.”

“With In My Element, it’s like I want you to come swimming with me. Shades of blue. Water; seaweed. Greens. Small fish. Large swimming pools. Endless oceans. Water is all around us, and with ‘In My Element’ the viewer finds themselves engaged with their surroundings and experiencing an environment – moving through water.”

Stories, quotes, thoughts, and ideas will be collected from participating viewers and visitors can watch Natalie working during the exhibition. There will also be a free children’s workshop for all kids to join, where they can flex their own creative muscles, engaging the world of art and water all at once and together. 

“My aim is to make this an inviting space, where the visitors feel welcome. To encourage those who feel they ‘wouldn’t normally go to an exhibition’ to try it and discover something new, fresh and even playful.”
