+10,690% year-on-year blog growth: how Blend Group’s blog became a real growth engine.
“As a single-person marketing team in a scaling organisation, Anna has been invaluable.”
A London agency built around access money alone can’t buy.
Blend Group is a London-based sports, events, and luxury lifestyle agency. They build bespoke experiences around some of the world’s most exclusive events, from Formula 1 weekends to Royal Ascot to Wimbledon, for clients who expect access money alone can’t buy.
Their blog, Insight, existed, but it wasn’t doing much. It moved slowly, wasn’t built around search, and wasn’t reconnecting with the community it was meant to serve.
Problem.
When Blend Group came to us, the Insight blog was idle. It published occasionally, without a keyword strategy, without a clear connection to the events people were searching for, and without much reason for the community to come back.
A blog attached to some of the most in-demand events in the world wasn’t showing up for any of them.
Solution.
We built a content plan tied directly to Blend Group’s yearly events calendar, publishing high-intent guides timed to when people start searching for Monaco, Ascot, Wimbledon, and the British Grand Prix.
- Every piece targeted the terms people were typing in around each event
- Published months ahead, so content was live and indexing before demand peaked
- Each guide built to rank for its event and pull the right audience back to the blog
Instead of generic seasonal filler, every guide had a job and a date.
What happened when Insight stopped sitting idle.
None of this happened by accident. The jump in June marks the point where a blog with almost no organic footprint the year before started showing up consistently in search, and it kept building from there.
Across the full pilot, Insight didn’t just get more visits, it got more real ones: active users climbed right alongside total views, which means the growth wasn’t a single spike but a genuine shift in who was finding the blog.
Engagement time per user went from a baseline close to zero to a real, measurable stretch of actual reading. People weren’t landing on the page and leaving; they were reading through guides built around events they already cared about.
The partnership is still going strong, and still building on the foundation those first three months put in place.

“Ideating, creating, and uploading content is a considerable undertaking and Anna has added a breath of fresh air to this process. From the first onboarding call, it was clear that her attention to detail and organisation was excellent.
The Client Portal is an effective way to manage deliverables. Her attention to metrics and progression is also evident. We have gone from struggling to produce written content each month to now consistently publishing strategically timed articles each week.
The decision to extend our agreement with Anna was a no-brainer and I look forward to our engagement graphs continuing to trend upward with her support.”
