Some of you may remember me from this thread:

The UK’s First Bitcoin Marketing Agency Launcheshttp://www.bitnewt.com/Bitnewt is a new Bitcoin-based marketing agency that is dedicated to assisting Bitcoin start-ups and helping traditional firms wanting to accept Bitcoin. Bitnewt is the first bitcoin marketing agency in the UK and third globally. For new companies in the Bitcoin field, getting a brand up and running and generating awareness is of the highest importance.
“I initially started working for Bitcoin start-ups as a marketing consultant” says Founder and Account Manager, Josh Blatchford. “As each project became bigger than the last, it became clear to me that my clients need and deserve a full-team. And so I up-scaled into an agency, with the help of the best creative minds I know”.

Why Bitcoin is Important
While Bitcoin has been gaining more traction in the media, there is still some confusion as to what makes it such an awesome thing for business owners. The reasons are as follows:
Low transaction fees – the current fee is a flat-rate of around $0.07. When this is compared to the 2.9% (plus flat fees of around $0.30 on top of that), it is clear which one is the winner here
Blazing fast transfers – funds sent through the network are usually seen instantly, and are confirmed within 10 minutes
No chargebacks – there is absolutely no fraud from chargebacks as they are not possible. This means when a payment is received (and confirmed), businesses can rest assured that the money is theirs
International payments – there is no fee for sending international payments. It does not matter where a business or a customer are located; the funds are sent in the same manner and with the same fees regardless. With credit cards, there are usually fees attached to both ends of the deal
All of these things make Bitcoin the perfect choice for any business that deals with money. It is simple to set up, cheap to use and extremely safe. This means more money in the business and less being taken out due to fraud and fees.
Supporting the Bitcoin EconomyBitnewt helps support the Bitcoin economy by doing something most other businesses simply do not do: holding on to coins instead of selling them. This means that the coins are not just being liquidated as soon as they are obtained, and therefore do not have any negative impact on the economy. As a result, supporting Bitnewt and paying via Bitcoin is a great way to help cut down on the amount of liquidation that is happening with most businesses that take the cryptocurrency.
Bitnewt ClientsBitnewt has worked with multiple high-profile clients (and continues to do so) in the Bitcoin field. Some of these include:

Through working with all of these clients, the skills of the Newts have been refined time and time again to give personalized experience to each one. This ensures that whether a business is new or old, known or not, Bitnewt is capable of increasing awareness and business.
