More than just marketing advice
I relish a challenge. Businesses today need to offer value to their clients who crave quiet in a noisy world. Working with you as an extension to their management or marketing team, I’m more than happy to roll my sleeves up and do whatever needs to be done to help achieve these objectives. I can also offer consultancy on a flexible and ad hoc basis whether that be to implement a marketing plan or help with a specific campaign.
Marketing Strategy
Do you have a bulletproof marketing strategy? When was the last time you looked at it? Developing a marketing strategy is vital for any business. Without one, your efforts are likely to be haphazard and inefficient. I can work with you to develop a 12 – 36 month strategic marketing plan including market background & research, objectives, and comprehensive marketing communications plan.
Marketing Consultancy
Completely flexible marketing support tailored to what you need right now – whether it is a half day training session or ongoing consultancy. I will work with your existing management or marketing team and audit your current marketing and then create and deliver a strategic marketing plan that will work for you. I won’t just make a to-do list, I will prioritise what really matters and implement your plan.

PR and Ghost Writing
Do you struggle putting pen to paper? All businesses are different, but one thing is sure, it is important to be heard and to get across your key messages and expertise. There is no point creating content if your audience can’t relate to it. From blog posts and article writing for your target audience, to press releases and expert comment, I can help you get your name in the press, when you want it.
Social Media Strategy
You might not like it, but you can’t avoid it. Social media platforms help improve your online profile and if you don’t have time to update your blogs or social media accounts then I can do this for you. In addition to developing a strategy, I can also provide training for your staff on all social media platforms including Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter and how to get these to work for you.
Digital Marketing
Whether it is website development and management, email newsletters, or social media, I can help you grow your online business so that it takes you to the next level. l will look at what marketing tactics you have used in the past and analyse what worked, what didn’t, and why. Then I will make sure you use the right digital tools and provide ongoing analysis of each campaign.
Communications
Marketing is not just about making things look pretty. Content is key. With increasing constraints on budgets, it is important you produce the right communications with the right messages. I can help you with brochures, direct mail, email newsletters and all sorts of corporate literature, making sure all your communications look good and sound great.
