SERVICES / MARKETING

Stop doing RAMS.

Start doing marketing that actually works.

Random Acts of Marketing. A bit of social. A new flyer. An ad somewhere. None of it joined up. None of it really working.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. What you need isn’t more activity, it’s clarity on what you’re actually trying to say and to who.

Think of me as your outsourced marketing partner. Strategy, direction and the hands-on work, all from one experienced person who’s been doing this properly for thirty years.

How it works

Start where you are.
Build from there.

free

Marketing Health Check

Five minutes. Ten questions. Straight answers on where your marketing is working and where it isn’t, plus what to fix first.

Marketing Health Check

Who It's for

The leads aren’t coming in, or not enough of them, and the business isn’t making what it should. You’ve tried different things but nothing’s shifted it.

Nine times out of ten it comes down to the foundations, your positioning, your message or your branding not being clear or solid enough to do the job.

WHAT IT SCORES

how it helps

You’ll see what’s working, what to focus on next and a clear plan to get there, plus a free 30 minute call with me to talk it through.

02

£550

Brand & Marketing Clarity Session.

Properly prepared, properly focused. Two hours that get to the heart of your business.

Who It's for

You know things aren’t quite working, but you’re too close to it to see clearly. You want someone who can to tell you straight what’s actually going on and a plan to fix it.

HOW IT WORKS

Before we meet, I research your business, your market, your competitors and how you’re currently coming across. So when we sit down, we get straight to what matters.

The session itself is two hours of focused thinking, entirely on your business, spent wherever it’s most useful for you.

Afterwards you get a written report covering everything we discussed and agreed, so you leave with real clarity and something concrete to act on.

Taking the free Marketing Health Check first isn’t essential, but it gives us both a head start.”

In the session we will cover:

From £550/ mo

Momentum — three ways to work together

A proper working partnership, not a retainer that gathers dust. Three ways in, depending on where you are and how much you want taken off your plate.

One-off project

from £2,200

1-2 months

Momentum Project

A focused sprint to get things properly aligned, moving and ready to go.

One project. Clear scope, clear outcome. For businesses that have identified something specific that needs sorting and want it done properly, with someone who knows what they’re doing.

It could be getting your 3Ms aligned and in place, a campaign planned and ready to run, or a key marketing pillar built out from start to finish. We agree the scope and the outcome before anything starts.

What's included

Need more than strategic direction? Design work, content creation, social media and campaign implementation can be added through Momentum Plus.

Strategic direction

£950+ / mo

3 months plus

Momentum

Your experienced marketing partner advising the team.
Without the cost of hiring one.

Who it's for

You’re a business owner doing your own marketing and it’s becoming unmanageable. You don’t have an in-house team. You’re not sure what to prioritise. You want experienced direction and someone to keep you honest about what’s actually working.

Strategic partnership. I’m in your corner every month, thinking with you, planning with you and making sure the right things get done in the right order. Some call this a Fractional Marketing Director. I just call it Momentum.

Strategy with Action

6 months plus

Momentum Plus

Strategy and implementation.
I’m in your business, not just advising it.

Who it's for

You want everything in Momentum plus the hands-on work actually done. You don’t have an in-house team to implement. You want consistent, professional marketing output without managing multiple suppliers.

Everything in Momentum plus agreed implementation work each month. We plan it together and then I get it done. The scope is agreed at the start of each month so there are no surprises.

These are examples of the pillars we can focus on together.
We agree the priorities and pillars up front and lock in the first three months so the work compounds.

SELECTED WORK

Marketing that
made a difference

Every one of these started with a conversation. Here’s some of what came next from brand identity and marketing materials to full strategy and ongoing support.

CLIENTS SAY

Straight answers
No small print.

Do I need to start with the Health Check?

No. The Health Check is free and useful but every service stands on its own. It’s a good place to start if you’re not sure yet, and it comes with a free call with me to talk through what it found. Most people use it to see where they stand before deciding what to invest in.

Momentum runs for a minimum of three months. Momentum Plus runs for a minimum of six months. Both start with a conversation so we are both clear it is the right thing and we can work together, before anything is agreed.

The Clarity Session is a one-off workshop session that gets you clear on your positioning, message and priorities.

A Momentum Project takes that further, it is 1-2 months of focused work with a specific deliverable at the end. A campaign built and ready to run. A marketing pillar properly in place. Something done, not just planned.

Of course. Momentum works well alongside an existing marketing executive or junior team member. You get senior level direction and they get someone to work with properly. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to get experienced marketing leadership without a full-time hire.

That is what the Momentum Project is for. A fixed scope, a fixed fee, a fixed timeframe. We agree what needs doing and get it done.

No. I’m one person with thirty years of experience, working alongside designers, developers and specialists in social, SEO and Google, all people I’ve built proper working relationships with over twenty-one years in business. I’m always the one you talk to. I oversee everything and make sure it stays consistent with your brand, whoever’s doing the work behind the scenes.

York, Yorkshire. But most of the work happens remotely. Clients are based all over the UK.

Let's have a proper chat

Not sure which one fits? That’s what the call is for.

Free, 30 minutes, no pitch. We’ll work out what you actually need and whether I’m the right fit. Often it’s clearer after one conversation than after months of overthinking.

OR GET IN TOUCH DIRECTLY

Based in York. Working with owner-led businesses across the UK.
