Marketing Services
Strategic, practical marketing support designed to help businesses strengthen their brand, communicate more clearly and connect more effectively with their customers.
With more than 17 years' experience across marketing, communications, brand development, PR and customer experience, I provide flexible consultancy for businesses that need senior-level expertise without employing a full-time marketing lead.
Marketing Consultation
Expert advice and direction for your business.
Ideal if you need an experienced outside perspective, have reached a marketing crossroads or are unsure where to focus your time and budget.
During a dedicated consultation, we'll discuss your business, customers, current marketing activity, challenges and commercial goals. I'll identify immediate opportunities and provide practical recommendations to help you move forward.
You'll receive:
- A dedicated marketing consultation
- An assessment of your current challenges and opportunities
- Strategic advice tailored to your business
- Recommended priorities and practical next steps
- A personalised digital consultation summary
This is an advice-led service and does not include a complete marketing strategy or ongoing campaign management.
Marketing Strategy & Planning
A clear and actionable direction for your marketing.
Ideal for businesses that need greater structure, consistency and purpose behind their marketing activity.
I'll review your business objectives, target customers, positioning, existing activity and available resources before developing a focused strategy. The result will be a realistic marketing plan that identifies where to concentrate your efforts and how marketing can support your wider commercial goals.

The strategy will provide clear direction that your internal team, external suppliers or agency partners can implement.
Brand Positioning & Messaging
Clarify what makes your business different
Ideal for new, evolving or established businesses whose branding and messaging no longer clearly reflect who they are or the value they provide.
I'll help you define your positioning, target audience, key messages, tone of voice and customer promise. This creates a consistent foundation for your website, social media, campaigns and wider communications.
You'll receive:
- A review of your existing brand positioning
- A clearly defined value proposition
- Target audience guidance
- Core brand messages
- Brand personality and tone-of-voice direction
- A concise brand messaging framework
- Recommendations for applying the messaging consistently
This service focuses on brand strategy and verbal identity rather than logo or graphic design.
Communication & PR Consultancy
Communicate with clarity, consistency and purpose.
Ideal for businesses preparing for a launch, announcement or period of change, or those that need a more structured approach to external or internal communications.
I'll help you identify the right messages, audiences, channels and timing, ensuring your communications support both your reputation and wider business goals.
You'll receive:
- A review of your communications requirements
- Key messages tailored to relevant audiences
- A communications plan and recommended timeline
- Advice on suitable channels and opportunities
- Drafting or editing of agreed communications materials

PR support can include identifying media opportunities and preparing materials, but media coverage cannot be guaranteed.

Ideal if you know what you want to communicate but need help turning your ideas into polished, engaging content.

Website & Digital Presence Audit
Make your online presence clearer and more effective.
Ideal if your website or digital channels feel dated, inconsistent or unclear, but you're unsure what needs to change.
I'll review your website from a marketing, messaging and customer perspective, looking at how clearly it communicates who you are, what you offer and what visitors should do next. I can also assess consistency across your wider digital presence.
You'll receive:
- A review of your website structure and messaging
- Feedback on service and product descriptions
- An assessment of brand consistency
- Review of calls to action and customer journeys

Customer Database & CRM Strategy
Turn customer information into more meaningful communication.
Ideal for businesses with an existing customer database that is underused, unstructured or not supporting their marketing goals.
I'll review how your customer information is organised and used, identify meaningful audience segments and recommend ways to improve customer communication, retention and re-engagement.
You'll receive:
- A review of your current database and CRM approach
- Recommended customer segments
- Customer lifecycle and communication opportunities

This is a strategic service and does not include technical CRM implementation, data migration or legal and GDPR compliance advice. Any customer data shared must be appropriately authorised and handled in line with applicable data-protection requirements.
Flexible Marketing Support
If your business needs a combination of services or ongoing senior marketing input, support can be tailored around a specific project, launch, period of change or agreed number of consultancy days.
Get in touch with some information about your business, current challenges and goals, and I'll recommend the most appropriate level of support.
