MARKETING HELP FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Ways you can use me to meet your objectives
Hire me for a project.
Have you got a project you want to run, but not the time, knowledge or capacity to do it for yourself?
By using me for your project I will bring my 16 years of experience across print production, press ad management, events, email management, website build projects, content strategy and management, and marketing strategy & planning. The list really does go on and on!
I can work as your plug-in marketing manager across the period of time a project operates, from before its conception, through planning, implementation and execution to help boost your capacity and get the job done. I can call in and manage specialists such as web developers, copywriters, PR managers, point of sale companies and print companies. I can help you to screen agencies to select the right one.
I can provide the analysis and plans for your marketing staff, your VA, your social media assistant or your events team to roll out. I can help them to do it well by designing professional graphics, supplying video edits or facilitating other skilled tasks. I can support them by telling them how to tweak and refine the marketing activity that’s being undertaken. I can proofread and authorise their work if they are junior. My attention to detail and thoroughness will help to bring your client communications up to speed.
I can build processes for you to make sure your work is done to a high standard such as sign-off procedures, timing plans, project plans and budget suggestions. If you want, I can tell you how to best spend your budget!
Hire me for ongoing marketing support
Regular support to tackle your key marketing needs.
Sign up for a monthly support agreement and I will work with you to address the marketing needs you have within your business.
That might include developing projects that target certain customer segments through sales funnels, engaging audiences and converting leads to sales by implementing email marketing campaigns, working on your content development, and seeing through anything that you have a medium-to-long-term need for.
When you hire me for packages of 2+ days a month, you can enjoy a reduction on my day rate of £300 subject to the number of days booked. Scroll down to see more.
Marketing consultancy - one-off bigger strategic projects
Use me as a consultant to audit your marketing and make recommendations for your marketing activity.
I follow Chartered Institute of Marketing and Google’s processes to create the right marketing plans to fit with your business objectives, which will guide your marketing activity. The range of services includes marketing planning, project management, Google Customer journeys, the online route to market, content strategy, and social media strategy.
Hire me and I will be the support you need, seeing you through the pressures you face to get your business to where it needs to be; expanding and growing. Think of me as your ally.
My experience is extensive and not just agency-side, but also client-side, and so my question to you is, what is your marketing need?
REGULAR INVESTMENT
Ongoing support packages are paid in advance and work to a retainer contract. When you sign up to a support package you are allocated the number of hours that you need to use before the end of the month (they do not roll over). Normally, using my services means that you are NEVER short of ideas for marketing activity and if we start with your strategy and planning, you will find that the ideas and momentum build on their own!
