Marketing

Marketing that sounds like you.

Most small businesses do not need a big campaign. They need the right people to find them and a clear reason to get in touch. I help with that, in plain English and at a size that suits you.

Who this is for

Small business owners in Portsmouth and Southsea who know they should be doing more marketing but have no time, no plan, or no idea what is worth paying for. I have spent years doing marketing for local hospitality and for government funded organisations.

How I work with you

  1. We talk first

    A free chat about your business, your customers and what you have already tried. I listen before I suggest anything.

  2. I make a simple plan

    A short, clear plan with the few things most likely to work for you. No fifty page document and no jargon.

  3. I do the work and show you what happened

    I carry out the plan, and you get plain updates on what is working and what is not.

What you get

  • A clear plan you can understand without a marketing degree
  • Help being found locally, including your Google Business Profile
  • Writing and content that sounds like you, not like an advert
  • Your website, social media and marketing pulling in the same direction
  • Honest updates, with no vanity numbers

Proof

Hospitality and public funded organisations

I have run marketing and social media for local hospitality and for government funded organisations. Those jobs taught me how to do a lot with a little, and how to explain it to people who are busy.

Honest answers

How much does marketing cost?

Every project is different, so every price is too. It depends on how much you want done and how often. I work on my own, so there are no account managers or agency overheads in what you pay. I would rather fit your budget honestly than sell you more than you need.

I only have a small budget. Is it worth it?

Yes, if it is spent on the right things. A small budget aimed well beats a big one spread thin, and I will help you choose the few things that matter most.

Can you help me get found in Portsmouth?

Yes. Being found locally is often the quickest win for a small business. It starts with a well built website and a properly set up Google Business Profile.

Will I get a number one ranking on Google?

Nobody can honestly promise that. What I can do is set you up properly, work on the things that help, and tell you plainly how it is going.

Let's talk about it.

A free chat where I listen first. No pressure, and nothing to sign.
