A strategic marketing consultancy that does the thinking, planning and doing.

We are a strategic marketing agency primarily working in professional services, education, pharma and tech.

We work with businesses who want to see a significant change in brand awareness, lead generation, or a change of positioning in their marketplace. Some of our clients fully outsource their marketing support to us, others need an interim/part-time CMO, and others want to work with on a strategic reboot to get their marketing content to work effectively. 

We do all the things you would expect a marketing agency to do: campaign development and execution, social media planning and implementation, website development and evaluation, PR, conference planning - but that’s only part of it. The first thing we do is set a course in a strategic marketing plan where we evaluate our client’s competition and identify ways to help them standout and make their value proposition really clear. Our process starts with the thinking, then the planning and finally the doing.

I just want to say…I knew when you were leading on it that you were doing an amazing job but the work you did to guide me on the values project and the ultimate finished product has proven to be absolutely outstanding!

Our strategic marketing services

SETTING SAIL

Startup businesses, brand new ventures and spin-offs: these clients are sometimes starting from scratch or starting over. We prepare a business plan to help raise investment or simply to get going by clearly targeting the right audiences, articulating our client’s proposition and understanding their competitive positioning.

SET A COURSE

Typically businesses or organisations that have been in place for while who are looking to do more: growth, awareness, talent attraction. We create a plan to reach your target markets with a well-articulated brand proposition and recommend the best tactics and tools to do just that - and then we do it for you

CHANGE DIRECTION

Time to review what you do and have a clear out? Or add to your portfolio of services? We will help you identify where your resources should go to give you the growth or change of direction you are looking for to meet your business objectives. And then we will let your target market know about it.

SAIL AWAY

Looking to sell or hoping for a MBO? Getting your business ready to take to market to make it attractive to your buyer requires many things but a solid client book or lead generation process is absolutely vital. We will help you establish this so the sale doesn’t just rely on the founder of the business but on the track record of the business and its ability to continue without you there.
