Marketing Director service
for Small to Medium Enterprises SMEs

We’ve worked with 100s of SME owners who often have the following problems:
- Juggling business management with being called to the ‘shop floor’
- Communicating between separate offices or travelling staff
- No dedicated marketing person to implement your ideas
- No time to plan, just firefighting and servicing clients
- Spending on marketing ad hoc, but not tracking results
- No proper database of clients to market to
- May not have defined your brand, USPs and ethos fully
- Not looking to employ someone full-time, but still need support.
So we created our Marketing Director service gives you access to expert marketing advice and delivery, without the need to go through an expensive recruitment process, add a desk or pay a pension!
How it works
STEP 1
Amanda will meet with you and your key staff members to talk through your business purpose, existing marketing, your ideas and issues. We’ll run through how our service works and you can see if it’s a good fit for your needs. We are happy to create bespoke programmes as required.
STEP 2
If you decide to go ahead, we’ll deliver a Marketing Strategy Workshop with your Business Owners and key staff. Amanda will facilitate the session, asking specific questions to draw out the key issues, define goals and encourage creative thinking. Following this, we’ll create a Marketing Strategy and Report which supports your business goals, including the insights from the Workshop. There will also be a Plan document, which breaks down how we’ll deliver your Strategy across a timeline through targeted marketing actions.
STEP 3
You’ll receive the spreadsheet of your lovely new Strategy and 12 month Plan! Amanda will meet with you and your senior team to discuss and tweak it as appropriate. If you’d like our Flexperts to manage your social media, create leaflets, update your website etc, we’ll discuss and cost that for you too.
Following this, Amanda will meet with you for a Monthly Marketing Meeting (or fortnightly calls) to discuss delivery, priorities and whatever other business support or advice you might need. She’ll be your confidante and supporter, finding solutions to your issues, creating ideas and processes, motivating your staff, liasing with the Flexperts and moving everything on according to the Plan.
