What’s marketing ever done for us?
Marketing is dead. Long live marketing.
Advertising and marketing have contributed significantly to many of the crises we face today - but I believe they can also be the solution.
The levers available to advertisers are powerful, and have been drivers of huge influence amongst audiences worldwide for generations. So why aren’t purpose-driven businesses and organisations using the same tools, or finding even better ways to persuade and motivate people?
Most simply don’t know where to start - but you’re here, and you’ve found the ‘go’ button. Having worked in marketing and communications for over 10 years with leading brands around the world, my support enables senior leadership to utilise tried-and-tested systems-level approaches to brand-building, stakeholder engagement, partnerships, campaigns and strategic communications to increase value, unite their teams, motivate audiences and accelerate positive impact.
Through deep collaboration our work will strengthen the effectiveness of your organisation, make people care about what you do, and empower them to act in the way you want them to.
Services Include:
-
Brand Strategy.
A brand is so much more than a logo.
Through deep collaboration, workshops and interviews, I create robust brand propositions, personalities, architecture, and user-friendly guides for their implementation. This keeps your brand consitent, easy to manage, and attractive to your target audiences, as well as strengthening your internal culture.
-
Strategic Consulting.
As Sun Tzu once wrote; ‘tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat’.
In other words; the best tactics in the world are useless without a plan. My strategic approach takes a systems-level view of your business or organisation, sector, market, challenges, opportunities, audience and influences to join the dots you can’t see and create resource-appropriate routes to measurable success.
-
Strategic Communications.
Communication is so much more than writing or speaking. Every interaction is an opportunity to bring your goals closer by building better relationships with people.
Together we can establish or refine what to say, where, how, to who and - most importantly - when. Proactive and reactive planning aligns your words with your purpose, ensuring every customer or supporter interaction drives your progress.
-
ESG Integration & Leverage.
ESG targets aren’t a tick-box exercise to be completed once a year. They are an opportunity to prove your commitments to better business and build stronger bonds with audiences who are increasingly demanding more action from those they buy from. I work alongside you to make purpose profitable.
-
Strategic Partnerships.
If a problem shared is a problem halved, an opportunity shared must be an opportunity doubled.
I work with my clients to find mutually-beneficial partnership opportunities which contribute to the achievement of both parties’ ambitions, and often deliver far more than the sum of their parts by connecting new but likeminded audiences.
-
Innovation & Development.
My work relies on a deep understanding of people, markets, regulations and trends. By collaborating with your team, this insight can be used internally to develop new solutions, offers and services which can give your audiences exactly what they want.
-
Amplification & Campaigns.
You’re doing great. Why shouldn’t everyone know about it? I can help you get your message out through ‘traditional’ marketing routes including digital, print, press, radio advertising, out of home placements and more, as well as seeking out opportunities for media features and thought leadership.
-
Executive Production.
As an accomplished creative with an extensive personal toolkit and bigger black book of talent and facilitators, you can trust me to oversee production of all the content you need. Documentaries, photoshoots, podcasts, radio adverts, out of home campaigns, reports, direct marketing collateral, live events - the list goes on. Just ask.
-
Communications Training.
My strategic work is pointless if it can’t be properly implemented. I work with my clients’ teams to ensure a thorough understanding of effective communications - and a comprehensive understanding of the strategy - is present throughout their organisation to promote independence and ensure the best chances of success.
