Most marketing fails before it even starts.
Not because of bad ideas. Because the foundations aren't solid enough to build on.
The Marketing Health Check shows you exactly what’s holding your marketing back (your proposition, your positioning, your message, your branding) and what to fix first.
Takes under 5 minutes. Straight answers. No waffle.
Built on 35 years of brand, marketing and design.
01.
Your proposition
Is your positioning actually clear? Can someone understand what you do and why they should choose you in under 10 seconds?
02.
Market, message & media
Are the right people hearing the right message in the right place, or are you just busy being busy?
03.
Brand & visual marketing
Does your brand look consistent, professional and like it actually belongs to your business?
SERVICES
Three ways I can help.
Branding gets you looking and sounding like the business you actually are. Marketing keeps it working. Training builds the skills in-house.
01.
Branding
Look and sound like the business you actually are. Logo, identity, brand strategy and guidelines that make everything consistent and unmistakably you.
02.
Marketing
Keep it working, week in, week out. Strategy, clear priorities, campaigns and content, with an experienced partner in your corner instead of guesswork.
03.
Training
Build the skills in-house. Practical, jargon-free training in brand, marketing and Canva so your team can do it well themselves and stay consistent.
