About The Marketing Spaces

Understand what marketing to do, how and when

Created to support and empower savvy solopreneurs, lonely marketers, and busy CEOs.

As a Marketing Consultant, my aim is to leave my clients knowing and understanding more about marketing than when I arrived, so they can continue making strong marketing decisions long after I’m gone.

I speak at a lot of events, and I used to be puzzled by the feedback I’d often receive:

“You really helped me understand what I need to do when it comes to marketing.”

This confused me at first because my audiences are smart people who are already using marketing successfully. I wasn’t telling them anything radically new.

So I asked them what they meant. They told me I helped them truly understand what marketing is. They left feeling empowered and confident about making the right marketing decisions.

Through The Marketing Spaces, I provide marketing courses, events, free insights, and a supportive community for marketers and small business owners who want to level up their marketing and get real results.

My mission

I’m passionate about leaving people feeling empowered, emboldened, and clear about how to use marketing. That’s why I founded The Marketing Spaces, built on the core values of space, structure, and respect.

You choose which course, event, or marketing insight works best for you. I’ll never crowd or pressure you. There’s no pushy deadlines or forced pace. I trust you to apply what you’re learning in a way that fits you and your business.

Space

Good marketing begins with having the space to think about it. We provide you with the opportunities to reflect on your strategic marketing so you can gain more clarity.

Structure

We share the structure and thinking behind marketing, so you can apply it again and again across different industries and sectors.

Respect

We openly discuss, inspire, and share marketing wisdom, trusting you to apply it to your own situation.

Why choose The Marketing Spaces

You want a supportive space where you can figure out how to apply your marketing knowledge and learning to your situation.

You want a no nonsense, no pressure space to step back, think about and learn more about marketing.

You believe in 'little, often and varied' when it comes to growth and improvement.

You already work in / do marketing and have at least a working understanding of it.

Sustainability pledge

In 2000 I bought my first ‘planet friendly’ bottle of washing up liquid. It began a journey of living a planet friendly life that I’m still on.

I’m very determined that the way we do business has to change – we can no longer operate by merrily taking resources from people and the planet without facing the consequences.

That’s why, in August 2022, I engaged Alex Hughes, Business Consultant, to run a Sustainability Audit on The Marketing Spaces.

The Audit highlighted all the great things I’m doing as a business and left me with a list of more to do! I have prioritised this list and I’m working my way through it, ready for the next progress check with Alex.
