About Kara Stanford
Award-winning marketing strategist for ambitious B2B Business Owners
As a B2B 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.”
My audiences are smart people who are already have some clients. 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.
That’s why I provide an impactful B2B marketing course, transformative marketing consultancy, free insights, and a place for small business owners who want to level up their marketing and get real results; so small business owners know how to use marketing to get the success they want.
My mission
I’m passionate about leaving Owners of small B2B businesses 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.
I never crowd or pressure you. I encourage challenge and questions as they drive deeper understanding.
Space
Good marketing begins with having the space to think about it. I provide you with the opportunities to reflect on your strategic marketing so you can gain more clarity.
Structure
I share my powerful Growth Optics Framework so you will always understand how to figure out the right marketing for your business as it evolves and grows.
Respect
We work together, side by side, mutually respecting each other’s knowledge, skills and experience, openly discussing the challenges and how to overcome them.
My clients
Chloe Jay, Senior Partner and Criminal Lawyer, Shentons Solicitors

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 live my values and work hard to ensure my business does too – our planet is precious, as are the people on it, and we need to look after them.
That’s why, in August 2022, I engaged Alex Hughes, Business Consultant, to run a Sustainability Audit on The Marketing Spaces.
