Marketing Services in Hampshire

Whether you’re based in Fleet, Farnborough, Basingstoke, Winchester, or anywhere else in Hampshire, here’s how I can help:

Let’s solve your most pressing marketing strategy issue in a focussed, tailored, 3-hour in person workshop.

After a discussion, I’ll advise you which of your Growth Optics we need to focus on to get the fastest result. This is a bespoke, facilitated workshop focussing on just one area of your marketing strategy. It’s good for a quick boost and to course correct when your marketing is going wrong.

It does not act as a supplement to using the complete Growth Optics approach and it does not result in a Growth Optics marketing strategy or Marketing Plan.

Typical areas that I trouble shoot include:

  • Your market position – what it is, what it should be, and the first steps needed to strengthening it. This draws on the work done in Optic 3: HOW you show up and how they find you.
  • Markets and segments – who you’re currently targeting, who you should be targeting, getting an in-depth understanding of them with a strong ICP (Ideal Client Profile) so you can better brief your outsourced marketing team to find and attract those people. This draws on Optic 2: WHO you need as the right clients in your business.
  • How robust your marketing and sales funnel is and where it needs fixing. This draws on Optics 3 and 4, assessing what is working and needs to change in your Marketing Growth Pathways.

Bespoke workshop prices start from £1,492.50.

This option is for Hampshire based B2B Business Owners who have large marketing issues that need tackling or know they need to transform their business’s approach to marketing.

It all starts with a conversation, where we discuss what your problems are and the impact they are having on your business.

As a highly experienced marketing strategist, using my Growth Optics approach, your answers allow me to quickly determine the best way forward.

This is presented to you as a Phased approach, so you can commission each Phase at a time, building on the previous one to scope it out, work on it, deliver it. Each Phase relates to one or more of the powerful Growth Optics, using this proven approach to develop marketing clarity and then purposefully design the marketing strategy and plan your business needs.

You’re effectively bringing me as your Marketing Director, working on each Phase of work which results in clearly agreed outcomes.

Cumulatively, the impact of this work creates the transformation your marketing needs.

Every business is different, but typical pieces of strategic marketing consultancy work include:

  • Determining your Market Position and the Markets and Segments your business must focus on to get the success you want
  • Refining your entire Brand Strategy, so you show up in the marketplace and get noticed by the right people
  • Building your 12-Month Marketing Plan, based on your Market Position and Brand Strategy
  • Recruiting and inducting the right people to do your marketing – whether your first in-house marketer or an effective outsourced marketing option.

Prices for each Phase can start at £2,985 but may go up to £4,975 depending on the complexity of your business and its current level of marketing sophistication. Typically, expect to spend between £8,955 to £14,925 for having me work alongside you using this comprehensive, transformative approach.

This option is only for B2B businesses who have a clear marketing strategy that an in-house marketer is implementing.

It’s Marketing Director level work, advising, guiding, and holding the business’s marketing to account.  Based around a 2-hour Marketing Strategy Review workshop with the Board, I:

  • receive, review and dig deeper into your previous six months Marketing KPI Reports
  • have 45-minute calls with each of the Board to ascertain their goals, concerns, and wins for the Marketing Strategy
  • have a 45-minute call with your Marketing Manager to discuss the past six months marketing performance
  • prepare a short report that is presented at the Marketing Strategy Review
  • run the Marketing Strategy Review and circulate ‘Next Step Actions’ afterwards.

Price is from £2,985.

This transformative B2B Marketing Course is for you if you’re done trying to figure it all out on your own. You’ve got loads of ideas and a business you want to grow, but marketing still feels messy and not delivering real results. Let me show you how to think about and plan your marketing to bring the success you want.

The Growth Optics Programme is an impactful marketing course like no other.

Only 12 weeks. A powerful combination of self-guided videos, live, online workshops, 1-1s, and unlimited support, advice and guidance. You, step by step, design your clear B2B marketing strategy ready to attract and retain the right, high-quality clients for YOUR business.

You can start the programme anytime. Just book, pay, and off you go.
