Strategy

Strategy is a word I have a love/hate relationship with. Because a lot of people confuse strategy and tactics. And a lot of businesses see marketing’s need to be ‘busy’ as much more important than being strategic.

As your strategic marketing partner, I’ll guide you through the process to ensure stakeholders are engaged, your value proposition is articulated, and your tactics and budget are realistic to deliver the results your need to drive growth.

FAQs.

How does it work?

I typically work in 2 ways, or in a combination of both.

Firstly, there’s project work. That’s where you pay an agreed amount for me to deliver a set project, strategy, or planning. That’s completely dependant on your requirements.

The other way is with a monthly retainer, where I agree to a set number of days per month. With that we’ll agree the work to be delivered, but there’s also flexibility for us to change the focus monthly to best support your needs. All in all, whatever you need, we’ll find a way to give you maximum value, in the most transparent way possible.

What does it cost?

There’s no one size fits all. But what I’ll do after the discovery process is provide you with a range of options both in terms of service delivery, and cost. This can include a one-off project cost, and/or a monthly ongoing cost – completely dependant on your needs.

Will we work with you, or someone else?

I’ll be your point of contact throughout. Whilst I have a number of specialists I work with to deliver specific requirements, all of your communication will be with me, and I will be the one working with you to create and deliver against your marketing needs.

We already have a marketer, so why would we need you?

Sometimes, we don’t know what we don’t know. If you have a relatively junior marketer, either junior in their career or within the recruitment industry, they probably won't have the range of skills and understanding that I’ve built from 18 years in recruitment marketing.

I can work with them in either a mentoring capacity, or to support them in the deliver and execution of the marketing plan. Giving you peace of mind that your marketing investment will deliver a return.

Why do I benefit from working with someone with 18 years experience?

I started my career at Hays in 2006 and since then I’ve built marketing departments and teams in SME recruitment business. That’s 18 years focused on bridging the gap between sales and marketing.

I’ve delivered millions in GP. And I’ve also made a lot of mistakes. You'll benefit from both.  An experienced, proven marketer you can trust.

We don’t have any marketing, why do I need it?

No doubt, you’re already doing a lot of marketing. It’s probably just not coordinated or consistent.

Your company and consultant LinkedIn activity, your email outreach and BD activity. It’s all part of the world of marketing. Working with me will give you an opportunity create tangible marketing activity that engages sales teams and provides measurable results.

Are you a full service agency?

No. I'll be the first to admit I'm not a full-service marketing agency.

I'm a fractional CMO that provides you with strategic support, strategy, and execution.

I work with a maximum of 5 clients at a time so you will always get a touch solution. We've all been wowed by someone at the sales stage and never seen them again. You won't get that with me. I'll always be your point of contact and responsible for the quality of the work, an the results.

What type of businesses do you work with?

Since becoming Fractional CMO I've worked with a large businesses on updating strategies, early stage startups, and I've worked with new ventures to help them launch.

In short, if you have an idea, startup, or SME recruitment business, I can help. And if you're not sure, just request a marketng review and see for yourself.
