How does the marketing consultancy process work?

DISCOVER

The first stage of any marketing consultancy project is to understand about your business, your competitors, what you are currently doing, and what you want to achieve in the short, medium and long-term.

PLAN

At this stage the vision really comes to life. Once I understand your business and how it operates, we’ll develop a strategy and plan to set you on the path to achieving your future goals.

IMPLEMENT

Whether you have a marketing team in-house or you need our support to deliver the plans, I love nothing more than seeing the vision come to life; and we’ll be there every step of the way.

REFINE

Test and learn, test and learn! It’s the most important part of marketing. I review what’s working, what could perform better, and will always strive to squeeze every last drop from your marketing investment.

What benefits will you get from marketing consultancy?

Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes is exactly what the business needs. I’ll get under the skin of your business to understand what is currently happening, and provide an honest overview of where I think you should focus your energy and resources to have maximum impact.

What’s it like to work with me?

We needed someone with specialist HubSpot knowledge to help us maximise the value we get from the platform. We had a number of complex technical problems which were creating inefficiency for our teams, and had legacy parts of our architecture which we wanted someone to audit against best practices in the market..

You have a brilliant understanding of the technical capabilities of HubSpot, which has allowed us to make better use of the platform across teams. You’ve been very collaborative and engaged well with stakeholders across the business, showing initiative to source problems, rather than just waiting for direction. You’ve been able to both provide high level technical guidance on core business problems and get your hands dirty implementing new functionality, which has been exactly what we needed.

James Croft, Revops Lead, Better.co.uk

Ash has been a lifesaver for our team as we were fumbling along on our own trying to make HubSpot work to its full capacity, however after running into several roadblocks we realised we needed professional help. Our HubSpot rep, after listening to our requirements, recommended Ash. We like working with Ash because there’s no agency to deal with. The service is personal and uncomplicated – we like the one-on-one approach. We’re about to start work with him on the next set of projects to help us to continue to improve our set up and use of HubSpot.

Tamara Warren, Marketing Consultant, Global Boutique
Ash has supported us on several client projects, from branding through to LinkedIn ads – and we’re delighted with both his approach and engagement throughout. He’s got a big agency mindset but doesn’t mind getting into the details himself, which makes a powerful combination. Delighted to recommend his skills.
Martin Shervington, Managing Director, Plus Your Business

Ash is an absolute pleasure to work with. His marketing knowledge and insights are second to none, and I learnt a huge amount from him. He is a natural team player who develops clear strategies and motivates those around him. He led the marketing team for a group of companies, and can skip from brand to brand without missing a beat. A great strategic thinker with a solid analytical approach and a wealth of practical experience.

I would happily work with Ash any time and on any project. If you need marketing help or consultancy then look no further. If Carlsberg did marketers…

Ben Jamieson, eCommerce Manager, Stow Agricultural & Wildcare

I had the pleasure of working with Ash for 2 years in which time we worked on three exciting and inspiring brands to bring them to life. I found him to be a top level marketeer and communicator full of ideas and enthusiasm for any brief that came in.

We worked very effectively on a vast array of projects from events to websites and re-branding projects.

I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Ash again or recommend him for your next project.

Hamish Rowe, Head of Creative, Rhino Interiors Group/Stow Agricultural/Wildcare

I started working with Ash in early 2015. From a client perspective, the way I’d describe the relationship is “easy”. Ash is exactly the sort of person you want as your Account Director. Nothing has been too much trouble for him, he’s been accommodating and flexible, he’s challenged back appropriately when needed, has done a magnificent job of orchestrating the many spinning plates there have been, and has ultimately delivered some absolutely brilliant campaigns on time and on budget that have achieved fantastic results.

I’ve worked with a lot of Account Directors and Client Services Directors in my time, and Ash is certainly a hard act to follow. He’s a great credit to The Marketing Practice and a great partner to work with.

Louis Fernandes, Head of Go To Market, SAS

Ash is a delight to work with. We worked together for over two years’ during which time Ash proved to be a supportive leader and brought humour to our every day. He liked to push the boundaries in design and took on challenges fiercely without hesitation. Ash always looked to the solutions as quickly as an issue arose and nothing was ever too much trouble. I wish Ash well and know he will always have success in his ventures. Any client will quickly see how lucky they are to have Ash on their team.

Angela Whyborn, Project Manager, Rhino Interiors Group

Ash is an exceptional Marketing Manager and we can only thank him for a job well done… After 3 Centuries of continuous business, Ash and his team had the mammoth task of bringing firminhouse.com into the 21st century with a fantastic Website as well as our eCommerce site ecsnaith.com…thank you Ash… I would have no hesitation of recommending Ash.
