Marketing support for start ups
Build solid foundations
Put your best foot forward
Create the right first impression
Marketing – where do you even start?
Starting a business is overwhelming, unless you work in marketing, learning how to market your business is tough and there are lots of people telling you conflicting things. That’s why I created a marketing package for start ups that covers everything you need to get your business going, strategically aligned, comprehensively branded and looking the bee knees. Let’s get into it!
Start with a marketing strategy
The first thing you need to master before you start promoting your startup is a marketing strategy. I have a tried and tested workshop that brings together best practice theory, tactics and your ideas, and allows us to find the best way forward for your business. Delivered in a 4 hour session, we cover a marketing audit, competitor analysis, ideal customer profiling, messaging creation, establishing your brand and choosing your colours and fonts.
Following the workshop, you will receive a comprehensive report with all your key messages written for you ready to use, a schedule of activity for you to follow and implement, a social media and blog content plan and some suggestions for your brand identity.
What clients say
I decided to treat myself to a branding workshop and WOW was I glad I did! She is a genius at pulling out all your key messages and helping you find clarity in the fog.

Get your website sorted
Once we have figured out your strategy and your messaging you’ll need a platform to launch it from. A website! Start up websites can be as simple as a single page to a full scale, multi-page website. There is a lot to think about but we will hold your hand every step of the way!
All set for social
This package does what it says on the tin. Gets you all set for social. Includes banners for all your profiles, bio’s written, graphics and captions for 24 social media posts – which is enough to keep you going for the first two months – and all templates for you to keep and reuse time and time again. Your posts can also be scheduled to a platform of your choice.
