Part-time Marketing Director

I've continued to keep my Marketing skills and knowledge up to speed by working as a part-time Marketing Director for local SME businesses. I am one of 10 Directors in the Thames Valley who work through The Marketing Centre.

By working on a part-time basis I can make a real impact at a fraction of the cost of a full-time resource of this calibre.

So what can senior-level marketing do for local businesses that want to grow?

Just some of the areas that I can get involved in include:

  • Marketing Strategy: Development & Execution
  • Marketing Due Diligence
  • Marketing 360 Healthcheck & Prioritisation for your business
  • Integrated Marketing
  • Sales Process & Pipeline Development
  • Brand building & positioning
  • Implementation of Marketing Technology
  • Events & Product Marketing
  • Digital & Social Marketing
  • Customer Demand Creation
  • Market Entry & Internationalisation
  • Building & Mentoring Marketing Teams
  • Distribution & Channel marketing
  • Sales & Marketing Optimisation
  • CRM
  • Marketing Automation
  • Brand Engagement
  • Media Relations
  • Public Relations

What Can you Expect?

  • A step change in your business – you can expect to see results quickly
  • An experienced strategic marketing professional with proven business success
  • To have your own in-house Marketing Director – yes, but also access to the full team and all of their 
combined experience and knowledge
  • A low risk solution – there is no red tape or lengthy tie-in, you control the time commitment
  • Clear ROI – you’ll see value demonstrated quickly, with measurements put in place from day one
  • The most amazing shared Little Black Book of tried and trusted designers, SEO and other suppliers – and the power to negotiate hard to get the best deals for you
  • A Marketing Director who gets stuff done and isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck-in
  • A key part of your senior in-house team – with you for the long-haul to do what it 
takes to achieve your goals
  • An experienced mentor who can develop your existing team and pass on their marketing knowledge
  • There’s no recruitment fee, NI, sick pay, or holiday to take into account when you work with The Marketing Centre
  • All this at a fraction of the cost of a full time Marketing Director of this calibre

"Mark helped us redesign and launch our web site and we are now drawing on his marketing expertise in the area of digital marketing to develop new products and services. We are particularly pleased with our web site www.amsauto.com. One of our most valued clients recently said of it, “What I like about your site is that it’s written in just the same way you talk”.  Clearly this means we’ve pitched our copy to convey our core values but it also suggests we’ve captured our character and brought an important “human” element to our on-line presence. Finally, it never ceases to amaze us how many people Mark networks with. He has the unique ability to put us in front of people whose products and services might suit our clients and vice versa."
