Successful small and medium size businesses, whether considering crowdfunding or not, require a well thought through marketing strategy. SME marketing requires an affordable and co-ordinated plan using various online and offline ways to communicate with customers, suppliers, backers, and any other type of stakeholders.

If you have a website, a company name posted outside your business or on the sides of vehicles, if you think about the cups and plates and what refreshments to serve to visitors, then you are already thinking about what people will think about you. That’s Marketing, let’s do some more!

I can help your business with an initial review of your Marketing activities, create original and optimised content for websites and any other uses, manage your social media accounts, handle PR assignments, and provide branded merchandise. Or I can provide a Marketing Strategy and Plan for you to handle it yourself.
