Campaign Management

Successfully delivering your marketing and communications plans can take a lot of time and effort.

With experience in all areas of promotion I can project manage and co-ordinate your tactical marketing. Getting the right marketing mix is essential. It’s not about using every communications channel available but assessing the best marketing tools for the job. The solution I deliver may be purely digital – or it might be a mix of print, advertising and PR. It might just involve a one-off event. I can build and deliver a campaign that is right for your market, your budget and your priorities. Ultimately it’s about being creative, original and impactful.

I am happy to work with existing designers or marketing suppliers you have or I have a wealth of contacts in the business that I work with on print design or web solutions.
