Contract Marketing - Freelance Marketing Support

 

With many years of marketing experience, both client-side and in agencies, I am able to offer professional freelance marketing support services, at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee. These are primarily aimed at smaller businesses, where in effect I act as a freelance marketing manager, providing marketing advice and planning, database development, project management and so on. This means advising on what you need to do and then helping you to make it happen, as opposed to a 'marketing consultant' who advises on what to do, charges you for that advice and then walks away!

"Gill has been acting as our Marketing Director since January and has already added a huge amount of benefit for the business. Her marketing knowledge and experience, and her ability to not only give good advice but also to 'get the job done' has made a very tangible difference for EPP. The contract arrangement is perfect for our business model, as we would not want to go down the route of employing a full time staff member, but we do need a high level of experience and Gill fits the bill perfectly.

We see her as a valued member of the team and she is already working closely with one of the companies in which we have invested. We will be expanding this side of the relationship over the coming months - using Gill's marketing skills to benefit other businesses with which we become involved, as part of the management support we offer. I'd definitely recommend her services to any business that needs a flexible specialist marketing resource."

Benefits of working with a freelancer

  • I provide experienced marketing support capability for your business, but only when you need it.
  • Working with a freelancer gives you complete flexibility, yet you have access to the same skills and experience that you would gain from a full time employee.
  • Working closely with you, I am able to fully understand your business and can help you by providing marketing support in whatever way is right for you.
  • I have built up a network of contacts over the years and can help you to identify the right external suppliers for things like design, print, photography, web development and so on - but these suppliers will always bill you directly. I never add a mark-up.
  • I work proactively in the same way that a marketing manager would, rather than waiting to be told what to do, which is what tends to happen with agencies.
  • As you will see from the rest of this website, I am also an experienced copywriter. So if you need to update your website content, create some copy for a corporate brochure, write a press release or a sales letter, I can do this as well as part of my service without having to outsource.

 

"Gill has been providing Spitfire Technology Group with marketing support for ten years. During this time she has managed a wide range of successful projects for us, including advertising, direct mail campaigns and so on. These in turn have involved copywriting, image sourcing, data sourcing and selection, arrangement and art direction of photography - and overall project management of some very complex campaigns.

Without Gill's knowledge these projects would have been far less effective - as her ability to plan in detail and pinpoint the correct approach makes all the difference. She works with us as our marketing team and her responsive, proactive and helpful project management is always a vital factor in the success of our campaigns. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
