Hello.
welcome to created Marketing
67% of UK SMEs do not have a marketing strategy*.
That's two thirds of small and medium sized businesses who are unclear of how their marketing contributes to achieving their growth objectives.
Further still, only 33% have a marketing plan which produces regular, timely marketing activities. That's time, effort and money being wasted on activity that may not deliver against their business goals.
I'm Ed Harvey, founder of created Marketing, the freelance consultancy service based in the Cotswolds that takes businesses and charities on a journey to marketing success. From marketing strategy and brand positioning, to marketing planning and a roadmap for implementation. If your marketing isn't delivering the results you're looking for, we can help bring clarity, focus and purpose.

MARKETING AUDIT
A fresh look at your current marketing.
We begin with an initial review of your marketing activities and how they support your business objectives. An audit includes a competitor and industry landscape review. Your report will give a clear understanding of the current strengths and weaknesses which identify the gaps and opportunities for future improvements.
STRATEGY & PLANNING
A comprehensive and aligned plan.
We work with you to set clear objectives, refine your target audience and define your messaging. A plan which outlines the marketing tactics and channels is developed and we'll provide guidance on measurement and evaluation. You'll now be empowered with a strategic roadmap from which to organise, execute and track your marketing strategy.
IMPLEMENTATION
A helping hand.
If you lack the time or resources to implement our marketing plan yourself, we can also provide a retained marketing support service which can include social media content management; development of marketing collateral as well as writing, designing and scheduling email marketing. Website, SEO and PPC ad support available on request too! Professionally managed support that gives you time back to manage the rest of your business.

aboutME
I've been a marketer for 20+ years, initially learning my trade in creative agencies, followed by several in-house roles across automotive, DIY/home improvement and manufacturing for the landscape sector before embarking as a freelancer in 2022.
I also founded a beekeeping business a decade ago, retailing honey and wax products throughout Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.
I'm proud of my northern roots and live my life and my work with integrity - seeking clients that share my principles of respect, trust and collaboration.
If you're looking for an expert that will listen, support and guide you to marketing success (without a cost that stings!), book in a FREE discovery call today.
