Check my websiteProfessional standards. Practical delivery.
Based in Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and the wider North West, helping small businesses get professional marketing without unnecessary overhead.
- MCIM membership means a commitment to professional standards and honest advice, not promises of guaranteed results.
- An MSc in Digital Marketing Management: recommendations grounded in evidence, with clear measurement rather than guesswork.
- 13+ years of hands-on marketing experience. You work directly with me on the brief, delivery and follow-through.
- I build websites, write content and run campaigns myself — you are not passed from a salesperson to a junior account manager.
The problems I'm usually brought in to solve
You are busy running the business. Marketing should make that easier, not give you another job.
“Our marketing isn't generating leads.”
“We don't know what's working.”
“Our website no longer reflects our business.”
“We need help but don't have a marketing team.”
Practical help, without a big-agency commitment
Start with the thing you need most. Each service can stand alone, with a clear brief and a price agreed before work begins.
Strategy & bigger-picture marketing
Plan the next 6–12 months before you spend: who to target, what to say, where the budget goes and how you'll know it worked.
SEO & local search: Help the right customers find you. Fix the foundations, improve your pages and build visibility for the services and areas you cover.
Website rebuilds: A complete rebuild of up to 40 pages: design, core copy, search foundations, enquiry forms and launch, for one fixed price.
Google Ads: Focused campaigns with clear budgets and tracking, so you can see which clicks become genuine enquiries.
Freelance marketing support: An extra pair of experienced hands for marketing projects, content and practical advice — without hiring a full-time team.
AI & content workflows: Practical tools that save a small team time, with content checked by a person before it reaches your customers.
Three engagements, start to finish
The situation, the decision that mattered and what shipped. Full write-ups, the strategy behind each one and sector-by-sector detail live in the case studies.
Cheshire Lettings
An independent Cheshire letting agency competing with corporate agents on high-street presence and spend, with growth depending entirely on word of mouth from existing landlords.
A clear owner-led proposition, separate landlord and tenant journeys, and local visibility for the Cheshire towns the agency actually covers rather than generic lettings terms.
cheshirelettings.ukFootyGrounds
A consumer football platform with an enormous data set and no acquisition model. Every ground guide, pub and fixture was a page nobody would ever search for by name, and the brand had no audience of its own.
Two results from one launch: a site with thousands of indexable, genuinely useful pages tied to real search demand, and a TikTok channel at @footygrounds.com that went viral — 100k views in its first 7 days and 5M post views in 60 days (16 Aug – 15 Oct), with 42k likes, 3.1k shares, 2.9k comments and 13.7k profile views. The brand now owns an audience rather than renting attention from search alone.
footygrounds.comWishly
An AI website builder launching into a category where every competitor makes the same promise — describe a site, watch it appear. 'Build a website with AI' is now table stakes, so the product needed a reason to exist that a template generator could not claim, and small businesses needed to understand what they were getting before signing up to anything.
A launch proposition that gives away the moment of value — a live website in minutes, free to start — and sells the thing no builder ships by default: a website that talks to visitors and captures leads from the conversation.

Quotes attributed by role, as agreed with each client. Each links to the full case study so you can see the work behind it.
“We had the data and the technology. What we did not have was a way of explaining it that made someone reach for their card. Sam turned it into an offer, decided the pricing with us and built the route people take to get there.”

Engagement: Launch positioning, pricing and acquisition
“Nobody wakes up looking for Part 1 compensation, so the whole thing hinged on explaining it in plain English and proving there was no risk. The eligibility check does the qualifying for us — the enquiries that reach me are worth having.”
Director

Engagement: Go-to-market and enquiry funnel
“I have been doing this since 1989 and my website did not say so. Sam narrowed what we claim, put the numbers where people see them, and wrote the guides in the language tenants use rather than the language surveyors use.”
