A Staffordshire marketer who has worked with major brands including JCB and Pickerings has launched her own consultancy to help small and growing businesses access professional marketing support.
Emily Tomkinson, from Uttoxeter, has launched Marketing with Emily, providing clear, practical and flexible marketing support to businesses that may not have the resources or expertise for an in-house marketing team.
Emily brings 12 years’ marketing experience to the new venture and will work directly with businesses across Staffordshire and the surrounding areas.
Marketing with Emily offers support including strategy and planning, campaign management, content and creative, digital marketing, analytics and reporting, events and exhibitions, as well as ongoing retained marketing support.
Emily, who is married and has a three-year-old boy, said: “I love marketing and I’ve seen first-hand what a difference getting it right can make to a business.
“After 12 years working in marketing, I reached the point where I wanted to take everything I’ve learned and use it to help other businesses grow.
“There are so many great small and growing businesses that know they need to market themselves better, but they might not need or be able to afford employing a full-time marketing manager. That’s the gap I want to help fill.”
Emily already holds a Level 6 Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma and is currently working towards Chartered Marketer status.
The 33-year-old founder added: “I want to make great, effective marketing accessible. That means no jargon and no unnecessarily complicated strategies – just clear advice, practical ideas and marketing activity that has a purpose and goal.
“Every business is different, so I can provide as much or as little support as they need. Most importantly, I will build trusting relationships with clients because they’ll be working directly with me. I want to become an extension of their team, understand their business properly and use effective marketing to help them grow.”
Marketing with Emily has already secured a number of clients, including businesses within the hospitality sector.
