You know you’ve got a good business. You’ve built something real. But your marketing isn’t yet working the way it should.
What you actually want is simple: a consistent, reliable flow of the right clients, month after month. That’s exactly the problem I solve.
Hi, I’m Kimberley, a marketing consultant in Nottingham, helping founders of service-based businesses grow their business profitably – so it finally rewards them the way it should.
A relaxed chat on Zoom about where your business is now and where you’d like it to go.
Finding your way through the marketing jungle…
Businesses thrive when they attract and keep the right customers.
It sounds simple. But it isn’t, is it?
It’s hard to know where to focus and easy to get pulled in different directions. In today’s noisy, ever-changing world, marketing can feel confusing and overwhelming.
It’s a jungle out there.
But with clarity, structure and a trusted guide by your side, that jungle becomes a hothouse for growth.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you build a proper marketing system – one that attracts the right clients consistently and predictably, so you can grow your business profitably.
Is your business giving you everything you hoped it would?
When you started out, you had a plan.
A reason for going it alone, whether that was money, independence, flexibility or simply building a better life for you and your loved ones.
But somewhere along the way, many business owners find themselves working harder and longer than they ever expected, and still just getting by. The VAT bill lands and the stomach drops. Payroll comes round and it’s tighter than it should be. The business is busy, but it doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere.
It’s rarely because the founder isn’t capable, committed or hardworking. Most of the time, the missing piece is marketing that actually works – bringing in the right clients consistently and reliably, so the business grows and the owner can finally get what they went into business for.
Many of my clients are founder-led businesses competing against much bigger players. They don’t have bigger budgets or bigger teams. What they have is sharper positioning, a clearer message and a consistent flow of the right clients – and that’s how a focused, ambitious business competes with a bigger one every time. Size isn’t the advantage you think it is. Marketing is.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
The results speak for themselves
From £1.3 million to £2.8 million in four years
Over four years working with Acanthus Cast Stone, I helped grow their turnover from £1.3 to £2.8 million. That’s not just a marketing story. That’s a business growth transformation, built on a consistent, reliable flow of the right customers and a marketing system that keeps delivering, month after month.
Kimberley understands we need a steady and reliable stream of good enquiries. She’s worked diligently on this, and thanks to her we’ve had a fantastic year.
You’re running a good business. But with everything on your plate, marketing never quite gets the attention it deserves – and you’re not sure how to change that, without it slipping down the list every time something else comes up.
If you’re ready to put a proper marketing system in place, you need someone who’s been there themselves – and knows what works.
Meet the marketer behind the system
I’ve been in your shoes – and I know what actually works
I’ve helped build and sell a service-based business – our own financial planning practice here in Nottingham. So when I sit down with a founder and say I know what it feels like when the pipeline is uncertain, I mean it literally. That’s not a positioning line. That’s my life.
With over 20 years’ marketing experience, an MBA from ESCP – one of Europe’s leading business schools – and Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, I bring the expertise and the commercial acumen to think about your marketing the way a business owner does: in terms of revenue, profit and return on investment.
I work by partnering closely with founders and directors of service-based businesses – so you get a trusted expert in your corner who is as invested in your growth as you are – not just another consultant.
Most businesses do marketing. Few have a proper system. There’s a big difference between the two – and it shows up in your results every single month. Here’s what changes when you build one.
Good marketing doesn’t start with tactics. It starts with knowing exactly who your ideal customer is. Get this right and your marketing compounds. Here’s why.
You’ve probably tried a few things. A new website. Some Google ads. A bit of social media. Maybe an agency who promised the world. And yet the phone still isn’t ringing consistently enough. Here’s why.
