Stress-free marketing that works for you
Being a business owner is tough enough already, and marketing can sometimes feel like just another thing on your to-do list. But it’s a crucial piece of growing your company so I’m here to take the hassle of marketing off your plate so you can focus on what you do best - running your business. So, whether it’s managing day-to-day tasks or tackling larger projects, I bring decades of experience to help your business thrive.
A quick bit about me
Hi, I’m Simon Gilford, based out of Collingbourne Ducis, close to Marlborough, in Wiltshire. I come from a long line of Master Bakers and when times became really tough in the trade my dad told me I needed a new vocation, so I landed a job in copywriting and marketing and have never looked back! Since then I've gained tried and tested experience, working with small local businesses and large global companies alike, helping them grow and succeed. I pride myself on being hands-on, results-focused, and passionate about delivering marketing that makes a real difference.
No need to employ a full-time marketing person - just call on me as and when you need help.
My approach is simple: no jargon, just effective marketing that works for your business.
How I can help your business
I take a hands-on approach to make marketing stress-free and effective. Here are just a few of the benefits that I can bring to you and your business:
- Save you time and energy: You focus on running your business while I handle your marketing.
- Marketing that won’t cost the earth: I like to keep things completely transparent and work at an hourly or daily rate – whatever suits your requirements.
- Bring fresh ideas: With an outside perspective, I’ll take all of the things that already make your business great and help you stand out from the competition.
- Deliver results: Whether you need more customers or better engagement with existing clients, I’ll help you get there.
