Is your marketing working as hard as you are?

You're busy running the business. Marketing is the bit that nags, and everyone's got an opinion on what you should be doing. More social. More ads. A new website. The hard part was never finding ideas. It's knowing which few are right for your business, and which to ignore. That's what a Marketing Reset is for.
Hi, I'm James. I've spent 30 years in sales and marketing, working for some of the UK's biggest companies and running my own for over a decade. I know how much is riding on every decision when you're running a business, which is exactly why I started The Marketing Reset.

How I can help

Here's how a Marketing Reset works.

Right Focus

There's no shortage of things you could do. I help you work out which few will make the biggest difference to your business, and which to leave alone.

More Customers

I look at how your marketing connects with the way you actually win business, so more enquiries, follow ups and conversations turn into customers.

Trust

How well your marketing builds confidence with potential customers. The reviews, proof points and small signals that turn interest into a yes.

Practical Steps

Clear next steps that fit your time, your budget and where your business is right now. A plan you'll use, not a list you'll dread.

What you come away with

Every Marketing Reset ends with a written report and a clear plan.

Clarity

A written Reset Report covering every area of your marketing with honest findings and clear priorities.

Focus

A clear view of where to direct your time and energy — so you know exactly what will make the biggest difference.

Action

Everything prioritised and ready to act on — with a practical 30–60 day plan specific to your business.

Experience that works for you

I've spent over 30 years in sales and marketing across travel, music, construction, retail and e-commerce. I ran my own small business for more than a decade. I've worked for start-ups, small businesses and inside large organisations, including at head office for the UK's biggest retailer.
I understand what it feels like when every decision matters - and how to make marketing practical, focused and commercially sensible.

How I work

Marketing isn't always about doing more. It's about doing the right things for your business - knowing what to prioritise, what to stop, and what will genuinely move things forward right now.
A few clear, focused changes nearly always beat a long list of ideas nobody has time to action.

Outside of work

Home is Great Dunmow, Essex, where I live with my family. Away from work, it's drums, travel, and a steadily growing vinyl collection.
Integrity matters to me. I treat every business I work with as if it were my own - with care, realism and honesty. I don't oversell, hide behind jargon, or recommend anything I wouldn't do for my own business.

Good marketing doesn’t convince people.


It shows up at the right moment with the right answer.

I've just used The Marketing Reset to review my website and I can't recommend it enough. The report was incredibly detailed and used traffic light colours, so it was clear at a glance what was working and what needed attention.
Nothing is written negatively. It's constructive, clear and genuinely actionable. If you're managing your own website, do yourself a favour and get a report done. He really knows his stuff.

James is a breath of fresh air. With so much noise out there it’s often difficult to know where to start when it comes to marketing and your visibility. He keeps the conversation and content down to the barest of needs and magically finds the gaps and holes that need a quick repair w
