Is your marketing working as hard as you are?

Hi, I'm James. I've spent 30 years in sales and marketing, working for some of the UK's biggest companies and having run my own for over a decade. Based in Great Dunmow, I work with small business owners across Essex who want honest, practical marketing advice without the cost or commitment of an agency.

Based in Great Dunmow, I work with small businesses across Essex — including Chelmsford, Colchester, Braintree, Brentwood, Basildon, Saffron Walden and Southend. The challenge is usually the same wherever you are — knowing what your marketing should be doing and where to focus first. That's exactly what the Marketing Reset is designed to help with.

How I can help

Here's how a Marketing Reset works.

Clearer Picture

A fresh pair of eyes on your marketing — what's working, where the opportunities are, and what's worth focusing on next.

Right Focus

There's no shortage of things you could do. I help you identify which ones will make the biggest difference to your business.

Better Visibility

I'll help you understand how visible your business is online and what's worth improving first.

More Customers

I look at how your marketing connects with the way you win business so more enquiries and conversations convert into customers.

Trust

How well your marketing builds confidence with potential customers — reviews, proof points and the signals that turn interest into enquiries.

Practical Steps

Clear next steps that fit your time, budget and where you are right now.

What you come away with

You'll leave with a clear Reset Report and a focused plan you can actually implement - specific to your business, with clear priorities and practical next steps. Here's what every Marketing Reset delivers.

Clarity

Understand exactly which parts of your marketing are working, where the gaps are, and what's worth fixing first.

Focus

Leave knowing precisely where to focus your time and effort - no more spreading yourself thin or guessing what to prioritise.

Action

A written Reset Report with practical next steps you can actually implement- specific to your business, not generic advice.

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.

The format of the whole Marketing Reset report is really useful and provides food for thought and clear guidelines to work on.
