Joint Founder and Managing Director

The Marketing Centre – The number one provider of experienced part-time Marketing Directors to ambitious businesses – is dedicated to working alongside small to mid-size companies to help them grow. We engage with business owners as part of their in-house senior team, delivering results and a step-change in profitability.In the Private Equity sector, we work closely with both investors and business owners, often appointed during start-up, tasked with accelerated growth, or strategic expansion.All members of our team have been senior-level Marketing Directors in large and successful businesses, and offer a wealth of experience in many different sectors. We particularly seek out those with a track record in value creation, but also understand the circumstances and budget restrictions of smaller entrepreneurial and family-run enterprises and are happy to roll up their sleeves to make things happen.‘Sounds great – but I can’t afford my own in-house senior marketing director…’ This is the ingenious bit. By working on a part-time basis The Marketing Centre makes a real impact at a fraction of the cost of a full-time resource of this calibre.Don't know if your marketing is effective?

Hi, I’m Clare, I believe that every business deserves access to first class marketing as a right, not a privilege. It is very simple “great businesses have great people”. I provide part-time Marketing Directors to growing and ambitious businesses, providing you with all the skills and experience for your business to achieve outstanding results. I provide strategic support to businesses who do not have, cannot afford or do not feel the need for a full time senior level Marketing Director. I take away the pain from the business owner who is usually trying to juggle too many balls and therefore neglecting marketing planning, budgeting and implementation, let alone monitoring the ROI. Working with you in-house your part-time Marketing Director will help to grow a profitable business and to achieve big goals or even a big exit. Typically I work with businesses who recognise themselves in at least two of the following: - you have ambitious growth plans and want to capitalise on this growth - you have stalled and want a fresh review of the business - the business owner is running out of hours in the day to do everything - you need more leads and better quality leads to achieve your growth plans - you have no on-line strategy - your brand needs a total refresh - you are launching a new product or service - you are building towards an exit and want to maximise your return - your turnover is between £1m - £25m What should you do now? If you are interested to know more, please contact me on 0208 166 2531 or email me at clare@tmcentre.co.uk, and we can talk about your business.
