“I recently had a strategy plan completed by this marketing company, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lydia was fantastic throughout the entire process. She is very chilled, understanding, and extremely good at what she does.

She took the time to listen to my goals, explained everything clearly, and created a strategy that was tailored to my business needs. Her knowledge and expertise were evident from the start, but what really stood out was how approachable and supportive she was.

I would highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for professional marketing support and a well-thought-out strategy plan. Thank you for making the whole process so straightforward and most of all enjoyable.”

How We Can Support Your Business

Marketing Consultancy

Expert advice and a fresh perspective when you need it.

Our marketing consultancy services are ideal for businesses that need independent advice, strategic guidance or support with a particular marketing challenge.

From reviewing your existing activity and identifying opportunities to helping you make decisions about budgets, campaigns and marketing channels, we provide practical recommendations tailored to your business.

Whether you need a one-off consultation or regular strategic input, we'll help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Fractional Marketing Director / Fractional CMO

Your own experienced marketing director, for a fraction of the cost.

Our fractional marketing director service provides ongoing strategic marketing leadership without employing a full-time Marketing Director or Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

Working as an extension of your business, we can take responsibility for developing and overseeing your marketing strategy, managing priorities, coordinating activity and ensuring everything works towards your commercial objectives.

It's an ideal solution for growing SMEs that need senior-level marketing expertise but aren't ready to recruit a permanent marketing director.

Outsourced Marketing Management

Strategic direction and hands-on support, all in one place.

Need more than advice? We can also help manage and deliver your marketing activity.

From coordinating campaigns and external suppliers to overseeing social media, SEO, content, email marketing and PR, we provide flexible outsourced marketing support that brings your plans to life.

You get the benefit of strategic oversight alongside practical implementation, without the complexity of managing multiple marketing providers yourself.

“I reached out to Lydia because I needed support and direction with the marketing side of my business. As a business owner, there’s only so much you can do on your own, and I know how important good marketing is to keep new customers coming through the door.

Lydia created a brilliant marketing strategy tailored specifically to our business goals and target market. She made everything very clear, actionable, and easy for me to understand and implement.

I’ve been truly impressed with her attention to detail. She took the time to really get to know my business, and her communication throughout the process has been excellent.

I’m really looking forward to continuing working together, especially creating social media content going forward. Thank you so much for all your help so far Lydia.

I would absolutely recommend Remarkabull to any business owner looking for marketing support.”

Frequently Asked Questions

A fractional marketing director, sometimes called a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), is an experienced marketing professional who provides senior-level marketing leadership to a business on a part-time or outsourced basis.

Rather than employing a full-time marketing director, businesses can access strategic expertise, marketing planning, team leadership and performance oversight for an agreed amount of time each month.

What is a fractional marketing director or fractional CMO?

1


A marketing consultant typically provides expert advice, recommendations and support with specific challenges or projects.

A fractional marketing director takes a more ongoing, hands-on leadership role, helping to develop and oversee your marketing strategy, manage activity, coordinate resources and ensure your marketing supports your business objectives.

At Remarkabull, we offer both marketing consultancy and fractional marketing director services, depending on the level of support your business needs.

What's the difference between a marketing consultant and a fractional marketing director?

2


Fractional marketing director services are particularly valuable for growing small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that need experienced marketing leadership but don't require or have the budget for a full-time marketing director.

We work with businesses across a range of sectors, including professional services, manufacturing, engineering, retail, creative industries and B2B services.

Whether you're scaling your business, entering new markets, managing an internal marketing team or looking to improve your existing marketing activity, fractional marketing support can provide valuable direction and expertise.

How much does a fractional marketing director cost?

The cost of a fractional marketing director depends on the level of involvement, responsibilities and amount of support your business requires.

At Remarkabull, we offer flexible, tailored marketing consultancy and outsourced marketing director packages, allowing you to access senior-level expertise without the salary and overheads associated with a full-time employee.
