Working with us
​
​We’ve found that most businesses get the best results by first completing our core training course. This course provides a solid foundation in marketing fundamentals. After completing a course, you can decide whether to manage your marketing in-house or continue working with us on a consultancy basis. For most businesses, this means booking our half day strategy sessions. These can be booked as a one-off to help define your strategy, or a regular commitment - usually on a monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly basis.
​
Half day strategy sessions
Running a business can feel like spinning plates. You're often juggling marketing, operations, customers, and suppliers. Things grow naturally as you chase opportunities and tackle challenges, until your business takes on a life of its own.
That’s the beauty of small businesses: they evolve with you. But it can also leave you feeling stuck or unsure where you’re heading.
​
Our half-day strategy sessions give you the space to step back, see the bigger picture, and build a clear, achievable plan for your marketing and operations - one that fits you and your business.
How our strategy sessions work
Our half-day strategy sessions are one-to-one, giving you dedicated time with Gabriella to step back and plan your marketing and operations. Choose a morning (9am–1pm) or afternoon (2pm–6pm) at either the Cliftonville Hotel in Cromer or our Letheringsett Watermill space - both perfect for fresh thinking and focus.
Sessions cost £250 (including VAT) with refreshments provided. Because we can only offer a small number of these sessions each month, they often book up well in advance. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and direction.
