Sound familiar?
Most of the businesses we work with have outgrown doing marketing on the side, but a full in-house team isn't realistic yet.
-
No clear plan
Marketing happens in bursts, with no joined-up plan behind it and no clear sense of what's working.
-
No time to do it well
You or your team are stretched, so marketing is the first thing to slip when things get busy.
-
Too many suppliers
A designer here, a web developer there. Keeping them all coordinated has become a job in itself.
One relationship. The right expertise.
The Handy Network is a curated group of trusted specialists, from designers and developers to content creators and SEO experts. Clair brings in the right people for your goals, coordinates the work and stays accountable for the results.
You get the depth of a much bigger team, without paying for a large permanent agency.
- One relationship Clair is your lead contact from the first conversation onwards.
- One plan Every specialist works to the same joined-up plan.
- One invoice You pay one bill, not a handful of separate suppliers.
- You

Clair, your lead contact

What clients say
-
The Handy Marketing Company were recommended to me when we were struggling to recruit. Clair was a delight to work with, knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic and responsive. Trying to keep things going when you're a team member down can be tough but Clair made it as easy as possible, providing flexibility and a guiding hand as to how to spend our limited budget wisely. She also helped to induct and support the new recruit providing continuity and maintaining quality. I would not hesitate to recommend her and she remains firmly in my contacts should I find myself in the same situation again or have the budget to involve her in specific projects. Everyone needs a Clair in their life.

I have nothing but praise for Clair and her team. I am a new business and did not even feature in a Google search and now I am on the first page! Clair's communication with me has kept me informed, and her professional approach to creating a strategy for me to move forward (and patience) has left me feeling confident and knowledgeable. I highly recommend The Handy Marketing Company and look forward to working on further projects for The Creative Desk with Clair.

Her expertise, along with her drive and enthusiasm meant that transitioning across to The Handy Marketing Company was seamless. Clair has excellent ideas, and the knowledge to implement them, whilst taking the pressure off and enabling me to do my day job. I highly recommend Clair and The Handy Marketing Company.

Clair was great to work with. She immediately understood what we were after, and has a very good eye for lay-out and design. We are very happy with the work she did on updating our website, and would highly recommend The Handy Marketing Company to anyone looking to create or update a website.
