Marketing Made Simple, So You Can Focus on Business.

The Handy Marketing Company is a Suffolk-based boutique marketing agency that helps businesses grow with practical, flexible support. We work with startups, SMEs, established businesses, and charities predominantly across Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire (although we don’t mind where you are located).

Led by Clair Bryant, a Chartered Marketer with 25+ years of experience, we offer clear, hands-on help with:

  • Digital Marketing

  • Social Media Management

  • Email Marketing

  • Content Marketing

  • SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

  • AEM (Answer Engine Marketing)

  • Marketing Strategy & Planning

  • Analytics & Reporting

We focus on what works, no jargon, no agency fluff. Whether you need a full strategy or just someone to take social media off your plate, we make marketing manageable and effective.

We're a small core team—just Clair, and Matt. But behind the scenes, we work with an extensive network of trusted freelancers and consultants. This flexible model means we can bring in award-winning designers, developers with Disney and F1 credentials, content creators from global events, journalists from national newspapers, and niche marketing experts in sectors like finance, law, recruitment, and hospitality. It keeps our service agile, our pricing fair, and our solutions tailored to exactly what your business needs—no bloated overheads, no one-size-fits-all.
