Marketing strategy and support across Cambridgeshire

Clear direction and expert marketing support for Cambridgeshire businesses and charities, led by a Chartered Fellow of the CIM.

Strategy support from Cambridge to the Fens

Cambridgeshire’s business community stretches from the science and technology firms around Cambridge to market towns, agricultural businesses in the Fens and a strong network of charities. However different they are, many share the same challenge: knowing their marketing could do more, without the time or in-house expertise to plan it properly.

We bring that expertise. We help you set clear goals, understand your customers and build a plan that works for your budget. We support businesses and charities in Cambridge, Ely, Peterborough, Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, March, Wisbech and Soham, and across the rest of East Anglia.

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.

    Donna Talbot Arthur Rank Hospice Charity

  • Clair has been an absolute superstar, who has been a pleasure to work with. 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.

    Sharon Livermore MBE

  • Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out. We've already recommended them to others.
