Turn Strategy into Action

— and Build the Capabilities to Keep It Going

We help small to mid-sized businesses implement high-impact marketing and sales strategy — and give their teams the tools and communication skills to own it in-house.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t do it for you — We do it with you.

Most agencies and consultants build dependence. Their business model grows when they do more and your team does less.

At Hargreaves Marketing, we do the opposite.

We embed capability — so your people can confidently drive strategy, projects, and communication themselves. When the job is done, we step back, leaving you stronger and more self-reliant.

Helping You Bring It All Together

At Hargreaves Marketing, I specialise in co-ordination — the kind that makes marketing and sales actually work together.

You’re busy. Your teams are stretched. There are campaigns, content, strategies, agencies, and channels to manage — and no time to make sure it’s all aligned.

That’s where I come in.

With over 30 years of experience, including a key role as Marketing Co-ordinator at Daniel Thwaites PLC, I’ve helped leaders across multiple sectors turn scattered efforts into joined-up strategies. I don’t claim to be an expert in every niche — but I know how to get the right people, plans and priorities aligned so that everything pulls in the same direction.

If your team is juggling too much and needs clarity, focus and follow-through — let’s talk.

Core Pillars – Integrated, Always

Every business needs both:
Strong Process — to execute consistently and effectively
️Clear Communication — to articulate ideas, strategy, and results at every stage

We integrate both into every engagement:

  • Strategic reviews and planning tools tailored to your business

  • Support for execution across projects and campaigns

  • Communication training, roleplays, and coaching

  • Hands-on help creating presentations, internal documents, knowledge hubs, and more

Whether you’re building capability in sales or marketing, process and communication go hand in hand.

How We Help

A practical, proven approach — designed to build capability that lasts.
We combine consultancy, coaching, and powerful growth tools to help you:

  • Implement repeatable, high-quality marketing practices

  • Equip your team with frameworks used by top agencies and brands

  • Communicate ideas, strategy, and results with confidence

  • Deliver complex work on time and on budget

  • Develop internal talent into future-ready leaders

Why It Works

40+ years of experience. 100% focus on capability.
Over my career I have helped hundreds of professionals turn strategy into action — not by outsourcing, but by upskilling.

This model works best for owners and leaders who want to:

  • Solve real business challenges

  • Empower their teams to execute

  • Build a marketing and sales function that’s clear, confident, and consistent
