Before

With us
Prices were reset, quotes became a simple template and the website now shows the bigger projects the firm wants.

Why most marketing doesn't work.
Money goes on adverts before anyone has looked at prices, plans or what makes the business worth choosing.
The usual way
- Spending on adverts before a plan
- Prices nobody has checked
- Websites that say little
We're different
We look at the business first, then build the marketing around it.
- Business firstPrices and plans sorted before money goes on adverts.
- One teamConsulting and marketing working to the same plan.
- Plain EnglishNo jargon in advice, reports or adverts.
- Yours to keepWebsites, accounts and files in your name.
One team, one plan, in plain English.

How we work as advisers
Diagnose, plan, do, review.
The same steps every time, so you always know where things stand.
-
Diagnose
We look at the numbers, the workload and the marketing, and tell you plainly what we find.
-
Plan
We agree the priorities with you and write them down in plain English.
-
Do
We help put the plan into action, from pricing changes to a new brand, website or campaign.
-
Review
We meet regularly, look at what has changed and adjust the plan where the results say so.
Before and after
What changes when the business comes first.
Plain stories from the kind of owners we help.
Independent shop in Milton Keynes
Before
Loyal regulars, but people across the city had never heard of the shop.
With us
The clearer brand, an updated Google listing and local adverts now bring in new faces every week.
These stories are typical of the owners we help. Details are changed to keep them private.
Ways to work
Start small or go further.
We suggest what makes sense for the business.
Do you give business advice or do marketing?
Both. We give advice on planning, pricing and how the business runs, and we do the branding, website and marketing work. Most clients use a bit of each, and you only take on what is useful.
Do you use AI?
Yes, in almost every part of the work, including research, planning, writing, design ideas, website builds, advertising group posts and reporting. We use the latest AI tools on our own setup, and someone at Woburn checks everything before it goes out. Your business information is only used for your work.
What are the advertising groups?
Local advertising groups run by Woburn Marketing, where member businesses post adverts to people in their area.
Where do we start?
Get in touch and tell us about the business and what you want to change. If we are a good fit, we suggest a sensible first step, often a review of the business before anything bigger.
How much is membership?
Membership has an admin fee. Get in touch and we will go through it.
Who owns the work?
You do. Websites, web addresses, advertising accounts, brand files and plans are in your name from day one.
Where are you based?
Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire. We work with businesses across the UK, in person or online.
