I honed my skills while employed as a corporate marketing manager for mid-sized companies, and as a consultant providing marketing and business advice since 2016. I have tactical hands-on skills as well as management expertise, this means fewer people for you to deal with if I'm on your project—which will save you time. My role involves many activities, including: working with you to develop and implement a strategic marketing plan, project management, website development, content writing and collateral development, sourcing external service providers, training and support for in-house marketing personnel. I understand the challenges faced by businesses with little or no dedicated internal marketing staff. Industrial distributors, manufacturers, business technology providers and others, value my depth of knowledge and my ability to establish or streamline marketing department processes for greater efficiencies. I have excellent project management skills which means that a project will meet your expectations in terms of quality of finished materials and delivery dates. I use data and analytics to balance the 'art' of marketing with science. My skills have been instrumental for improving returns on clients' investment of marketing dollars. I also have experience in the preparation of business plans.
