<h3>Introduction</h3>
With over 20 years of experience in marketing, I help businesses refine their strategy, grow profits, and establish a solid foundation for sustainable success. I specialise in working with small and medium-sized businesses that can’t afford a full-time marketing resource but need expert guidance to get their marketing right.&nbsp;
As a fractional CMO, board advisor, and interim CMO, I focus on helping companies professionalise their marketing, ensuring they have the right processes, positioning, and strategies in place to thrive.
I’m the founder and CEO of Sophera Marketing, (www.sopheramarketing.co.uk) where I work with businesses in a hands-on, practical way to drive real results. My expertise spans across industries, with a strong focus on payments, employee benefits, and financial education.
Beyond consulting, I teach marketing at The Cambridge School of Marketing and am a seasoned board advisor to SMEs.&nbsp;
<h3>My Approach</h3>
I believe in marketing that delivers real impact, not just vanity metrics. Too often, businesses chase brand awareness without a clear path to profitability. My approach is different: I focus on practical, measurable strategies that drive revenue, customer retention, and market positioning. I help businesses:
<ul>
<li>Clarify their positioning – ensuring they stand out in a crowded marketplace.</li>
<li>Develop strategic marketing plans – aligning marketing with business objectives.</li>
<li>Implement effective campaigns – balancing digital, content, and traditional marketing.</li>
<li>Refine pricing and product strategy – ensuring the offer matches market demand.</li>
<li>Build internal marketing capability – so they’re not reliant on external consultants forever.</li>
</ul>
I want my clients to succeed long-term, which is why my goal is to make myself redundant within two years. I help businesses grow up, setting up proper processes, structures, and teams so they can continue scaling without constant external support.
<h3>Why People Hire Me</h3>
Hiring me means getting an expert who is strategic but also hands-on. I don’t just advise; I implement. My clients appreciate my ability to cut through complexity and focus on what truly moves the needle. Here’s why businesses choose to work with me:
<ol>
<li>Deep Marketing Expertise – With two decades of experience, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t across multiple industries.</li>
<li>Clear, No-Nonsense Communication – I avoid jargon and corporate fluff, focusing on clear, actionable insights.</li>
<li>Results-Driven Approach – I ensure marketing efforts align with commercial goals, delivering tangible ROI.</li>
<li>Cross-Industry Knowledge – From fintech and payments to employee benefits and beyond, I bring broad expertise to the table.</li>
<li>Proven Leadership – As a fractional CMO and board advisor, I help companies professionalise their marketing and build high-performing teams.</li>
<li>Ethical and Transparent – I believe in honest advice, fair pricing, and delivering real value to clients.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Key Projects and Achievements</h3>
<ul>
<li>Rebranding Suresite to Attenda – Leading the transformation of a well-established payments business to serve the fuel, unattended, and franchise sectors.</li>
<li>Building Money Guided – Launching an AI-driven financial education platform that’s now a partner of Benefex and Ben, making financial wellbeing more accessible.</li>
<li>Driving Growth for SMEs – Helping small and medium-sized businesses establish their marketing foundations, grow revenue, and scale efficiently.</li>
<li>High-Impact Thought Leadership – Regularly publishing articles on LinkedIn and in the trade press about AI in HR, financial wellbeing, and the role of marketing in business growth.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who I Work With</h3>
I work best with businesses that are in the ‘grow up’ stage—those that have found product-market fit but now need structured, strategic marketing to scale. My clients range from fintech startups to established businesses looking to refine their positioning and approach. Whether it’s a short-term project or a longer-term engagement, I help companies professionalise their marketing without the overhead of a full-time CMO.
<h3>How We Can Work Together</h3>
If you’re looking for a marketing expert who will bring clarity, structure, and results, I’d love to chat. Whether you need a fractional CMO, a strategic consultant, or a short-term project lead, I can help you get your marketing right—so your business grows profitably and sustainably.
Let’s make marketing work for you. Get in touch to explore how we can collaborate.
