Your marketing should be simple.

So why doesn’t it feel that way?

When marketing feels like too much

You’ve heard countless times how crucial marketing is. You don’t dispute it. You try social media. You send the odd email out. You’ve even done an SEO course. But nothing seems to really work. Or maybe you don’t have time to really give anything a proper go. It’s always an unticked box on your to-do list.

Marketing feels overwhelming.

The real problem (and fix)

Frankly, you're in a bit of a marketing muddle...

Saying it politely. Here’s the straight talk: marketing itself isn’t usually the problem. It’s your lack of marketing strategy, direction, and a solid action plan.

But when you do have these wonderful things in place, your marketing — and your business — feels so much simpler. Because this simplicity helps you do the right kind of effective marketing — so you attract ready-to-buy customers, convert website visitors into more sales, increase revenue, and boost profits.

Let’s fix your marketing muddle, shall we?

Meet Gill Bishop — that’s me!

A professional marketing de-muddler (ok, marketing strategist, if we’re being formal)

I create impactful marketing strategies for managing directors, sales directors, CEOs, business owners, and other business leaders in retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, FMCG and product-based sectors.

And, I make those strategies happen — which means action! Right from the initial stages of planning, manufacturing, and logistics through to customer service, category management and more. . .

“Gill is down-to-earth, straight-talking, and hugely professional.

I have had the pleasure of working with her on several projects… and she’s able to make sense of any chaos I throw at her. By asking the difficult questions, Gill unscrambles situations and proposes sensible and practical solutions. Solutions which she herself is usually very happy to implement.”

Any questions?

Here are some of the ones I get asked most often. Can’t see what you need? Just get in touch.

Do you only work with product-based businesses?

No, but it is my specialism. Most of my clients are product businesses in retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce, because that’s where category management and strategy are required. I also support service-based businesses now and then, if the fit is right.

What if I don’t know which service I need?

It’s absolutely normal to be unsure and where most people start out. We’ll have a quick chat about where you are now, and I’ll point you to the option that makes sense.

Do you do one-off projects, or only retainers?

I can work in both ways. Some clients bring me in for a project like a retailer pitch deck or a category review. Others prefer ongoing support to keep things going. It depends what you need, and we can mix and match.

I don’t have a marketing team. Can you still help?

Of course. Whether you’re a solo founder, a small business, or a senior leader without marketing backup, I slot in as your plug in support. Think of me as your marketing director without the salary overhead.

How quickly can you get started?

Usually within a couple of weeks or so. It depends on my diary, but I’ll always be upfront about timings and if it’s urgent, I’ll see what I can do.
