Come say hello.

Hi, I’m Gill Bishop.

Marketing strategist for manufacturers. retailers, e-commerce, FMCG & product-based businesses

Now, let’s not reveal my age, but… I’ve been immersed in the retail and product world for quite a while. One thing I often encounter is people expressing their dislike for marketing. Even when they don’t say it outright, I can see the signs — the sighs, the eye rolls, the quick change of topic.

You feel frustrated with marketing. The results aren’t paying off. It’s overwhelming. And even if you enjoy giving it a go, do you find vital marketing tasks usually slide down your to-do list?

But you’re not a marketer, are you?

You’re skilled in your area, you’re excelling in what you do — and you’re busy. Marketing ends up a sporadic effort, rather than a strategic one.

Your approach to marketing? I want to change it.

Let’s be honest — it’s either not working or not doing enough. You know how crucial marketing is, but you’re stuck in a muddle.

This is where I step in. I provide you, your team, and your business with the marketing insight, direction, strategy, and support you need to make a real impact.

No more marketing muddle, alright?

Let’s talk more >

My belief: your marketing doesn’t have to feel complicated

Imagine looking at your marketing with clarity, confidence, and assurance that your efforts are on the right track — attracting ready-to-buy customers, converting website visitors into sales, increasing revenue, and boosting profits.

Honestly, the ‘complicated’ stuff isn’t really complicated. It’s specific, focused, intricate, and detailed — but it’s my language, my skillset. I can help you simplify it so it actually works to achieve your goals.

“Working with Gill is really helping to professionalise our marcomms”

“. . .and we’re delighted with the progress we have made, and look forward to continuing into the future.”

THE ‘ME’ IN YOUR MARKETING

Crafting, creativity. ..and marketing

I’d tell any client this: (brand) personality matters. It’s how you attract the right customers who are going to convert, and become brand fanatics.

The same goes for choosing someone to support your marketing efforts. It’s important to feel a connection and share values.

Here’s something that counts: I’m a creative soul. Now, you don’t have to love crafting at your dining table like I do, but if you appreciate imaginative and original marketing ideas, it helps to know that creativity is something I don’t just value — I enjoy.

What’s is CherryAid?

I get asked this from time to time!

I have a beautiful cherry tree in my garden that brings us bright, red, juicy cherries every year. I can see it from my home office, and it brings me a lot of joy.

It’s as simple as that. Why overcomplicate things? With CherryAid, I bring fun, fizz, and flavour to your marketing, just like the cherries in my garden.

From factory floor to store and beyond. . .

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…

Why partner with me to boost your marketing?

Let’s start with the practicalities; I’m experienced in:

And me as a person? Well, I’m. . .
