WHO I HELP

Does this sound familiar?

Most business owners I talk to know their marketing could be working harder. They're just not sure what to change.

"We need more customers, and word of mouth alone isn't bringing enough in."

Recommendations got you this far, but they come when they come. You want more people finding you, getting in touch and buying, without leaving it to chance. That takes a practical plan for bringing business in: who you're trying to reach, where they look and what will make them choose you. I write that plan with you, then put it into action.

See how I can help

"We're spending money, but I don't know what we're getting back."

You're paying for ads, a website or someone to post for you, but it's hard to see what's bringing in customers. Nobody has shown you the numbers in a way that makes sense. You want to know what's working, what needs changing and where your money should go next. A Marketing MOT gives you that picture in a week, for a fixed price.

Start with a Marketing MOT

"I haven't got time to do the marketing, so it never gets done."

There's always something more urgent. The website needs updating, the emails don't get sent and the good ideas stay on the list. You're busy running the business. You need someone to take the marketing off your desk, get things moving and keep them moving, month after month. That's what monthly support is for.

RESULTS

What changed for other owners.

Three small businesses, what each one needed and what was different afterwards. I measure the work against the numbers that matter to the owner: enquiries, sales and what the marketing costs.

Three recent examples

  1. Landscaping Company, Castleford

They wanted more leads from their website. I improved how the site turns visitors into enquiries and ran paid advertising to bring more of the right people to it. Monthly enquiries rose by 85% in three months.

+85%

+85%

More enquiries in 3 months

  1. Online Retailer, Bolton

An ecommerce business with steady traffic but flat sales. I sharpened the offer, set up a regular customer email and ran a seasonal campaign across email and social. Monthly sales rose by 40% in six months.

+40%

+40%

New sales in the first 6 months

  1. Roofing Company, Wigan

They were paying for ads every month without knowing what came back. I reviewed the account, cut the spend that wasn’t working and moved the budget to what was. The cost of each enquiry fell by 35% in three months.

About ME

my vision

I've spent more than 15 years leading in-house marketing teams, with responsibility for the budgets, the campaigns and the daily work of getting things live.


Most small businesses can't justify a senior marketer on the payroll. I started And Newton so you can have one for the work you need.


You work with me from the first conversation through to delivery. I'm based in Bolton and work with businesses across the UK, remotely and in person.

I'm a really small business. Is this for me?

You might be starting out, looking for more customers, trying to win better work or struggling to find time for marketing. We’ll look at what you want to change, how I can help and what makes sense for your budget. That could be a focused project or ongoing support.

Are you an agency?

No. You work with me directly, and I stay responsible for the agreed work through to delivery. If a job needs specialist production, that's agreed and costed with you first.

How soon will I see a difference?

That depends on what we’re changing, where you’re starting and how long customers take to decide. Some improvements can go live quickly; seeing their effect on sales may take longer. I’ll set expectations for your business before we start and report progress against the measures we agree.

What's the commitment?

Monthly support follows a six-month plan with an initial three-month commitment. You can stop at the end of month three. Your proposal explains the review and stop option before you sign. One-off projects have an agreed scope and no ongoing commitment.

Can't I just use AI to do this?

AI is genuinely useful, and I use it every day myself. But there's a difference between marketing content and marketing judgement. AI can produce a competent marketing plan. What it can't do is tell you which plan is right for your business, push back when you're about to spend money on something that won't work, or be accountable when something goes wrong. The way I think about it: AI can give you ten options, my job is to tell you which one is actually right for you. You're paying for the judgement, not the typing.

We’ll talk through the business and whether I can help. If we’re a good fit, I’ll send a proposal with the work, timings and price. If you don’t need me yet, I’ll say so.
