Growth partnerships
Strategies for long term growth
Our Growth Partnership packages will harness the power of digital marketing to give your business long term, sustainable growth.
Working in partnership with you, we’ll provide digital marketing strategy, planning and support, acting as your fractional digital marketing manager. We’ll help you to develop a clear, measurable and realistic digital marketing strategy. We’ll assess the best mix of marketing tactics to deliver your objectives, regularly reviewing and adjusting our approach.
Discover
After conducting some initial research, we’ll meet with you to obtain a detailed understanding of your business, your audience and your aims.
Analyse and benchmark
Armed with the output from the ‘Discover’ stage, we will carry out a detailed analysis of your marketing status quo, competitors and market conditions.
We’ll also benchmark the key areas which we’re seeking to improve through our work together.
Plan
We’ll meet present our findings and recommended strategy. This is usually a detailed marketing plan for the first year and a broader roadmap for the following year.
Deliver
Once we’ve agreed the approach, we get to work!
We will keep you up to date with our activity and nothing will be published without your approval. We work flexibly, so should something urgent come up, or your priorities change mid-quarter, we’ll adapt to your needs.
Review
While we will be in regular contact, every quarter we’ll meet (either in person or online) to review progress to date, get an update from you about your business, and plan the following quarter in more detail.
Reset
Annually or every other year (depending on the pace of change in your industry) we’ll meet for a “reset”, which will take the form of a mini discovery session to make sure we’re up to date with the full operational details of your business, alongside a period of more intensive research and analysis.
The output from this will be an updated strategy for the coming two years.

What does a digital marketing strategy include? +
Through our discovery session, we’ll fully understand your business, audience, objectives and budget. The strategy and plan we recommend will then be tailored your situation and any specific services you’d like to include.
For example, it may incorporate traditional and AI search visibility, Google advertising, website and conversion improvements, content marketing, email marketing and social media, alongside recommendations for appropriate offline activity.
What’s the difference between a marketing strategy and a marketing plan? +
A marketing strategy sets out what you are trying to achieve, who you need to reach and the overall approach you’ll take. A marketing plan turns that strategy into specific activities, priorities, timings and budgets.
After our initial work to agree your strategy, we’ll continually review your digital marketing plan as results, opportunities and your business circumstances change. Your overarching strategy will be reviewed biennially, unless you’re in a particularly fast-paced industry or something exceptional happens which means we need to review it sooner.
Can you work alongside our existing marketing team or suppliers? +
Yes. We regularly work alongside internal teams and other specialists. Where appropriate, we’ll coordinate activity with existing web, PR, design, advertising, social media or other marketing partners to help ensure everyone is working towards the same objectives.
How much should an SME spend on digital marketing? +
There isn’t a single figure that’s right for every business. The appropriate investment depends on your objectives, market, competition, current marketing performance and how quickly you want to grow.
We’ll always give you options so we work at a pace and budget to suit you
How quickly will I see the results of your work? +
That’s very difficult to say. It’s dependent on so many factors, including what digital marketing you’ve done before, your market and competitor conditions, and the investment you make in your marketing.
We will always be realistic when we tell you what outcomes we expect to see from our work and when you’ll start to see tangible benefits.
How long is the Growth Partnership contract for? +
The initial contract is for three months, beyond that we work on a rolling monthly basis. If you wish to cancel, you just need to tell us at least 31 days in advance of your required cancellation date.
What is a fractional digital marketing manager? +
A fractional digital marketing manager gives you access to digital marketing expertise without employing someone full-time. We work as an extension of your business, helping you plan your marketing strategy, coordinate activity, monitor performance and make sure your budget is being invested in the areas most likely to deliver your objectives.
