Choosing a marketing partner: Why aligned values are so important
There are many jobs and responsibilities that companies choose to outsource. Yet, there is something a bit more exciting about outsourcing marketing.

Is sourcing locally better for ethical businesses?
There’s no doubt that ethical consumerism has become important to the British public in the past few years. In the age of the internet, it is so easy to find and share information. Companies not meeting the ethical standards buyers expect are increasingly being found out and called out. With environmentalism becoming a hot topic, […]
IS FACEBOOK OVER FOR SMALL BUSINESS MARKETING?

ARE YOUR IDEAS STOPPING YOU FROM SLEEPING?
(OR IS IT THE WORRY?) One of my downfalls, as well as not having patience (see yesterday’s posts), is that I have too many ideas. The last two nights I’ve still been lying wide awake at 2am, just thinking about what I could do to build my business. How I can make tweaks, offer more […]
DO YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS?
