Someone in your corner
Your marketing mentor
Marketing is one of those careers that can feel relentless. The role is broad, the expectations are high and the pace rarely leaves space to stop and think about where you're heading, what you're building or whether the decisions you're making are actually the right ones.
Around 58% of marketers are feeling overwhelmed, and roughly the same number feel undervalued. 7 out of 10 marketing professionals say they're left to make key decisions entirely on their own. That's not a personal failing. That's an industry that doesn't give its people enough support.
Someone in Your Corner is here to change that. One hour, once a month, with a dedicated marketing partner who knows the industry, understands the pressure, and shows up ready to work through whatever you're facing - your role, your career, your confidence, or all three.
All for just £100 per month.

You're probably better at this than you think.
The problem isn't usually capability. It's clarity, and it’s having no one to sense-check your thinking with. It's making big calls without an independent voice to challenge or validate them. It's knowing something isn't quite right but not being sure what, or not having anyone to talk it through with.
Marketing Week reports that nearly two-thirds of marketers believe marketing strategy is undervalued in their organisations. Most of them are right. But having someone external in your corner and someone with no agenda, no office politics, and no stake in the outcome other than helping you do better work, changes what's possible.
Whether you're earlier in your career and trying to figure out how to grow faster and smarter, mid-level and feeling like you've hit a ceiling, thinking about going freelance, or just wanting a proper thinking partner who gets it - this is for you.
What this is and what it isn't
This is not a course. No modules, no frameworks to fill in, no certificates to collect.
This is a working relationship. One hour every month with a senior marketing strategist who gets to know you, your role, your ambitions, your frustrations, and your blockers and works through them with you. Not at you. With you.
Some months, that's about your career direction. Some months, it's a strategic challenge you're wrestling with at work. Some months, it's about rebuilding confidence after a period that's knocked it. All of it is valid. All of it is what we're here for.
You bring what's most pressing. We bring the experience, the independence, and the honest thinking to help you move forward.
What we work through together
Your career direction: Where are you heading, and is the route you're on actually getting you there? We help you get clear on what you want, what's realistic, and what might need to shift.
Your role and your day-to-day: Struggling to get buy-in from leadership? Not sure how to show the value of what you do? Stretched too thin across too many priorities? Bring it. We've seen it before, and we'll help you work through it.
Your confidence: Imposter syndrome is real, and it's rife in marketing. Having someone who can reflect back what you're actually capable of — and push back on the stories you're telling yourself — is more valuable than most people realise.
Your next move: Promotion, pivot, freelance, agency, in-house — whatever you're weighing up, an independent voice with no agenda and genuine industry knowledge makes the decision a lot clearer.
Your strategic thinking: The best marketing decisions come from thinking out loud with someone who challenges your assumptions. That's what this is for.
Who this is for
Any marketer, at any stage, who wants more than they're currently getting from their role, their career, or both. You don't need to be at a certain level. You don't need to have it figured out before you start. You just need to show up and be willing to do the thinking.
