 Armed with just a camera and cheap microphone, I talk you through my first 3 years as a Freelance Marketing Consultant. The good, the bad, and the things you need to think about if you’re planning to do this yourself. I’m not a professional video editor, and this is my first attempt at doing a video blog. I’m happy to talk to and speak to anyone that wants to understand how I do things, unless I get too many messages and they become overwhelming!

7 reasons why you need to consider a marketing consultant

7 reasons why you need to consider a marketing consultant. Why 7? Because 10 would make this post too long! ;-) It's been a while since I wrote my last blog on here, I even missed the 2nd Birthday back in April! So it's time to rejuvenate this page with a new blog. Whatever size or type of business you're in, you're doing some form of marketing, even if you don't fully realise it yet. I hope this short blog will go some way to help you think about how you're marketing your business or organisation. This list of 7…

Wow, I’ve made it a year!

The final blog of my new business start-up, celebrating 1 year of trading ! Wow, I've made it a year! Happy Birthday to The Winning Formulae Ltd Welcome to what is basically the final installment in my new business start-up blog! Don't worry, the blog won't be going away. Moving forward I'll be using it to share relevant industry trends and news, and may even invite the odd guest contributor now and again. Why is this the final new business start-up blog? Well, on 28th April 2017, the business celebrated 1 year of trading. I use the term 'celebrated' loosely…

9 Months In

9 Months In Mostly blue skies Green grass in 2016, but what will 2017 hold? Doesn’t time fly! This was meant to be a blog about how things were going after 6 months, but instead due to client commitments and a busy motor racing season, I haven’t had the time to write it until now. Oh well, so it’ll just have to be a blog about how things are going after nine months. Happy with that? So how is it all going then? Well, pretty good overall I’d say, I’ve actually surprised myself at how well things have gone up…

3 Months In

3 Months In The highs and lows of working for yourself Not so much of a Rollercoaster ride, more like a Ferris Wheel Right then, I promised an update of how working for myself was going, so here it is, almost 3 months later! So why has it taken me 3 months to get round to this? Well, I've been too busy working (and motor racing too, but that's a blog for another time).  Talk about living the dream, but that's actually how I feel right now. It's given me a new sense of positivity and enthusiasm which I hope naturally…

My short experience of consulting so far

My short experience of consulting so far. Coffee, lots of coffee. Or Tea.  The Winning Formulae Ltd is go! I've written this blog as a way of letting people know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I've had so many messages of support and quite a few curious people asking what I've done - I love it! And thank you all for your kind words of support.I'd always wanted to become self-employed, so contracting work has given me an opportunity to dip my toe in the water without becoming fully committed, as after all I could just go out and get…
