Small businesses needing marketing support

Marketing support for small businesses

To date, most of my clients have come from the L&D sector, from digital training providers and learning technology suppliers to learning consultants and membership organisations. I’ve gained a thorough understanding of the sector and built a wide network across the community.

They’ve sought direction and a more structured approach to their marketing efforts. They’ve required help with their marketing plans to ensure their activity is strategically aligned with their business objectives.

After that, I’ve continued to provide ongoing leadership and support, helping to create effective campaigns and communications and executing marketing activities for my clients.

Other clients have needed an initial burst of help to set direction and then continuing contact to keep them on the right track - I act as a sounding board and bring value where it’s needed most.

Every client receives highly personalised support in person and/or via Zoom. I thoroughly enjoy being an extension of their team, the collaboration and the long-lasting partnerships.

Hayley provided excellent marketing support for my learning and development company, Arck Learning.

Her clear insights and practical strategies helped us refine our approach and improve our outreach. Hayley was professional, creative, and easy to work with throughout.

I’d happily recommend her to any business looking for reliable marketing expertise.
— Craig Stevenson, Director, Arck Learning
My company is a small events business. A strong Marketing Strategy is absolutely key to our survival in a crowded and challenging industry.

When we were looking for a Marketing Consultant in 2022 to refresh our approach, we immediately knew we had found what we were looking for with Hayley.

She took time to understand our brand, completed a full audit of our social media and talked through different approaches to Marketing that we had not considered.

A key implementation of Hayley’s was to create a Launch Plan Template for new venues. It’s proved an invaluable tool, helping us keep a structured vision which is crucial to a successful event roll out.

Hayley is incredibly thorough, organised, approachable and an excellent communicator. We would have no hesitation in recommending her to any small business!

I use Hayley as my marketing consultant and she has been fantastic.

She has really helped me get over my sporadic, on and off, shiny object approach to marketing and instead helped me build a solid foundation upon which I can develop a focused, consistent and effective approach, and whilst it’s early days I am already starting to notice an impact in terms of what people recognise my business for and their awareness of what I do.

If you’re a small business I would highly recommend her.

At Quantum Rise, we understand how important marketing is. We have spent a few years looking for the perfect partner, someone who works flexibly, responsively and who ‘gets us’.

We have found all of this and so much more in working with Hayley at Maisey Marketing. Hayley is not only our marketing partner, but also our thought partner who challenges us because she genuinely wants what is best for us and for Quantum Rise as a business.

She is values driven and we trust her 100%. She has been able to step into our business and provide us with valuable advice and goes above and beyond every time no matter what she is working on. Hayley has not only worked with us to put together a robust marketing strategy but has executed it with accuracy and confidence, meaning that we have been able to step away and focus on our own areas of strength, knowing that she is always on it!

Hayley makes us feel like we are her only client, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other small businesses.
— Hayley Bird, Delivery Director, Quantum Rise
 
 
 
 

I had the pleasure of working with Hayley as our marketing consultant at Sussex Film Office, Worcestershire Film Office, and Fame. When Hayley came on board, we had no existing marketing strategies in place, and it was crucial for us to make a significant impact in our industry. I can confidently say that Hayley exceeded our expectations in every way possible.

From day one, it was evident that Hayley had a deep understanding of our businesses. She quickly grasped the unique needs and nuances of each organisation. Her ability to hit the ground running and adapt to our specific requirements was truly impressive.

What sets Hayley apart is her meticulous and extremely organized approach to her work. She leaves no stone unturned, and her attention to detail is second to none. This level of dedication and precision ensured that our marketing efforts were always top-notch.

One of the most impressive aspects of Hayley’s work is her consistency in meeting all deadlines thrown at her. No matter how tight the timeline, she managed her time and resources efficiently to deliver outstanding results. Her commitment to timeliness and quality is truly commendable.

In every project we undertook, Hayley delivered without fail, and always to a high standard. Her expertise shone through in every campaign, strategy, and piece of content she produced. With Hayley on board, we saw a significant positive impact on our marketing efforts and, ultimately, our businesses.

If you’re seeking a marketing consultant who not only understands your business but also consistently delivers exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Hayley. Her dedication, organisation, and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable asset to any team or organisation.

Thank you, Hayley, for your outstanding work and for helping us achieve our marketing goals!

When contracting for Wired Sussex Hayley was able to swiftly analyse the audience and output needs for a particular project and then came up with great ideas for improving our marketing plan.

Her experience and confidence meant she worked quickly and efficiently to deliver solutions and was a joy to work with.

I would highly recommend her services.

I’ve worked with Hayley for around two years now and she has really helped to shape and launch Triangle’s marketing function.

Our marketing campaigns have been well planned and delivered and our new product launches have attracted lots of interest.

Hayley has been wonderful to work with and, most recently, has been a great help as we recruited our first Marketing and Product Manager, ensuring that Hayley’s work will have a lasting legacy at Triangle.

I had the pleasure of working with Hayley on my marketing strategy and roadmap.

Hayley helped me to break things down in a way that completely dispelled my overwhelm about marketing - she listened to my pain points and frustrations about marketing and gently helped me to understand the process much more clearly.

I now have a step-by-step roadmap that will help me to achieve my goals and align me with the businesses I want to attract. Hayley has helped me to feel much more organised and grounded in my marketing; she is kind, professional and supportive and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Hayley while on the Board of The Learning Network (previously the eLearning Network).

Hayley was brought in to manage the Connect conference, a role she excelled at all the way from creating the marketing materials to helping to schedule the speakers and engage sponsors, through to ensuring the event ran like clockwork on the day. The positive feedback from delegates was overwhelming.

Since that first event, Hayley has continued supporting the Board with marketing and PR. She is totally professional, really good at what she does and also a joy to work with.

I can’t recommend her highly enough for the individual attention she will bring to your organisation and the benefits you will reap from her input.
— Joan Keevill, former Chair, The eLearning Network (eLN)
 
 
I have contracted Hayley for multiple marketing campaign projects. The reason I keep going back is because of her awareness of how businesses work and her ability to quickly tap in to the the aims and objectives of each campaign and identify relevant solutions.

I know I can trust Hayley to plan and execute a campaign from start to finish, and that she will slot into our team seamlessly because of her lovely personality and effective communication style.
