Whether project-by-project or on a retainer/regular basis, Minerva Marketing can bring a wealth of marketing experience at an hourly rate to suit your budget, including:

Website review and management

Do your website bring in business? Does your content need an overhaul? Do you need someone to keep it updated?  And how is your SEO doing? I am not a website designer but can help you ensure your current site is working hard for you.

 

Digital marketing and social media review and planning

Think you should be doing more social media but don’t know where to start?  Or just can’t think what to say? I can help you decide which platforms will work for your business and plan and write the content you should be sharing.

 

l

Copywriting and proof-reading

Is producing content a chore? Do you doubt your own writing? I love writing – and I’m often told it shows in what I write – so Minerva can produce content to suit any media and audience, or edit and proof what you have produced.

 

Training and mentoring

New to marketing and need to learn the essentials fast? Keen to do more of your own marketing but not sure where to start?  A training course or bespoke mentoring package with Minerva can get you achieving your goals quickly. Get in touch to discuss what you need. 

 

Marketing strategy and planning

Not clear on your USP? Need a brand overhaul? Minerva excel at a ‘back to basics’ approach to marketing strategy that will ensure your messages and plans reflect your strengths – and what your customers value you for.

 

PR

Not getting the profile you’d like? Have a reduced marketing budget so need to get more for less? I can help plan some public relations (digital or traditional or both) to help you keep one step ahead of your competition.

 

By discussing your business needs, budgets and objectives, we can tailor an approach that will get the results you want. I currently charge £44 per hour or £350 per day (no VAT applicable).

Claire worked for us as interim Marketing & Admissions Manager for three months. She is more than just a safe pair of hands; her experience both as a manager and in education meant she was able to take a number of projects forward. Her practical and friendly approach also meant that she fitted in well with the existing staff team and was able to provide support beyond simply her marketing remit.

Principal

Claire has been a most reliable inspiration for me in the early stages of my start-up.  Her positive outlook, together with a well grounded dose of wisdom acquired from years of experience in the marketing industry, make her a unique free-lance operative that I regard as a trusted member of my team.  In setting up my new business, Claire helped me to focus on what my potential clients would be looking for.  She was instrumental in helping to work out what my website needed to do and say before we went to a web designer, which I know for sure saved me both time and money.  I have Claire to thank for the position I’m now in – the owner of a thriving business with a wonderful team that keeps growing. “

Vicky Maddison
Owner/Lead Practitioner

As a graphic designer and web-design professional, I know how to make a great looking website. However, when it came to my own website, I wanted a marketing view to make sure it hits all the right audiences. Claire was happy to work flexibly to give me ideas and feedback when I needed it.Claire has become a useful contact and we’ve now worked with several mutual clients. Claire is a marketer with a very practical approach so we get on well, which always helps!

What makes Claire so unique is that she’s not afraid to express an opinion, and then she helps you to carry it out.  Claire writes the most beautiful text for introductions and brings a personable freshness to my communication with clients and contacts alike.  She’s a quantifiable asset to the company.

“Claire is really good , she has helped me build my business to a new level.
Thanks to her ongoing support and help.
Claire is really good to work with and very friendly and quick to respond to my emails and asks.”

“Claire has looked after my marketing for several months now. She’s a total breath of fresh air.
I’m a sole trader who’s hugely busy doing what I do best, but that leaves very little time for planning and scheduling my social media posts, forecasting posts for the month ahead, and having an overview of my business. Claire has become the missing piece of my puzzle. She’s organised, patient, methodical and understands how to work with small, busy business owners like me.
Highly recommend her.”

“I’ve been using Claire at Minerva for the last couple of months to outsource my social media. I’ve seen an increase in google searches and had a few good comments on the posts from people that know me and didn’t realised I’d outsourced. When I told them they felt that Claire had really found my voice and they wouldn’t have known which I think is a great testament to her getting to know the business and knowing what to put out for engagement. I would recommend her to any small business looking to outsource this to build awareness.”

“The help, ideas and support Claire has given myself and the networking groups I have been part of has been to no end and has not only extended the usefulness of these groups, but helped me individually too to improve my own business. Claire has given valuable advice which has certainly increased my client base by not only setting up a Google Business account when we first met 4 yrs ago, to helping me improve this account more recently too. Also more recently I have attended one of her marketing workshops. Despite having been in business for 12 years now there is always room for improvement and the workshop helped me to home in on tools I’d not known how to use such as Google Anylitics and having a checklist to enable objectives to happen. Further to this Claire has recently written some excellent blogs for my business, looking back which actually is a great way of showing new clients your worth. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Minerva Marketing’s excellent ways to keep your business in check, not only upto date, but out there for all to find you easily.
Thank you Claire for your continued support in helping me still find new clients even after 12 years of being in business myself.”

“Working with Claire was very easy and Claire became a great asset to the team. Claire’s ability to understand the context of what we were wanting to achieve and actively contribute ideas and suggestions in addition to producing the content required was invaluable. Thank you, Claire.”

Carl Panteny
Head of Marketing & Content (via Google)

“I highly recommend Claire for anyone needing help with their online presence. She does a fantastic job managing our website and consistently writes engaging, high-quality blog posts. Claire always brings fresh, creative ideas to the table that have really helped our brand. Beyond her skills, she is a pleasure to work with—incredibly friendly and very quick to respond to emails and queries.
5 stars!”
