What can a freelance marketing manager do for a small business in Hampshire?

The quick answer. A freelance marketing manager gives your business senior marketing experience without a full-time salary. They work out who you're for and what to say, plan your marketing, and either do the work with you or set it up so you can run it yourself. I'm Rose, and I work with small businesses across Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.

Who is a freelance marketing manager for?

A freelance marketing manager is for small businesses that are growing, but don't have a marketer. You might be running everything yourself or with a small team, and be unsure who you should really be targeting. Sound familiar? Here are the signs it's time:

• You post when you find a spare hour, and it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere

• You have lots of ideas but no plan

• You're not sure who your ideal customer is, or what to say to them

• A full-time hire feels too expensive, and an agency feels too big

What does a freelance marketing manager actually do?

A freelance marketing manager plans and delivers the marketing a small business needs, from the thinking to the doing. Here's what I do:

• Brand strategy and marketing planning. Working out who you're for, what to say and when to say it, with a calendar built around your key dates.

• Social media and creators. Plans, content and community, UGC, and finding and managing creators.

• Launches and events. Planning the moments that matter, before and after.

• Audits. A one-off look at what's working and what to do first.

I can do it for you, or set it up so you can run it yourself.

What would working together look like?

It starts with a conversation. Tell me about your business and what you're trying to do, and I'll suggest where to begin. For many businesses, that's an audit, which shows what's working and what isn't. From there we agree a plan and a price, then I start on the first priority.

Why choose a local freelancer?

A local freelancer can meet you in person, see your business first-hand and get to know your customers. I'm based in Hampshire, and I work with businesses across the South of the UK.

Which kinds of business do you work with?

I mostly work with health and wellness, hospitality and service-based businesses. I've worked with a premium fitness brand, so I understand how people choose where to spend their time and money on their wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions

What does a freelance marketing manager do?
A freelance marketing manager plans and delivers a business's marketing on a flexible basis. That can include strategy, social media, creator partnerships, launches and events, either done for you or set up so you can run it.

How is a marketing manager different from a social media manager?
A social media manager looks after your social channels. A marketing manager looks at the whole picture, including who you're for, what you say and where you show up, and social is one part of it.

Do you only work locally?
I'm focused on Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Wiltshire, but I'm happy to work further afield, and many projects can be done remotely.
