The Suffolk bit
The Marketing G is written from Suffolk: born in Ipswich, two decades just up the road. The advice travels anywhere, but if you run a business round here, you're reading someone who knows your patch.
Local roots. Practical marketing.
I'm Gareth Wray. I spent twelve years in B2B sales before moving into marketing. The advice here starts with a familiar problem: you've got a business to run, and marketing gets whatever time is left.
This is a free publishing project, not an agency directory. I do run my own business (marketing, sales and AI under The Marketing G, websites under One Week Sites), so if you're local and want a hand, say so. The tools and advice are free whether you're in Suffolk or at the other end of the country, and nobody gets a follow-up call.
Pick the job you need to do
- Work out how many leads you need before choosing another channel.
- Write a one-page marketing brief to decide who you're trying to reach and why.
- Build a weekly scorecard that keeps enquiries and sales in view.
- Use AI for the marketing jobs you already have, without handing it your judgement.
