Bringing big business
marketing expertise to
your growing company
You’ve successfully grown your own business but reached a plateau.
You don’t have any marketing resource of your own.
You have a specific project that you want doing well.
You'd love to have an experienced senior marketer on your team but can’t afford permanent resource.
You have no intention of letting a big marketing agency push you around.
You’ve tried to do some marketing but you’re not sure it’s hitting the mark.
So you think you should do some marketing. But what even is marketing?
Brief Marketing can…
come to your growing business to define, enhance or run marketing elements briefly or brief others to do so on your behalf. Or if you prefer we can equip you with the tools to do it yourself.
Brief Engagements
So what do we mean by a Brief Engagement? We mean that we’ll do whatever you need doing, with no faffing. Then we’re gone. Unless you ask us to come back. Zero kerfuffle, maximum impact.

A dose of brutal honesty from a couple of no-nonsense marketing experts
Our Superstar Team
Brief Marketing was founded in 2017 by Charlotte Barsby and Jo Cutting; they realised that their concise approach borne from corporate expertise and rigour, combined with pragmatism and common sense, and the intense focus to get good work done quickly that motherhood overlays, could be incredibly useful to the high number of growing businesses in their local area.
“Charlotte quickly earned a reputation for getting things done, successfully working with many different areas of the business, external suppliers and demanding stakeholders to meet often demanding timelines. Being willing to deliver difficult messages when they need to be delivered, and balancing customer needs with adding value to the business bottom line.”
