Friendly marketing advice for small businesses, creators and passion projects
Marketing doesn’t need to feel overwhelming, confusing or out of reach.
Marketing Stuff is a small, personal project built around a simple idea: with the right guidance and a bit of encouragement, anyone can learn to do the basics of marketing well — especially when they care about what they’re building.
How I can help
Can you help with the marketing stuff?
After many requests to “help with marketing stuff’ from individuals with small businesses around the South Hams in Devon, I created Marketing Stuff as a way to share my knowledge and meet local business owners and creators who either want to get some advice or work together on new ideas and ventures.
Tagline
What this is (and what it isn’t)
Marketing Stuff is a place for:
– Free, informal marketing advice
– Practical guidance for getting started
– Honest thoughts and learnings from real-world experience
– Helping ideas move from “thinking about it” to “actually doing it”
Tagline
Who it’s for?
Marketing Stuff is for:
– Small business owners and sole traders
– Creators building an audience around something they care about
– Entrepreneurs and side-project builders
– Anyone working on a passion-led project who wants a clearer place to start
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place!
The marketing stuff I help with
Most conversations start with a coffee, a question, or someone trying to make sense of where to focus next.
Sometimes that’s where it stays — a bit of advice, a clearer plan, or reassurance that you’re already doing the right things. Occasionally, if timing and capacity allow, those conversations turn into some small, practical pieces of paid work too.
Because this project sits alongside my day job and family life, I’m not always able to take on paid work — and when I do, it’s usually smaller, well-defined pieces rather than ongoing commitments. That said, I’m always happy to talk things through and offer advice where I can.
These are the areas I tend to help with most often:
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
Helping make sense of SEO — from getting the basics right to understanding what’s worth focusing on (and what probably isn’t). This is often about guidance, audits, and prioritisation rather than long-term campaigns.
Social Media
Support with social media strategy, content ideas and consistency, especially for people who want their social presence to feel manageable and authentic.
Brand & Messaging
Helping clarify what you do, who it’s for, and how to talk about it clearly. Often this is about refinement, confidence, and making things feel more joined up.
Graphic Design
Occasional help with simple, practical design work — social graphics, basic brand assets, or visual tidy-ups that help everything feel more cohesive.
Video
Advice and support around video content, from getting started to keeping things realistic. Often focused on confidence, formats, and doing what’s achievable with the time you have.
Copywriting
Helping shape website copy, social captions, or messaging so it sounds more like you — clear, human and honest, without trying too hard.
Local, friendly and always happy to chat
I’m based in Kingsbridge, Devon, and I love supporting people in the local community. If you’re nearby and would like to talk through a project, ask a few marketing questions, or sanity-check an idea, feel free to get in touch.
I’m always up for a coffee and a chat.
I genuinely enjoy these conversations — they’re a great way to meet like-minded people, share ideas, and learn from each other as we go.
