About marketingstuff.co.uk
marketingstuff.co.uk is a marketing blog written for people that most marketing advice ignores.
Who it’s for:
- Solo B2B marketers
- Small two-person marketing teams
- Sole traders handling their own marketing
- Small business owners without dedicated marketing resources
- Community project leaders needing marketing help
- Anyone working with little to no budget
What you’ll find here: articles on AI search, traditional SEO, social media, video, brand strategy, website management, email marketing, and everyday marketing tactics. Written from the perspective of someone who has had to do all of these things at once, with minimal resources and no paid media budget.
Why this blog exists: most marketing content online is written by marketers at large organisations with specialist teams and budgets. That advice doesn’t apply when you’re the SEO specialist, designer, content creator, and budget manager all at once. This blog fills that gap with guidance written for full-stack marketers.
What makes this different
- No agency behind this blog
- Written by one person, for people in a similar position
- 9 years building a brand at a 100-person organisation as part of a two-person marketing team
- Minimal budget, no paid media spend
- Focus on what is realistic, what is good enough, and what works
