Simon Farrar Email & Phone Number

I’m a Marketing Manager turned Freelance Marketing Consultant & Copywriter…… who can do the following to help IMPROVE your SME’s marketing…1) Create marketing plans that give you marketing “road maps” to follow.2) Act as your part-time/contract marketing manager.3) Project manage campaigns & other marketing activity.4) Write web pages, ads, emails, blogs, brochures, and product sales sheets. Before becoming a freelancer, I was Marketing Manager for a company with 49 locations across New Zealand. And as a freelancer, I’ve worked for… Auto Repair… Construction… Professional Services… Manufacturing… E-commerce… and Health Supplement Businesses.In addition to this…* I have qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Marketing Association.* I’m a great fan of direct response marketing – measurable marketing all SME owners should use.* I’ve spent the past 6 years working with SME owners, so I “get” the challenges and frustrations you face when it comes to marketing.* I’ve worked in sales as well as marketing. As a result, I understand sales and marketing are, really, just different sides of the same coin. It’s all about getting leads, and then turning those leads into sales and customers.And on top of this, I’m likely to be a good fit for YOU and YOUR business if…• You just want to focus on running your business… and you’re looking for someone to take the day-to-day “doing” of marketing off your hands.• You use… or are open to using… direct response marketing.• You are sometimes confused by all the marketing tools and tactics… and want to know which ones are the right ones for your business.• You are a realist. You know there’s no marketing “magic bullet” … that success depends on getting many things right… and that this can take time.• You have a sense of humour - you take your business seriously, but not yourself.FREE MARKETING HEALTH CHECKTo get a “taste” of what working with me, and Max Marketing, is like… contact me to arrange a Free Marketing Health Check for your business.This Marketing Health Check is a top-line audit of your marketing activity to identify what’s working well… what could be improved... and what could be added to your marketing mix.It includes a free report plus feedback session with recommendations tailored to your business.Alternatively… If you ALREADY have a specific marketing project in mind… Please contact me to arrange a time to discuss this project and complete a project/creative brief.I look forward to speaking with you soon.Best wishes,SIMON
