Why Your Small Business Needs a Freelance Marketing Manager
Running a small business is no small feat. From product development to customer service, your to-do list is endless. And then there’s marketing—a mysterious mix of creativity, strategy, and analytics that’s vital to growth but often feels like another full-time job. That’s where I come in.
As a seasoned Digital Marketing Specialist, I’m here to lighten your load, grow your brand, and transform your marketing chaos into a well-oiled, revenue-driving machine. I’ve worked with powerhouse brands like RAC PLC and Porsche, and I’ve also rolled up my sleeves for small businesses just like yours. Whether you’re navigating Shopify, need help boosting your SEO, or want email campaigns that actually convert, I’m your go-to expert.
Let me show you why hiring me as your freelance marketing manager is the best decision your business will make this year.
Who Am I? (Hint: Not Your Average Marketer)
I’m Steph Briggs, a Digital Marketing Specialist with a proven track record of skyrocketing sales and building unforgettable brands. Over 20 years, I’ve worn many hats: sales manager, business owner, marketing consultant, and even award-winning interior shop Director.
But my superpower? Helping small businesses punch above their weight.
From launching high-street stores into full-fledged eCommerce empires to crafting SEO-friendly copy that gets Google’s attention, I know how to turn big ideas into profitable results.
Brands I’ve Worked With
You’re probably wondering, “What’s your pedigree?” Here’s a sneak peek:
- RAC PLC: Where I sharpened my business development skills, building B2B partnerships that delivered real value and was first promoted to “Marketing Manager”.
- Porsche: Because who wouldn’t want to learn luxury marketing from one of the world’s most iconic brands?
- La Di Da Interiors: My very own small business turned award-winning eCommerce powerhouse. I grew its turnover by a staggering 400% and built a loyal customer base with a 5-star service rating.
Why I’m Perfect for Your Small Business
Let’s face it: hiring a full-time marketing manager isn’t always feasible for small businesses. That’s where my freelance services come in, offering all the expertise without the overheads. Here’s what I bring to the table:
Shopify Savvy
Shopify is my playground. From designing your store to optimising it for conversions, I’ll ensure your eCommerce site isn’t just a pretty face—it’s a sales machine.
SEO Expertise
Think of SEO as the unsung hero of digital marketing. I craft search-engine-friendly content that brings your business out of hiding and into the limelight, driving organic traffic like a boss.
Social Media Magic
Need social media content that stops thumbs mid-scroll? I’ve grown engaged Instagram followings to over 4,000 and Facebook communities to over 10,000. With me, your socials won’t just exist—they’ll thrive.
Email Marketing That Converts
I don’t just write emails; I write emails that sell. With tools like Klaviyo and Omnisend in my arsenal, I’ll create campaigns that your customers can’t wait to open.
Budget-Friendly Brilliance
Not every small business has the budget of a corporate giant—and that’s okay. I’m a pro at making marketing magic happen on a shoestring budget.
How I Deliver Results
Real Talk: It’s Not Just About Numbers
