HOW IT WORKS

Marketing that runs

without you running it.

We step into the business, work out what is getting in the way and give the work clear ownership, senior oversight and the right specialist support.

From fragmented tasks and owner coordination to one joined-up function.

Before

  • - Owner approving, chasing and coordinating marketing themselves
  • - Marketing spread across employees with other jobs
  • - Several agencies and freelancers with no clear owner
  • - Plans exist. Delivery stalls.

After

  • + One team. One accountable relationship.
  • + Marketing running with senior oversight on priorities
  • + Specialists brought in where the work needs them
  • + Owner running the business, not coordinating marketing

The first 30 days.

A short, practical orientation. Not a discovery phase that delays delivery. Priority work moves into market from week one while we establish the operating rhythm.

Week 1

Understand the business

Get across the business priorities, current marketing activity, immediate gaps and anything that is already in motion. Agree what needs to happen first.

Week 2

Establish ownership

Set up workflow, reporting and decision-making. Agree the communication rhythm and what the client needs to approve versus what the team will own.

Week 3-4

Move priority work

Start delivering against the agreed priorities. First pieces in market. Reporting cadence established. The operating model is live.

Who does what.

Senior marketer

Owns direction, priorities and commercial judgement. Sets the plan, runs the relationship and is accountable for the quality of the work.

Marketing coordinator

Drives workflow, production and day-to-day execution. Keeps the schedule moving, manages suppliers and ensures nothing stalls.

Graphic designer

Creates the recurring brand and campaign output. Collateral, digital, social, print and campaign assets that stay on brand.

The Brand Aid

QA, management and escalation support across every engagement. Amy de Groot maintains oversight of the operating model and delivery standard.

Specialists

Paid media, SEO, CRM, web or other depth - brought in where the work requires it, without automatically adding another ongoing retainer.

Client leadership

Sets business priorities and approves the decisions that genuinely need them. Not every execution decision. Just the ones that require commercial judgement from the business.

Not every engagement uses every role. The mix is shaped around what the business actually needs.

What the function can handle.

These are examples of work The Brand Aid manages and executes, not a fixed menu of services. The scope is determined by what the business needs.

Campaigns and launches

Strategy, creative, production and in-market management.

Content and social

Planning, writing, design and scheduling across channels.

Website management

Updates, landing pages and website projects.

Email and CRM

Database management, automation, EDMs and reporting.

Design and collateral

Brand assets, sales materials, catalogues and campaign creative.

Reporting and planning

Marketing plans, performance reporting and supplier management.

One relationship. Clear priorities. Transparent delivery.

Communication is simple by design. One main contact who knows the business and the work. Regular check-ins to review priorities and progress. Transparent reporting on what is happening and what is next.

What you will have

  • - One senior contact for priorities and decisions
  • - A clear and updated marketing plan
  • - Regular check-ins at the agreed cadence
  • - Visibility of what the team is working on

What you will not need to manage

  • - Chasing multiple agencies or freelancers
  • - Coordinating briefs across suppliers
  • - Approving every small execution decision
  • - Managing the day-to-day marketing operations
