THE MARKETING TEAM YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED (WITHOUT THE OFFICE POLITICS)

The Marketing Dept was born when we noticed too many mid-sized businesses caught in a frustrating marketing limbo - too sophisticated for DIY templates but not quite ready to feed the expensive agency beast.

WHERE DID WE COME FROM?

We started The Marketing Dept after years of watching businesses waste money on:

  1. Fancy agencies that delivered pretty presentations but minimal results

  2. Random freelancers with specialty skills but no strategic vision

  3. Overpriced in-house teams that spent more time in meetings than making progress

  4. Marketing "solutions" that created more problems than they solved

So we built the alternative: a complete marketing department that delivers expertise without the overhead, results without the runaround, and strategies without the BS.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

We're straight-shooters in a jargon-filled world.

We won't tell you that your content needs more "synergy" or that your "brand positioning lacks scalable optimisation potential." We speak human, identify actual problems, and propose solutions that make sense.

We're strategists first, tacticians second.

We won't jump into redesigning your website or creating social posts without first understanding your business goals and customer journey. Marketing without strategy is just expensive noise.

We're right-sized for mid-sized businesses.

Too small and we might be overkill. Too large and you need a dedicated team. We're perfect for businesses that need sophisticated marketing but don't want the cost or complications of building it in-house.

OUR APPROACH: THE NO-NONSENSE MARKETING METHOD

WHO WE WORK WITH

We partner with mid-sized businesses that:

  • Need marketing expertise but don't need (or want) a full in-house team

  • Have outgrown freelancers but aren't ready for big agency relationships

  • Want results more than reports

  • Value strategic thinking and creative execution equally

  • Are ready to invest in marketing that actually works
