MARKETING CONSULTANT REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
Genuine reviews from my previous marketing consultancy clients
As a small business coach, I couldn’t make a mistake in this space. My clients were all watching my progress very closely. Paul completely changed my perception on what could be done from our very first discussion. He was incredibly detailed oriented. Skilled in contemporary marketing strategy. He drove me to new benchmarks.
I thought I was driven and goal oriented until Paul showed me that he had gears I hadn’t seen before. He created a list of tasks and content for me to rip into. He was on me every day to get it done. He guided me on best practice and gave me wonderful suggestions when I hit an impasse. Meanwhile he was rebuilding my website. With a stronger presence for SEO and organic growth. Better content and with a niche in the business coaching market.
The site was lightning fast. Paul wouldn’t rest until the job was done. It was so seamless. Something worth noting is Paul’s huge experience in photography so he has an elite eye for imagery and branding. I couldn’t be any happier and will continue to work with Paul as well as recommending him to my clients. He will not disappoint!”
In fact, he went over and above the work he'd scoped out because he wanted my business to benefit from the insights from his data. He even gave me additional tools that will help me in the future.
I found the work he did incredibly comprehensive and was singularly impressed by his deep understanding of SEO and ability to recommend useful ways for me monetise my websites.
I am now re-engaging Paul to help me further. To be honest, I hardly ever recommend people on Linkedin but given the benefit I've had from Paul's work, I wanted to make others aware of his abilities.
What impressed us was his ability to very quickly grasp lots of technical information and deliver a marketing audit that gave us a framework of practical steps across our sales & marketing teams to improve our results.
12 months on and Paul’s mix of website and seo development has seen the brand enjoy record visitor numbers, our highest ever organic search volumes & a constant flow of quality, Australian leads.
His common sense, data driven approach to marketing has given us results that previous (very costly) agencies failed to deliver.
His work and work ethic are absolutely brilliant. He has a deep and extensive knowledge of marketing and was able to tailor a plan to suit our requirements and achieve our desired goals.
I highly recommend Paul and would gladly work with him again in the future."

FAQs
A few common questions about hiring a marketing consultant
Typically an agency is a company that has lots of staff managing hundreds of different clients at any one time. A marketing consultant will handle a few clients at a time providing a more personal service that is customised to your business. Typically using a marketing consultant is cheaper than using an agency.
Outsourcing marketing is possible in Australia by hiring a marketing consultant or a marketing agency. By outsourcing your marketing you get access to people who are experts in their field rather than trying to do it yourself when your time & skills may not be sufficient. Digital marketing, especially things like SEO should be done by a professional who has the right skills and knowledge.
A marketing consultant can help a small, medium or large business in any industry sector. The benefit of hiring a marketing consultant is their unbias view that is applied to solve any marketing challenge whether it is for a product or service.
Yes, an experienced marketing consultant can complete an SEO Audit of your website. Uniquely, my approach is to look at your SEO but also your brand positioning, competitors & current executions to give you practical, actionable outcomes.
