About James Roberts

Who I work with

My clients are owner-managers, managing directors and marketing leads at UK SMEs. Some are building a marketing function for the first time. Others already have a capable team and want an experienced second opinion on where to concentrate their efforts.

They're busy people running good businesses, and they tend to value clear thinking and plain English. My role is to bring an outside perspective, share what I've seen work elsewhere, and make the next decision an easier one.

What I do

• Consultancy and growth strategy. A thorough review of what's working today, followed by a clear, prioritised plan for what to do next. That's the 90 Day Growth Sprint.
• SEO and digital marketing. Search, content, email and lead generation, built around how your customers actually buy. See SEO in Salisbury.
• Practical AI support. Straightforward guidance on where AI genuinely saves time and improves consistency in a smaller business, and where it's better left alone.

How I work

I've spent more than eight years in marketing and growth, both client-side and consulting, with businesses ranging from sole traders to established multi-site operations. That work spans beauty and aesthetics, professional consultancy, storage and logistics, and telecoms, has generated millions in pipeline revenue, and has been recognised with two industry awards.

I'm independent, which means there's no agency retainer to protect and no channel I'm paid to recommend. You get an honest view of what's likely to work for your business.

I'd also rather set realistic expectations than promise quick wins. Strip it back, and the marketing that compounds tends to rest on the same foundations: understanding your best-fit customers, being clear about the value you offer, and staying consistent long enough to see the results.

Where I'm based

Salisbury, Wiltshire. I work with businesses across Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset in person, and across the UK remotely.

If you'd like to see what that looks like in practice, the case studies walk through real projects and what came out of them.
