FIONA FELLOWS : MARKETING CONSULTANT
Having enjoyed a vibrant and dynamic career across a broad range of
agencies, clients and industry sectors, I enjoy the greater challenge
of effective marketing for the small business.
As partner of a small business I understand the difficulties. Limited marketing funds and resource have to work very hard and objectivity is almost impossible. The small business owner from necessity, often wears ‘many hats’ - marketing may not be an existing skill or a natural strength yet it is critical to the growth and profitability of your business.
I provide straightforward a service which examines existing marketing activity -limited or complex. I objectively examine the position and strength of your brand or service - successful, professional marketing is rarely reliant on large budgets - time is often the key. Much can be achieved and small budgets stretched far, with affordable, carefully planned, strategic activity.
I charge an hourly or daily rate to assist with brand strategy & development, media planning & buying, localised PR, copywriting and concept design. I also provide bespoke marketing training for the small business designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to develop and implement effective, affordable marketing strategies of your own.
If you’d like to know more you can reach me at: fiona@themosaicstudio.demon.co.uk – I’d be delighted to hear from you.
EXPERIENCE
I enjoyed a 12 year career in London advertising agencies, predominantly
as Account Manager - 7 rewarding years with Ogilvy & Mather Focus
before joining Colman RSCG. Alongside extensive account management experience,
I additionally trained in copywriting, media planning and media buying.
I switched to the client side as Marketing Manager of MPC Mobile Phone Centre, a highly successful, national franchised business. I managed and co-ordinated extensive, complex and bespoke marketing initiatives. I then joined E-Pay where I was responsible for the UK launch and roll-out of the new E-Top up service across an enormous multiple store retail base. The role included the management of agencies and suppliers, individual and collaborative press and radio campaigns, trade, local & national press advertising, extensive print activity, point of sale material, PR, launch and event management, media planning, media buying and marketing training.
Since starting my Marketing Consultancy I have also graduated from the University of Essex, (awarded with Merit) a Post-Graduate Certificate in Creative Industries Management . This study examines the trends, initiatives, policies and technologically-evolving environment faced by today’s creative and entrepreneurial businesses as we move increasingly from what was an Information Society to the new ‘Knowledge Economy’.
