“Gill has become a valuable resource to Shine and pretty much part of the furniture.
Her knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to every project we undertake together is worth all the expensive bubbly money can buy! What I don't know, she does . . . and much, much more.”
Samantha Kipping – Managing Director, Shine Creative
Freelance Marketing Services
I set up Contract Marketing in 2002 after realising that there was a ‘gap in the market’ for a company that provides marketing support for smaller businesses that do not have their own in house marketing resources, or for larger businesses that require additional support from time to time.
Background
My client-side experience prior to going freelance was in the IT and Telecoms sector, where I worked for Lucent Technologies and later Avaya, as head of channel marketing for the UK and Ireland.
Since then I have gained a wide range of experience in many other sectors and have worked for clients in industries as diverse as retail, software development, construction, property, travel and leisure, education, public sector and not-for-profit. I do of course continue to support a wide range of clients in the IT and Telecoms sectors as well.
Benefits of using a freelancer
As a freelancer, I can provide all of the skills and expertise that you would expect from a full time marketing manager or marketing director, but at a fraction of the cost – as you only pay for my services when you need them.
I am happy to work with you on a one off campaigns, such as the development of a new company brochure or the writing and project management of a new website. Alternatively I can sit down with you and look at your marketing requirements as a whole, helping you to develop a marketing plan and then carrying out those activities - which could include anything from database development and email marketing campaigns, right through to writing case studies, updating your company literature or even running an event.
Copywriting
I am also an experienced copywriter, which means that I can assist you with the development of content for marketing materials, websites and so on. This provides an advantage over having to find a separate copywriting resource and bring them up to speed on your business before they can begin to create the marketing messages you need.

THE CM SOAPBOX
Us copywriters are all the same when it comes to spotting an error a mile off! My biggest bugbear is ‘Hope your well’.
Hope my well is what?? Never a good opening to an email - when of course what you really mean is ‘Hope you’re (you are) well’ . . .
CLIENT COMMENT
Much of my business comes from recommendation and I think that this is an excellent way to determine whether a freelancer is the right one for you.
A range of comments can be found on my Client Comment page - and if you would like to find out more about my services from any of my clients, I am always happy to arrange for you to speak to one or more of them!
