Businesses and organisations often shy away from marketing technology, assuming it requires enterprise-level budgets and a team of technical experts. Let's untangle this myth! The democratisation of marketing technology has made powerful tools available at every price point – including free and low-cost options specifically designed for smaller organisations. With the right approach, even modest teams can leverage automation, AI, and data analytics to amplify their impact. Think of marketing technology like kitchen appliances. You don't need the industrial-grade equipment used by Michelin-star restaurants to cook a delicious meal! A thoughtfully chosen set of reliable tools that match your specific needs can help you create marketing that nourishes your community without consuming all your resources in the process. For purpose-led organisations looking to make tech work for them: 🟣 Start by identifying specific processes that drain your time but could be automated 🟣 Explore purpose-built solutions with nonprofit pricing (many offer substantial discounts) 🟣 Consider AI tools that can help with content creation and optimisation 🟣 Focus on solving one challenge brilliantly rather than implementing everything at once Marketing tech doesn’t have to be complex or costly! Message us to find the right tools for your needs, without the overwhelm. #MondayMyths #MythBusters #BreakTheMyth

What does it really mean to be a purpose-led business? It’s more than just having a mission statement, it’s about embedding purpose into everything you do, from strategy to culture to customer engagement. Businesses that prioritise purpose don’t just survive; they thrive. They build stronger connections, drive long-term growth, and make a real impact. But how do you define and implement a purpose that’s authentic and actionable? Find out in our latest article: https://buff.ly/fyTEBvA #PurposeLedBusiness #ImpactDriven #SustainableGrowth

Quick Tip! Choose Your Google Business Categories Strategically Did you know your Google Business Profile categories do much more than just label your business? They're actually powerful search magnets that help the right clients find you. When setting up your profile, don't just select the first category that seems to fit. Take a moment to choose primary and secondary categories that reflect both WHAT you do and WHY you do it. For example, instead of just selecting "Marketing Consultant," consider adding secondary categories like "Business Consultant" or "Professional Training" if they align with your broader services. The right category combination ensures you appear in more relevant searches and attract clients who are looking for exactly what you offer. This small tweak can significantly expand your digital visibility without any additional marketing spend. Have you revisited your Google Business categories lately? It might be time for a quick review to ensure they're working as hard as possible for your business. Need help? Drop us a message! #MarketingTips #GoogleBusiness #DigitalVisibility #WisdomWednesday

Let's talk about one of the most persistent myths in purpose-led marketing - that social media is a "free" channel that magically delivers results without investment. While creating accounts might cost nothing, effective social media marketing requires a significant investment of time, skill, and (increasingly) money. Organic reach has declined dramatically across platforms, and the "post and hope" approach rarely delivers meaningful impact. Think of social media like community gardening rather than broadcasting. You wouldn't show up at a community garden, throw seeds everywhere without planning, never water them, and expect a bountiful harvest! The most successful purpose-led social media requires cultivation, care, and occasionally some plant food (yes, that's our subtle metaphor for paid promotion). For purpose-led organisations looking to make social media truly work: 🟣 Focus on quality over quantity – better to excel on one platform than be mediocre on five 🟣 Set clear objectives beyond vanity metrics (what actual outcomes are you seeking?) 🟣 Budget for some paid promotion to amplify your most important content 🟣 Use social listening to understand what your community actually cares about Want to grow your impact?

More and more consumers expect brands to stand for something; impact-first Marketing ensures your strategy goes beyond selling; it creates real change. From storytelling that resonates to campaigns that drive meaningful action, purpose-led marketing isn’t just good ethics; it’s smart business. Ready to shift your approach? Discover how to put impact at the heart of your marketing strategy. Read more: https://buff.ly/XWoN4X3 #ImpactFirstMarketing #PurposeDriven #MarketingForGood

It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week A timely reminder that different brains bring different brilliance in marketing — and in any industry, really — there’s no one-size-fits-all for what makes someone valuable. Some thrive in the spotlight, weaving magic through storytelling and creative flair. Others find their groove in the quieter corners — buried in spreadsheets, uncovering insights, spotting patterns, making sense of the data that drives strategy. We need all of it. Neurodiversity reminds us that thinking differently isn’t a barrier - it’s a strength. When we build teams that welcome diverse minds, we create space for innovation, empathy, and resilience. There are roles and pathways that lean into everyone’s strengths, not just the loudest ones. Let’s keep building workplaces where everyone is free to be themselves — and celebrated for what they bring. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #Marketing #TeamStrengths #DifferentBrainsDifferentBrilliance #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #ThisIsND

Taxes fund the public services we all rely on from schools to healthcare and infrastructure. Businesses that pay their fair share aren’t just following the rules; they’re showing a commitment to fairness, trust, and long-term sustainability. Fair tax isn’t just good ethics, it’s good business. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight

Reviews and social media shape reputations instantly, businesses that listen, learn, and act on customer feedback stand out. Outstanding service isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about building relationships. When customers feel valued, they come back, and they bring others with them. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight #CustomerCare #CustomerFeedback @goodbusinesscharter

Millions of people around the world, including in the UK, face exploitative working conditions, from child labour to modern slavery. When businesses don’t prioritise ethical sourcing, they risk becoming part of the problem. By choosing suppliers who uphold fair labour standards, businesses can protect vulnerable workers, improve global working conditions, and help create a truly sustainable and ethical supply chain. Doing the right thing isn’t just good ethics—it strengthens trust, reputation, and long-term success. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight @goodbusinesscharter

Late payments put 400,000 small businesses at risk of closure every year (FSB Small Business Index). For many suppliers, especially small and independent ones, delayed invoices mean financial instability, cash flow problems, and even job losses. Timely payments aren’t just an operational detail, they’re a sign of respect and fairness. They strengthen relationships, keep supply chains healthy, and show true corporate social responsibility. A thriving economy depends on businesses supporting each other. Let’s commit to paying on time and making fair business the norm. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight #LatePayments #FairContracts #Debt @goodbusinesscharter

Sustainability isn’t an option, it’s a responsibility. Businesses play a huge role in tackling the climate crisis, from cutting CO₂ emissions to reducing waste and managing resources more sustainably. And with consumers increasingly choosing companies that prioritise the planet, environmental responsibility isn’t just good ethics, it’s smart business. Committing to sustainable practices doesn’t just protect our environment; it builds trust, strengthens reputation, and helps drive the urgent push towards net zero. Every action counts. Let’s make business part of the solution. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight @goodbusinesscharter

Unpredictable shifts, insecure contracts, and low wages create financial stress and make it impossible for people to plan their lives. By offering fair shift scheduling, reliable contracts, and paying the Real Living Wage, businesses create a workforce that’s more motivated, loyal, and productive. Fairness isn’t just the right thing to do—it builds stronger teams and better workplaces. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight @goodbusinesscharter

When people feel empowered to speak up, whether it’s to share ideas, raise concerns, or challenge wrongdoing, businesses become stronger, safer, and more innovative. Issues like workplace harassment highlight why employee voice matters. Without trust in the system, people stay silent, and cultures suffer. That’s why worker representatives, trade unions, employee forums, and open feedback channels aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential. A truly healthy workplace is one where every voice counts, concerns are taken seriously, and action follows words. #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight @goodbusinesscharter

Wellbeing at work isn’t a perk, it’s a necessity. Long hours and relentless pressure don’t drive success; they lead to burnout, absenteeism, and low morale. A healthy workplace is one where people feel supported, not stretched to their limits. Responsible businesses create environments where open conversations about wellbeing are encouraged, without fear of judgment or consequences. When employees thrive, so do businesses. #WellnessWednesday #GoodBusinessMatters #GoodBusinessFortnight @goodbusinesscharter

The Halloween photo shoot with Sherlock went about as well as expected! 🦇 Happy Halloween from the NAMA team 🦇 #Halloween #TheGhostofSherlock #UncooperativeDog #DontWorkwithAnimals

Yesterday I attended the Microsoft AI Tour London, which cut through the hype to deliver practical, actionable pathways for real business transformation. Standout insights: - Process analysis revealing hidden opportunities across departments - Solid focus on governance documentation and security frameworks - Accessibility means organisations of all sizes can innovate meaningfully 💡 Most valuable takeaway? When teams analysed processes for AI suitability, they often uncovered improvement opportunities they weren't even looking for. And yes, an Arctic swimmer relating his talk to AI implementation was brilliant! #MicrosoftAI #DigitalTransformation #AIStrategy #BusinessInnovation #AIinBusiness #NAMA #tabithainthewild #microsoftaitour

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of attending a client team dinner at @brownsbrasserie - Butlers Wharf. The weather behaved, and the London skyline looked stunning! For anyone wondering about the very very large yacht in the video, that is the Kismet. I looked it up, and you can hire it for $3 million a week (plus expenses). It does come with its own submarine, apparently... #londonskyline #yacht #lovelyclients #TabithaInTheWild #SubmarineIncluded

Early start into London today for client meetings. #TabithaInTheWild #fractionalmarketing #MarketingConsultant

It was National Dog Day on Monday; but in my office everyday is a celebration of the absolute chaos and mayhem that Sherlock brings to the office. He still loves to be the centre of attention on networking calls, loves to steal things off desks and no sandwich or snack bar is safe in an unattended laptop bag! I would not change him for the world! #nationaldogday #officedogs #officedogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #irishsetter #redsettersofinstagram #redsetter #marketing #marketingconsulting
