👉 Let’s talk about your growth challenges

Where growth often gets stuck

The challenge many SMEs face

Many SMEs don’t struggle because they lack effort or ideas.

 

They struggle because:

 

  • it’s not clear who they should be targeting 
  • what they’re saying doesn’t land 
  • activity lacks focus 

 

The result is familiar:
Marketing is happening - but no one is confident it’s actually driving growth. 


Which leads to:

wasted spend, inconsistent leads, and marketing that’s hard to justify.



How I help

I work with B2B SMEs to bring clarity and direction to their marketing - so it drives sales, not just activity.


Support typically takes one of two forms:

 

1. Marketing Consultant

For businesses who need clarity before execution.


Through a structured approach, we define:

  • who to target 
  • what to say 
  • what to prioritise 


So your marketing is focused, aligned, and built to deliver results.


 

2. Fractional Marketing Director / Lead

For businesses that need senior marketing leadership without a full-time hire.


I embed into your business to:

  • set direction 
  • align sales and marketing 
  • and lead delivery 


Turning marketing into a consistent, commercially accountable function.

Case study: Marketing capability in B2B manufacturing

Supporting Reiser UK in building marketing capability and commercial clarity

Background

Reiser UK operates within the food processing and packaging machinery sector, supporting manufacturers across multiple categories including meat, bakery and cheese production.


The business sought experienced marketing leadership to bring greater structure, consistency and visibility to marketing activity.


I engaged as a fractional marketing lead to support this transition.

Approach

Working alongside leadership and commercial teams, I introduced structure and direction across marketing activity, including messaging alignment, exhibition planning, trade media presence and digital development.


The focus was on building capability and establishing marketing as a coordinated commercial function.

Outcome

The engagement supported a shift from fragmented activity toward a more structured and intentional marketing approach, improving internal alignment, market visibility and leadership confidence in marketing’s role in growth.

Client perspective

 

"Paul supported Reiser UK as a fractional marketing lead for 17 months, bringing clarity, structure and direction during a period without senior marketing leadership.


He strengthened our approach across brand, exhibitions, trade media and digital - helping modernise marketing and, crucially, reposition it as a commercial growth lever aligned with sales and long-term growth".


Ed Hewitt, Sales Director, Reiser UK
