Frances Day (Marketing Doctor)

 With over 25 years experience in marketing there isn't much I don't know about finding customers, and most importantly doing it in a cost effective and efficient way. 

I believe in results. Because without results you wouldn't employ me or recommend me to others. I like to really get to know my clients. So I offer a marketing health check at our initial meeting so that i can really understand where you are with your promotional activity. 

All businesses do some level of marketing activity and its up to me to help you become smarter with the precious time and resources that you have. 

Most importantly - I GUARANTEE RESULTS!

So if we don't hit our targets I'll refund your investment, but I've never had to do that yet because i know you'll be completely happy with the results. 

Why not get in touch? Its worth a cuppa and a chat isn't it?

I was brought up in South Africa so have a slightly different outlook on life, mainly involving BBQ,s swimming and beaches and let me tell you it was a right old shock to the system returning to Blightly in cold November when my mum bought me an anorak as my birthday present as we boarded the docks in Southampton.

But time rolled on and as an adult I left school at 16 and did lots of admin and customer service roles. I decided to take up marketing whilst running a double glazing business with my dad.

If you can sell double glazing you can sell anything can't you?

I decided to get some proper qualifications so I went to Calderdale College 2 nights a week for 6 years ( one year doing a management course and 5 years studying marketing and working my way through the levels). Its probably the tougest thing I've ever done, but they say that nothing worth doing is easy don't they? 

I bought myself a brand new Mini Cooper, when I became qualified as a Chartered Marketer!

I then worked at the Halifax Bank at their head office for a while and learnt everything there is to know about copywriting, proof reading and print buying ( I can do it in my sleep). 

And then found my dream job as Marketing Manager at Leeds College of Art where I stayed for 5 years. Being creative, I loved working with the students and staff. Although all those creative souls were slightly challenging at times!

But I love a challenge (one of my favourite sayings is, "Its more fun going through the rapids than standing on the riverbank) and there were only so many prospectuses and End of Year Shows I could organise before I needed to join the salmon swim up stream. 

At the age of 45 I decided to start my own business, because I didn't want to get to 50 and look back and regret not having tried. So I've decided to pull all this knowledge together and share it with my clients. 

I have a broad skill set which covers just about every area including retail, finance, charity, creative industries (particularly print ) and public sector. 

I love what I do and now wake up every day with a Chartered spring in my step!
