      "Although I had heard of a lot of the marketing "jargon" before, Karen explained it and broke it down into bitesize pieces that didn't feel overwhelming or insurmountable. I now feel more confident in the messages that I am getting across whether that is through social media, or in person. Additionally, Karen supported me in selecting a brand agency - something I had not done before - and the importance of making sure that I had a detailed brief of what I was looking for. This was an absolute game changer for me and something that I have now utilised when selecting other suppliers to work with me. Thank you for everything Karen!"

Sam Heighway
Leadership Coach and Director, Be Business Fit

"She has successfully implemented a new website, initiated Google reviews and Trustpilot with scores of 4.9, and managed social media to boost engagement. Karen secured regular media coverage in Welsh business outlets, produced marketing collateral, spearheaded sponsorships and awards, and established a comprehensive photography library.

"Additionally, she implemented a consistent corporate identity, collaborated with external designers, generated website content, and introduced a CRM system to streamline operations and enhance customer relations.

 "Over 16 months, Karen has significantly elevated brand awareness within our targeted audiences and implemented effective processes and procedures, resulting in a consistent marketing identity."

    "A big thank you to Karen for all the support she gave us when we were setting up our marketing department at Blossom ABA. Working in such a niche area, especially in the UK, it was so helpful to have someone who really took the time to listen and understand what we’re all about.

    Karen helped us structure our projects and think more clearly about our audience. Her ideas and strategies made a real difference, and we’re still feeling the benefits of that work today.

    We’re really grateful for everything Karen helped us build!"

    Raz Nazir
    Director, Consilium Consulting (Cardiff) Limited

    Consilium’s marketing was very limited and we needed someone to review our activity and in particular our LinkedIn profile. We engaged Karen as she came highly recommended from an associate. She took us through some key steps to identify what messages we needed to target our audiences, which was key to ensuring what our communications plan should be.

    "Her thought process on engaging our target audiences and how to attract attention was second to none, and we saw an immediate uplift in our enquiries.”

    Sarah Whale Profit Impact"Karen provided us with ad-hoc strategic marketing advice as well as reviewing and proofreading a copy of an important report for our business. Both pieces of work were valuable to us as a start-up business.

    "I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone that was looking to create a marketing function within their small business."

  • Mike Taylor
    Managing Director, Plastratum Ltd

    “As Plastratum was in its infancy, our marketing was very limited and somewhat ad hoc. Karen came in and provided us with a complete marketing audit and presented back observations and recommendations on what our next steps should be.

    "The results were very insightful as she was able to give us an outside view, and her audit has given us some extremely valuable recommendations with which we can start to build our marketing strategy.”

  • Becky Lythgoe
    Director, Greenstream Flooring CIC

    "Working with Karen has been fantastic. She brings a sense of organisation and calm to our marketing activities.

    "Karen has been fabulous at supporting us to pull together both our marketing strategy and the functions that contribute to it. Undertaking tasks that range from understanding the business and developing key messages, to campaign planning, and content creation.

    "Karen provides a consistent overview and her attention to detail never falters in amongst all this marketing activity."

  • Keith Hayward
    Sales and Marketing Director, Crawford UK Ltd

    "At a time when Marketing was not in place in any substantial form within the Crawford UK organisation, I engaged Karen to scope and plan the function. This led to a full implementation and ultimately to a very successful activity programme that encompassed all necessary elements of the Marketing mix.

    "Zebroid Marketing were fully able to integrate into our business, becoming a key part of the delivery team that drove the company to further success in a difficult market; and her contribution to the strategic direction was invaluable. At implementation phase the work was seamlessly integrated into the ‘day-to-day’; and after a period of full involvement and high activity the handover was professionally handled and delivered.

    "Marketing at this level would not exist in Crawford as it does now without the help and expertise of Zebroid Marketing."

  • Stuart Lindsay
    Director, Acoustic Applications Ltd

    "We had been planning our website for some time but never seemed to get the project started.  Zebroid Marketing came on board, and after working alongside our website developer, wrote the brief for us, forced us to prepare the information and ensured we launched our website on time.  It was exactly what we needed, they ensured, with the right amount of tact and diplomacy that we achieved what we had been trying to do for some time!

    "I have no hesitation in recommending Zebroid Marketing – their motto should be – they get things done."

  • Jonathan Smith
    Group Communications Director, Castleoak
    "Karen undertook an important and highly focused market analysis exercise on our behalf. We found her to be thorough, attentive and conscientious.  She produced a comprehensive and insightful analysis which provided the Board with a platform for informed debate."

    "I cannot recommend the business enough."
