you know growth is possible but you need a stategic plan to make it happen.

I know you didn’t start your business to become a full-time marketer. But without a clear strategy, it’s easy to end up busy without actually growing.

That’s where I come in.

I take the sharp, results-driven thinking I built over 12 years in big-brand marketing and apply it to small, founder-led businesses like yours. Translating complexity into clear, confident action without the overwhelm.

Just a focused strategy that gives you clarity, structure, and a plan to scale on purpose — not by accident.

what do I actually do then?

I help you stop spinning your wheels and start moving with purpose.

Because a great product isn’t enough. The businesses that grow — and keep growing — are the ones that truly understand their customers, speak to the right problems, and position themselves as the obvious choice.

That’s what strategic marketing does. It’s the foundation of sustainable growth.

But too many founder-led brands fall into the same trap: they lead with the product, delay the strategy, and hope that if it’s good enough, people will find it.

In today’s market? That’s a gamble you can’t afford.

Here’s where so many businesses get stuck:

  1. The brand story’s missing, so customers don’t understand why they should care

  2. The positioning’s unclear, so they blend in instead of standing out

  3. The messaging lists features, not benefits, so it doesn’t land

  4. They try to speak to everyone — and end up connecting with no one

  5. Marketing becomes a checklist, not a strategy

About Lydia

After 12 years working in some of the UK’s top marketing agencies — bringing big-budget campaigns to life for household names — I started my own product-based business.

Suddenly I was the founder, the marketer, the product developer, the finance department… I knew what great marketing looked like, but I also saw how unhelpful most of the advice out there was for small business owners.

So I built The New Marketer — a consultancy that brings clarity, strategy and structure to brands at the start of something big.
