I Know How To Grow Your Business
You’re the expert in your field, I’m the expert in mine
I’ve been a marketer for more than 30 years, running marketing departments for well-known brands such as John Lewis and Prudential.
I’ve been a Board Director of AIM-listed companies and run my own business since 2015, so I understand what it takes to grow your business and what good marketing looks like.
For the last 10 years, I’ve been helping ambitious business owners scale by delivering marketing that makes a difference.
My clients rely on me to get the job done so they can get on with theirs. I’ve got a kit bag full of tried and tested marketing to guide you to success.
If you’ve got untapped potential in your business and you're ready to grow, I'm here to help you.
“Claire brought great expertise to the role and was respected by all at John Lewis.”
WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH CLAIRE?
I bring big-brand brains to small business realities
I’ve led marketing for John Lewis, but now I use that strategic expertise to help small service-based businesses get clear, grow, and sell confidently. That blend is rare. Most consultants have either experience or empathy with small businesses I’ve got both.
I don’t just deliver a plan - I deliver clarity, confidence and results
Clients aren’t just buying time with me. They’re buying the transformation that comes from:
Finally, having a clear message
Feeling confident to sell without sounding salesy
Knowing their marketing isn’t just ‘busy’ but working
I simplify what feels overwhelming
No fluff, no jargon, no 87-page strategies that gather dust. I turn tangled marketing into a clear roadmap people can actually stick to. That makes me not just a strategist, but a trusted partner.
I care
My testimonials show that clients feel seen, supported, and understood, but also challenged and held accountable. I don’t swoop in with a one-size-fits-all plan, I listen, adapt, and stick around to help make it happen.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
-
How do I focus on the larger clients?
It’s a common problem, we tend to focus on the quick wins. We’ll help you take a step back and look at the customers and clients you REALLY need to boost your business and how best to attract them. We’ll then implement a plan focused on winning these clients.
My marketing isn’t working
Together we will review your marketing, identifying what works and more importantly what doesn’t. I'm brimming with new ideas and bring fresh eyes to your marketing. Your marketing will get a much-needed kickstart, with tried and tested workshops, checklists and plans to get you back on track.
Can you help us find, brief and manage marketing specialists (like web designers)?
Yes, just get in touch! Knowing what questions to ask, what your budget will get you and making sure what is delivered is actually what you need are all things I can take care of for you. Whether it’s just a case of introducing you to other experts or briefing and managing the work for you, I can make sure you get the most from the best people.

I want to grow my business but don't know how to?
That's what I'm here for! Check out my Marketing Strategy package. From our first meeting, we will lift up from the day to day and focus on where you want to get to. I’ll then work with you on a weekly basis to get there, with great marketing.
I want to sell my business, how can I make it more attractive?
You’ll need to maximise the potential of your business, making it attractive to more customers as well as to potential investors. By implementing a marketing strategy, Claire Best Marketing can help with both the image your business portrays as well as increasing the profitability of your customer base.
Our image is outdated and doesn’t reflect where we want to be?
Many businesses have evolved over the last 24 months and their branding doesn’t reflect who they are now. With many rebrands and relaunches under my belt, including with household names such as John Lewis, I will leave you with a branding that truly reflects where you are and where you are taking your business. Take a look at the Rebrand, Refresh and Relaunch service.

“I love working with you. From the outset you were really clear what would be best for me and my business at this point. Your experience and expertise is evident””
WORKING WITH ME
I only work with a handful of clients at a time, making sure they receive the best marketing support and the results they are looking for.
Before I work with anyone, we have a discovery call. That’s my chance to understand more about your business, what you want to achieve, but more importantly, that’s your chance to get to know me, find out if we are the right fit and how we can work together.
