Our 'Brand in a Nutshell' series of courses get you off to a flying start

We offer a variety of courses from online modules to 'in person' half days covering a number of different areas from brand fundamentals, customer communication, and employee engagement to general marketing and social media. The courses coming up in our calendar are listed in the 'What's coming up' section below. If you'd like a course you don't see listed, just get in touch and we'll put one together.

VIRTUAL MARKETING DIRECTOR

Access senior level strategic support when you need it.  

Sharing a Marketing Director with other businesses makes sense for some companies. We provide senior level marketing support when you need it . Usually this is on a regularly basis with designated time per week or month. The support is built around your needs and your budget. It is cost effective, flexible and  we operating very much as an extension of your team.

 

We also help less experienced teams develop the insight and skills they need to be successful marketeers, and to work successfully as a team. We provide group sessions, one to one training, mentoring, recruitment advice and provide senior level support to in-house teams whilst they develop.

STRATEGIC CONSULTANCY

Tailored business, brand and marketing support

We work with established businesses and start-ups to understand their competitive positioning, define their brand proposition and segment their audiences in order to drive growth.  With more than 25 year’s experience in brand and marketing, we work intuitively, leveraging the knowledge of your team to get to answers more quickly and cost effectively. We are great at engaging and galvanising teams. We work on smaller one-off challenges as well as larger growth strategy briefs. From defining your audience and the messaging that will resonate with them to the channels to use for communication to ensure engagement and conversion, we provide the tools you need take your business to the next level.

ROBIN KADRNKA & KEATA MURRAY

With decades of experience between us, we are business, brand and marketing consultants who have worked with some of the biggest, and some of the smallest businesses throughout the UK and around the world, helping them to maximise their business potential.
We developed our Brand in a Nutshell courses to make our experience, and the benefits of focused brand thinking and marketing strategy, accessible to a broad audience.
We believe that smaller businesses are the backbone of our economy and when they thrive, everyone does.
Its not rocket science, but experience helps and thousands of hours with hundreds of clients has taught us some useful lessons.
You are the experts of your business and we're experts in ours - together we can make a powerful team.

House of Fraser

"I first met Robin and Keata when I took part in the Great Retail Revival's 'POP@ Hof' competition which gave smaller businesses the chance to be stocked in House of Fraser's premium Oxford Street Flagship. Keata and Robin were mentors for the candidates and I found them very knowledgable, supportive and encouraging. They definitely helped to kickstart me thinking about my business in a much larger scale way."
