Marketing consultant
Is your marketing producing the results you deserve? As one of the UK’s most experienced marketing consultants, I work with businesses of all sizes, to sharpen strategy, attract the right customers and achieve sustainable growth.

What does a marketing consultant do for you?
Running a business means being pulled in every direction. Marketing often becomes reactive, a social post here, a website tweak there, with no clear strategy to connect it all. An experienced marketing consultant steps in with impartial, fresh eyes: identifying what’s working, what isn’t and exactly where to focus your energy to grow.
- Provides impartial feedback on your current marketing strategy
- Identifies exactly where you are losing potential customers
- Builds brand awareness and attracts the right type of customer
- Reviews, or creates from scratch, your marketing plan
- Advises on website performance and lead generation
- Optimises your promotional mix so your budget works harder
- Gives you the big picture and a clear, prioritised path forward
- Integrates AI tools to give you a competitive edge right now
- Acts as a trusted sounding board and strategic adviser
- Helps you stop wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work
Get the strategy right and everything else falls into place. That is the principle behind every engagement.

Marketing strategy
Most marketing problems are strategy problems in disguise. When a business isn’t attracting enough customers, or is spending on marketing without seeing a return, the root cause is almost always a lack of clear strategic direction.
As your marketing consultant, I will work with you to define exactly who your ideal customer is, what makes you genuinely different, where to focus your marketing investment and how to position your brand for long-term growth. With a sound marketing strategy in place, every other marketing decision becomes clearer and more effective.

Frequently asked questions
What does a marketing consultant do?
A marketing consultant provides impartial, strategic guidance on how to improve your marketing, reviewing your current strategy and plans, identifying gaps and opportunities and advising on your website, promotional mix, messaging and budget. The key distinction is objectivity: unlike an internal team, a consultant has no bias and no agenda beyond improving your results.
How quickly will I see results?
Some quick wins, in website performance or a specific promotional channel, can show results within weeks. Building a robust, sustainable marketing strategy typically delivers compounding results over 3–12 months. Realistic timelines are always discussed upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
What size of business do you work with?
Nigel Temple works with startups, small and medium-sized businesses, charities, professional services firms and multinationals. Every engagement is tailored to your budget, sector and growth objectives, whether you are just getting started or scaling an established business.
What is the difference between a marketing consultant and a marketing agency?
A marketing consultant provides independent, strategic advice with no commercial interest in expanding scope or selling additional services. A marketing agency typically executes campaigns and may have an incentive to grow the engagement. As an independent consultant, Nigel Temple’s only goal is to improve your marketing results. Many clients use consultancy alongside an agency, with the consultant providing the strategic oversight.
Do you include AI marketing strategy in your consultancy?
Yes, AI is now central to competitive marketing and it is integrated into all consultancy work. This includes helping businesses use tools like Claude and ChatGPT for content ideas, customer research, campaign planning and lead generation. Nigel also runs dedicated AI marketing training workshops and AEO training (Answer Engine Optimisation, getting AI systems to recommend and mention your business).
