Years Experience

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie in the past, both as a colleague at IHG and as a freelance collaborator. Sophie has extensive experience in developing marketing strategies that utilise multiple channels. She would be an excellent addition to any team, as she has a clear analytical and strategic vision. Not only does she have the ability to define long-term marketing plans, but she also has clear dynamics and results monitoring processes. She is a great professional who takes on each project with great passion, enthusiasm and determination. Apart from being professional, she is also a nice person – very positive and someone you can rely on. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any type of company that needs an external collaboration that can give strong input and change marketing strategies.
“When I met Sophie, my business marketing for Vision & Courage Coaching was very limited. She worked with me on logo design, branding, website development, social media content, blog writing, newsletter distribution, marketing strategy, and networking. Sophie also connected me with other marketing professionals to ensure the highest quality of design.
With her excellent organisational skills, Sophie set up systems to promote accountability and consistency. Thanks to her support, I now have a fantastic website, a LinkedIn presence, a growing mailing list, and valuable collaboration opportunities to promote my coaching business.
Having worked with Sophie and experienced her structured marketing approach, I am confident in my ability to continue creating social media posts, blogs, newsletters, and more. I highly recommend working with Sophie and RIMU Marketing.”
“We have worked with Sophie for the past year, wanting to grow the core business after many years of only dipping our toe into Marketing. From the start, Sophie identified areas of quick wins and then put structures in place to raise our profile. The turnover has risen correspondingly and has given us a platform to move the business in a whole new direction. Since working with Sophie, I have learnt so much about marketing basics but, more importantly, it has been an absolute pleasure.”
“Sophie has been a fantastic resource for the charity. In any busy environment it is really useful to have another pair of hands to pick up some of the slack or offer an outsider’s perspective on marketing activities. Last year Sophie added real value to our marketing strategy and our communications plans. I look forward to working with her again this year on a number of other projects including product launches and revising our brand guidelines.”
“I worked closely with Sophie – initially for a marketing appraisal of my business and then in a coaching capacity with a marketing focus, over nine months. What we achieved in that time has transformed how we communicate with our prospective and existing clients by adding in a recall and retention strategy and focusing our social media and email marketing activities. Sophie is so completely invested in doing her best for her clients, she really works hard for you and champions what you do. She is invested in seeing you succeed and has so much knowledge and valuable perspectives for every goal and challenge. She is SO organised, develops the best in you, and supports you at times of difficulty. I loved working with her, highly recommend her skill, and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Fantastic to work with Sophie – really appreciate and value her marketing expertise, advice and support. She helped devise a clear strategy for the NGO I run, with a concrete action plan. She asked very pertinent questions, helping me to clearly see what our priorities should be.
Thank you Sophie for your input and brilliance.”
I have worked with Sophie for 2 years and fully enjoyed every moment. Not only has she help me boost my business but she has given me the confidence I needed to trust that I was offering a great service that is worth paying for. I can fully recommend Rimu Marketing.
Whilst we can support all small businesses, we specialise in working with those from the travel, leisure and tourism sectors. We work collaboratively with our clients, so whether you are a start-up looking for direction or an established business wanting to scale we have a marketing solution to suit your size, goals and budget. We work collaboratively with our clients to achieve the best results.
We work across all different marketing projects, covering everything from strategic marketing consultancy through to campaign implementation, branding and website design. Services can be a one-off project or ongoing support, depending on your needs.
Many small business owners lack the time or expertise to manage marketing themselves. We offer a collaborative outsourced marketing service where we execute your plan, manage campaigns and keep everything running smoothly. Alternatively, we are happy to offer training to help you to become more time efficient if you would prefer to deliver your marketing yourself.
Our workshops and masterclasses are designed to upskill small business owners and teams, covering topics like marketing strategy, email marketing, content planning and social media marketing.
We offer transparent pricing with clear deliverables. You can choose from project-based fees, monthly retainers, or one-off strategy packages. All work is scoped out and agreed upfront so there are no surprises. We specialise in practical, achievable marketing for small businesses. We focus on high-impact, low-waste activity that delivers results without requiring large budgets.
Yes. If you need clarity, direction or expert input without a long-term commitment, you can book a one-off marketing strategy immersion session. We also offer content planning and email marketing strategy sessions which will focus on one particular area of marketing.
Results will vary depending on your business, what you wish to achieve and what budget you have available to invest. Typically clients will see improvements in brand awareness, visibility, customer engagement, lead generation and overall marketing consistency. We set clear objectives and track performance, so we always know what’s working.
Some tactics deliver quick wins, for example, improving your website messaging, setting up your email marketing channel or running a social media campaign. Other activities, like SEO, PR, brand advertising and content marketing, build over time.
We combine big-picture strategy with hands-on support, focused specifically on the needs of small business owners. Our approach is practical, collaborative and built around clear communication, transparency and measurable impact.
Absolutely. We have a trusted team of awesome marketing Associates that can help with your project or we can work collaboratively with your chosen supplier, in-house team, designers or website developers to ensure everything aligns with your strategy.
We start with a free, no-obligation discovery call, which is an opportunity for us to meet and start to understand the marketing challenges you face. We can then make recommendations as to the best way to move forward. Click HERE to make an appointment.
