YES, I WANT THIS

1:1 Private Coaching

Benefit from over 25+ years of experience, guidance and expertise from a qualified marketing professional - without the cost of employing a new member to your full-time team!

Accountability

Being held accountable for your own goals and commitments provide clear focus, minimise unwanted distractions, and ensure that you and your business are learning, growing and evolving!

New Perspective

See your business from a fresh, new perspective - tailor your content, using the most appropriate channels to your target audience – positioning your brand at the forefront of your audience’s mind!

Growing a business is not easy and can also be extremely lonely sometimes...

You know your business and your industry better than any coach or mentor, but sometimes you can find yourself too close to a service or product to really understand both its advantages and its challenges.

Bringing a coach onboard to help, support and mentor you with your strategic marketing and business growth plans, allows you to benefit from all their experience, guidance and expertise, without bringing a new member onto your full-time team.

For many of my clients, what they need is not help with determining which direction their business needs to go in, but rather help with what strategies and processes to fix in place to enable growth, to allow them to reach the right audience, and to help them engage and sell to that audience.

YES, I WANT THIS

About

Simon Clayton

I'm a professionally qualified marketing and leadership coach and educational specialist with a proven track record in training and mentoring business leaders, entrepreneurs and in-house management teams.

During my 25+ year career I've owned, managed and built businesses, as well as provided leadership and strategic change management to a diverse range of public, private and third sector organisations.

In 2014, I launched Marketing Skills Academy, providing a range of results-driven training workshops, coaching programs and mentoring services. 

I'm also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (FCIM), published author, lecturer and enterprise mentor at Teesside University International Business School.

Why choose ME as your marketing coach?

Experience

With experience comes knowledge, and a keen eye for the things which will work – and those that won’t!

With over 25+ years’ experience of planning, implementing and managing strategic brand marketing and sales campaigns, I've learnt a great deal. I consider my expertise to lie in the specifics of business growth and successful marketing planning – helping you to identify your target customer and reach them effectively.

Accountability

Being held accountable for your own goals and commitments will eradicate the time spent on unproductive behaviour and distracting activities!

My coaching is a two-way process, which involves exploration and enlightenment – applying both our business experience and skill sets, guided by me, to help you set direction and determine priorities. During each session you will be set action tasks with clear targets. Progress will then be discussed during following sessions.

New Perspective

One of the biggest challenges of managing and owning a business, is knowing when to rely on a fresh set of eyes and ears!

Partnering with me as your dedicated marketing coach, will provide that third party perspective your business needs. I will help you see your product or service from the point of view of your audience, and tailor your content, using the most appropriate channels to your target audience – positioning your brand at the forefront of your audience’s mind.

Direction

A strategic plan needs thought and direction, as goals alone will not get you to your desired destination! 

My coaching program will establish where you are now and what is needed to drive further business growth. With my guidance and resources, we will work together to create your marketing and sales masterplan. And, as your accountability partner, I will ensure that you are learning, growing and evolving too!

Mentoring

Having someone who can help process a circumstance or feeling in a thoughtful way!

Through my coaching I also aim to build personal confidence by focusing on your positive achievements, enhancing your individual strengths, unlocking potential and encouraging a positive mindset. Making progress and feeling confident that you are on the right path can be transformational for you and your business!
