Experienced hands. Genuine range. A straightforward way of working.
Vigorous Marketing is me, working independently, backed by more than 25 years of design and marketing experience and over 30 years connected to professional print.
That combination is unusual, and it matters. Plenty of agencies do lovely screen work but come unstuck at the printers. Plenty of print outfits have never built a fast, modern website. I'm comfortable across both — which means your brand holds together whether someone meets it on a phone or picks up a brochure.
I'm deliberately hands-on, because there's no one else here to hand things to. When you work with me, you deal directly with the person doing the work — not an account manager relaying messages to a team elsewhere. That keeps things clear, quick and honest, and it means the detail gets the attention it deserves.
I think commercially as well as creatively. Good design is a means to an end: more enquiries, more sales, a stronger reputation. I keep that in mind at every stage, and I'll tell you plainly when something isn't worth doing.
Above all, I'm after long-term relationships. The best work happens when someone really understands a business — so my aim is simply to become the creative partner you keep coming back to.
Where it's genuinely useful, I also work with AI as part of the process — never as a substitute for judgement. Read my approach
Commercial as well as creative
Design that looks good but doesn't sell is just decoration. I keep the point of the work — enquiries, sales, reputation — firmly in view.
Digital and physical fluency
From a homepage to a printed sign, understanding both worlds means work that's coherent everywhere your customers meet your brand.
Direct and straightforward
You work with the person doing the work. Clear communication, no jargon, no runaround — and honesty about what's worth doing.
A partner, not a supplier
The aim isn't a single transaction. It's to become the trusted creative partner you come back to as your business grows.
To be the person a business trusts with the way it looks, sounds and sells — across every touchpoint, for the long term.
Not the biggest, not the loudest. Just genuinely good, genuinely useful, and easy to work with.
