Mentoring, coaching and training
Hands-on support that builds confidence, capability and best-practice ways of working across owners, leaders and teams.
Mentoring & training →Campaign delivery and implementation
Agreed marketing campaigns and execution support delivered within the scope, budgets and approvals we set together.
Campaign delivery →Whichever combination you choose, Epitomise stays practical, flexible and accountable for the quality of its own work.
What clients say
Three clients, in their own words.
Have worked with Epitomise for over six years and very happy with the level of service they provide. Our marketing campaigns are providing more enquiries than we can handle. Luckily, they are always available to help tailor the marketing to suit our budget and month to month requirements.Anton Van Der WattDirector · Digital AV · quoted in 2021
Steve is a pleasure to work with. His extensive knowledge of marketing, and specifically in our sector, is impressive, and his structured and inclusive style worked well in getting us all to focus on what really makes the difference. I’d recommend him to anyone who is looking for real strategic advice and guidance that comes with practical and clear deliverables.Cindy PhillipsHead of Marketing · OGL
Steve and team have worked really hard to understand our aspirations and the people we ‘want to reach out to’. We agreed targets we would see as a success to our business and we have exceeded these to date and within Steve’s original budget forecast.David R MaysDirector · APPtechnology
