Hey,
I'm Laura Stead

Laura Stead: Marketing Consultant & Trainer


So, you’ve made it to the ‘About’ section of my website. Love that for you.

I guess you’re either really interested in working with me (whoop whoop) or you’re a cheeky little competitor having a good old nose…good for you, who doesn’t love a bit of competitor research, eh?

Whoever you are, I suppose I best serve up a delicious platter of info. Hold tight. Here we go.

And remember, if you need to know more, just ask. 

“Who are ya,
who are ya?”

I’m a marketing consultant and trainer with extensive experience in strategy development, integrated campaigns, marketing management, training, and mentoring.

What makes you different from other marketers?

My clients work with me because I bring a lot of experience, a solid understanding of business, and a wide range of marketing skills to the table.

It’s also important to find a marketer you ‘click’ with. My clients appreciate my no-nonsense approach and my steely Yorkshire grit!

I also have an epic sense of humour, an infectious personality, and an extensive range of facial expressions that reveal exactly what I’m really thinking.

What is your background in marketing?

Best to check out my LinkedIn for the entire career background.  

Since starting my business in 2017, I’ve focused on sharing my skills and knowledge with others. I’ve delivered hundreds of marketing workshops to thousands of budding entrepreneurs, aspiring marketers, and businesses.

What industries do you serve?

It’s less about the industry and more about the people and purpose.

I work with clients who genuinely care about their team, their customers, and their community.

I’m not a martyr – I just find that constantly banging on about profit and 6-figure marketing success gives me the ick.

What is your experience level?

  • 20+ years experience (I started in 2002)
  • CIM Chartered Marketer since 2007
  • CIM Fellow since 2021
  • CIM Tutor (2021 to 2024)
  • CIM Post-Graduate Diploma in Marketing

How much do you charge?

Each piece of work is bespoke to each client, and you’ll receive a proposal that outlines my fees for the specific services you need.

We’ll discuss and prioritise the deliverables to ensure they fit within your marketing budget.

Do you speak at events?

I’m usually up for that if you’re event looks decent. 

Speaker fees vary. The better the exposure, the smaller the fee. 

Why hire a marketing freelancer?

Hiring a freelance marketer can be a great way to get marketing skills and know-how into your business, without the overhead of a full-time hire with the equivalent experience, qualifications, and knowledge.
