A sample of Epitomise customers
The situation
B2B marketing effort is rarely the problem.
Most SME and technology businesses are already doing plenty of marketing. What is missing is a decision: who this is for, what makes it different, and what the business is going to stop doing in order to say that consistently.
Epitomise brings that decision to the surface and then makes it real — the strategy and plan, differentiated value and messaging, demand that converts, launches that land, and the sales channels to carry it.
How we can help
Three ways in, and they combine.
Clients engage Epitomise in three complementary ways, choosing one service or combining them as their needs evolve.
Mentoring, coaching and training
Hands-on support that builds confidence, capability and best-practice ways of working across owners, leaders and teams.

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
