What sets us aside
Welcome to the Prestbury Marketing & Consulting website. We specialise in helping businesses and organisations improve the effectiveness of their marketing and PR. If you think we might be able to help you then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Prestbury Marketing was established in March 2010. We recognised that lots of businesses have a need for additional Marketing and PR resources or skills, but don’t necessarily have the budgets to stretch far enough to recruit the resource they need. We offer a wide range of Marketing and PR services, for some of our clients we are their only resource, for others we top up their existing resource or provide a skill set they do not currently have.
What sets our consultancy aside from others is our total focus on practical solutions that deliver an excellent return on investment. Unlike some other agencies, Prestbury Marketing is not biased towards any particular media or service. This means that in each and every instance, recommendations will be designed around your needs and not what an agency has to offer. Prestbury Marketing & Consulting can be hired by the hour or by the day either to complement your existing marketing resource or to give you access to over 30 years’ Marketing and PR experience. We work with everything from start up businesses to some of Gloucestershire’s top 150 businesses, we also have clients in the Midlands and London.

“We are delighted with the partnership Prestbury Marketing have forged with us. They offer a rare combination of expertise with a practical approach that reflects the competitive and fast moving trading environment we operate in. The quality of work is excellent and has saved considerable time compared with other agencies I have engaged with in the past. I put this down to their partnership approach, they don’t just detail what is required in a brief, they really understand what we are trying to achieve.
I particularly value their commerciality. While the creative output in the work has been very strong, it has all been done with a view to achieving the right results for us. Many agencies stop at the point of producing a good looking piece of work, Prestbury Marketing want to know that it worked too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jenny and Darren.”
Tim Larden – Managing Director, Ladbrook Insurance
“Prestbury Marketing are results orientated, brilliant marketers who add value across the business. Their measured, tactical approach to marketing and their disciplined, diligent attitude to their work makes them the ultimate professionals. Applying modern marketing techniques and maximising traditional methods to a clearly defined strategy. The benefit to our business is not limited to marketing as their commercial acumen and ability to see the ‘big picture’ means they add value throughout all aspects of the company.”
Gary Jones – Managing Director, Glevum
“From my perspective this is just what we needed: a fresh pair of eyes offering critical but constructive comments. We will be able to use all the information we have gathered to develop a plan of action for taking the site to the next level. The great thing about this type of activity is that we will be able to see what impact it has through the stats etc… as well as by talking to the members and clients on a regular basis.
I think you followed the brief exactly as we had hoped and made what could have been quite an uncomfortable exercise very enjoyable. I am sure that the growth of your client base owes much to your engaging style. I am certain we will be back in touch when we next need a fresh perspective on our activities..”
Leighton Jones, – Head of Corporate Communications, Campden BRI
“Hughes Paddison started to work with Darren in 2010, and from the outset we have been impressed by his knowledge of his subject, and his enthusiasm for the job. He deals with all enquiries in a prompt and pragmatic manner, and has proved willing to go ‘above and beyond’ his brief – for example, by inviting us to events attended by friends and colleagues in the local business community, to broaden our exposure.
We are looking forward to tackling new challenges with him into the longer term future, and view him as an asset to our business.”
Rachel Stewart – Director, Hughes Paddison
“With ambitious growth plans for the business we knew that we needed a fast and significant boost to our Marketing and PR capabilities. Prestbury Marketing were able to provide us with a complete outsourced Marketing and PR resource. What they have achieved has exceeded our expectations. They are always there when we need them and have responded to and turned around some very tight timescales. They have given us an approach and plan that we didn’t have before and their enthusiasm, knowledge and pro-activity is always evident. We would highly recommend Prestbury Marketing and look forward to them helping to take Green World Innovations to the next level, both here in the UK and in Europe.”
Martin Booth – Sales Director, Green World Innovations ltd
“We first came across Prestbury Marketing when we started to use them on aspects of our Marketing. It quickly became apparent to us that they would be a great asset to our clients as well and that they had the potential to significantly accelerate their growth. We set Prestbury Marketing the challenge of coming up with a solution that we could offer to our clients. The result is the jointly branded Simplicity and Prestbury Marketing Service for Recruitment Agencies. We have had some great feedback from our clients that this was just the service they were looking for. We are also seeing very practical examples where the service is helping our clients grow their business faster and avoid pitfalls that they would have otherwise fallen into. We are excited by the potential of this service and look forward to developing it further in the future.”
Jonathan Viney – Customer Service Director, Simplicity
“Darren’s understanding of business and his eye for recommending an opportunity that sometimes already exists within an organisation is a tremendous asset. His attention to detail doesn’t get in the way when it comes to his ability to get speedily to the issues that really matter.
Whilst I am sure Darren has and does work for a large companies, the attraction for the smaller business is having its own (drip feed) sales & marketing department that is “on call” when you need it, without the permanent overhead and at a level of seniority and experience that would otherwise be out of reach. I would sincerely recommend Darren to any business as I am sure any business would benefit.”
