Practical Marketing Advice for Business Owners.

Marketing, Properly! is a marketing podcast for business owners, founders and managing directors who want clearer marketing, better decisions and more sustainable business growth.

Hosted by Sean Makin, a Fractional Marketing Director and strategic marketing consultant with more than 25 years of experience, each episode tackles the real marketing questions facing growing businesses.

Questions like:

• Do you actually need a Marketing Director?
• Are you spending too much, or too little, on marketing?
• Is your marketing agency delivering genuine value?
• Why isn’t your marketing generating the right leads?
• Do you need a rebrand, or is the real problem your positioning or strategy?
• Which marketing activities are actually worth investing in?
• How do you build a marketing strategy that supports business growth?

Marketing, Properly! cuts through marketing jargon, fashionable tactics and unnecessary complexity to focus on what actually matters: marketing strategy, brand positioning, lead generation, customer understanding and making better commercial decisions.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in marketing, branding, creative strategy and business growth, Sean looks at marketing from the perspective of the people ultimately responsible for making it work, business owners, founders and senior leaders.

There are no magic formulas, seven-step growth hacks or promises that changing the colour of a button will transform your business by Tuesday afternoon. Instead, you can expect practical marketing advice, straightforward explanations, honest answers and occasionally the difficult questions that need to be asked.

Because good marketing isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things, for the right reasons, and doing them well.
