Chris Lewis Marketing
My skillset and knowledge will improve your marketing, both in the strategic thinking and in your marketing execution, in digital and off-line.
I provide technical competence to marketing, built through the experience of working in marketing with all sizes of businesses and in a variety of sectors.
My objectives are always to advise, support and work with you, delivering better marketing which attracts and engages your customers, and which increases your sales and your profits.
I work ‘on’ your business and not ‘in’ your business. I give you the objective perspective you need to improve what you do.
And you will (hopefully) find you enjoy working with me. I am a friendly, supportive person to work with, and intelligent and sharp with the marketing. After all, that’s why you should hire me.
Don't just take my word for it...

“Chris has been an amazing influence on the Midlands Board, providing a wealth of experience and energy, whilst also being a voice of reason and creating a reputation for ‘getting things done’. His vision and ideas have led to the Midland’s two Webinar Express seminars, both of which received amazing feedback and helped to contribute to the two themes in the Midlands. In his new role as Vice Chair – Events, Chris is working away behind-the-scenes so that the Midlands can develop and grow. I fully appreciate Chris’s efforts and he is undoubtedly a driving force now on the Midlands Board, and did I mention for all his inputs and expertise he is also the CIM Midlands ‘Volunteer of the Year’.”

“We were introduced to Chris through the ‘Be The Business’ Mentoring Scheme. He was identified as a perfect fit for us and so he has proved. It’s not easy working with a SME, particularly when it’s a family business run by two headstrong sisters! But right from the start Chris enabled clarity of thought, focus and direction, having worked hard to understand both our business and our office sector. Through his affable approach and great sense of humour, Chris’ strategic advice and wealth of marketing expertise has proved invaluable as we have sought to redefine our future post-pandemic. Six months in and we are already reaping significant benefits from his business leadership. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Marketing is an investment but it is also a business cost, and what was absolutely crucial to us is that we hired the right person, who got to know us and our business, someone we could trust to give us the right advice in all aspects of our marketing. Chris does this in spades. He is strategically sound and has enhanced our thinking, business direction and performance, and supports us with all our marketing activity; comms, website, social media, e-CRM and so on. We have called him a marketing guru which does embarrass him, but it is close to the truth. His knowledge and expertise is highly recommended.”

“As an e-commerce business, we have enjoyed phenomenal growth over the past few years, and wanted to ensure we continued this trajectory. Chris is first class in his digital expertise, working on our longer-term digital strategy alongside making excellent recommendations in what we do on Amazon, in paid search, SEO, website development and more. Chris has a fantastic instinct for and knowledge of digital, and his advice and support is invaluable in taking our business to the next level. I would also add he always responds with enthusiasm, is keen to crack on with everything we throw at him, and we also value the fact he is straight talking and if he disagrees with something, he says so. And finally, Chris is great at ensuring we get an element of ongoing support, which ensures our business is continually responsive to our ever-changing marketplace.”

How I can help
I support you in a number of ways, & specialise in marketing strategy, digital, innovation, training and mentoring.
In fact, with my marketing experience and in working with businesses of different sizes and sectors, there’s not a lot I can’t help with!
Where I get too busy or need some extra thinking, I partner with a small number of trusted marketing associates to support my work.
But you always get me, that’s why it’s called Chris Lewis Marketing!
Marketing Strategy
Insightful thinking about your customers, your competitors and your business helps shape a framework and a direction for your marketing activity. It is objective and intelligent work, which will challenge and improve your business performance.
Digital Strategy
With the potential to drive your business (and at the same time drain your resources!), it’s super important to work out where you play across digital channels, what you invest and how you deliver a ROI. Fresh inputs are so important to ensure your investment in digital is optimised.

About Chris Lewis
I confess, I love marketing and am privileged to work with a range of clients who value my capability and experience.
Innovation
I launch new food and drink products, and cover everything from idea generation to leading you through product development, packaging and production, through to marketing and selling launch plans. I’ve done this a thousand times* in big, smaller and start-up businesses (* exaggeration but I am highly experienced here!)
Training & Mentoring
This is my experience gained and shared with you, from technical and real-world perspectives. I give your team the skills and knowledge they need to develop and deliver in their roles. I also mentor at a senior level, supporting (and challenging) business leaders with their thinking, priorities and direction.
