A client wanting to strategise their marketing efforts

Who are you?

You are a B2B tech business looking for clear-cut marketing advice and evidence-based strategies. Ultimately, you want the people who could benefit from your technology or service to know about you and recognise your value. To reach those people (and leave your competitors in the dust), you need to implement the right marketing plans. 

Articulate Marketing intergrated on a circuit board

Who are we?

Articulate Marketing is an award-winning marketing agency, B Corp and HubSpot expert partner. We help clients to build their Difference Engine and achieve their ambitions as a market leader with strategic positioning, thought leadership content, signature websites and HubSpot consultancy. See our latest success stories, here.

What you get

Service overview

We are a strategic partner for our clients. All our clients ‘enter through the strategy door’. That means, when you speak to our business development team, they will ask you a series of questions to assess your marketing maturity and strategic requirements. This helps us understand what level of service is going to provide the best value for you. Some coaching or — most often — strategy recommendations and plans.

Here are some free resources if you’d like to see how we think about marketing strategy:

Marketing consultancy

This service is ideal for companies who do not have a marketing lead in house or who need that outside perspective and deep know-how to help them address long-term marketing objectives. Gain valuable insights from senior business consultants or subject specialists (a.k.a. marketing, content, design and HubSpot geeks) on an as-needed basis.

We shed light on the the things you know you don’t know, and even those murkier “unknown unknowns.” With decades of experience, we understand your sector and how to play the marketing game — and win.

Choose a standalone consultancy engagement on a project or retainer basis. Or, get consultancy-as-a-service within a broader package of creative implementation.

Strategic blueprints

Many clients come to us for strategic marketing blueprints. These workshops and documented plans are delivered by our team of marketing engineers, who will help you to articulate fundamental aspects of your marketing strategy.

Our blueprints combat a common ailment: “random acts of marketing”. That is, sporadic, opinion-based projects with no through-line. We help you fill in the gaps.

With the Pro or Enterprise package, clients also receive documentation for each workshop. Plus, further recommendations, a competitor analysis and sector reports. We also offer workstream plans, such as SEO or conversion-rate optimisation planning, as required. Workshop formats may vary depending on your needs.

"The work was turned around in an incredible timeframe. That was down to precise planning and project management, as well as skilful implementation. The project included a launch of our Symbio product. To turn that around in six weeks was unbelievable. We’ve seen really positive feedback and leads. Plus, the visibility we have on those leads is on scale we’ve never seen before. Given this success, it was natural to continue with further projects."

"With Articulate’s combined expertise of sales enablement and content creation we started driving significant traffic to our web site, increased our LinkedIn network exponentially and generated inbound, qualified leads within a couple of weeks. I’m not impressed easily – but I am by Team Articulate. Not only that, but they are a jolly lovely bunch of people to work with! Can’t thank or recommend them enough."

"We loved the collaborative approach of working with the team, who were able to bolster our in-house capabilities and provide us with the right tools to accelerate our digital marketing strategy. The output has not only exceeded all expectations but has been met with resounding positivity within the marketplace. It finally feels like we have a brand reflective of our product, culture, and capabilities."

"Articulate has provided great advice and we've been able to tailor weekly sessions to what we want. Articulate has audited our HubSpot account, got things up and running from a technical perspective, and helped us solve our problems. We've set up new dashboards, custom audience lists for advertising, and built our first webinar campaign. We've already begun to see ROI."

Theorem Solutions

"Articulate are one of the easiest agencies to work with. They know what they are doing and are very upfront about what we could expect from them, but also what they’d expect from us in return, helping to build a healthy working relationship. Articulates approach has been a very refreshing and positive experience."

"The processes are night and day with Articulate - in a good way. I really love and sincerely enjoy our brainstorming sessions. What stands out to me is the research that goes into them. The team comes with well-thought-out, topical, and evidence-backed ideas. They are very flexible when we give our input too, pivoting on the spot to take those thoughts onboard, which always comes through in the final content plans."

Kelly Peters JazzHR

Tech City Teams

"We knew we needed to reinvent our brand to project a more professional and grown-up image, that matched our work standard and ethos. Matthew and the Articulate team led us gently into identifying what makes us tick as a brand, what sets us apart from the crowd and what we want to project."

I cannot recommend our experience with Articulate enough. They took the time to understand our needs and requirements. We had open lines of communication and a clear plan. The website built for us is not only highly functional and user-friendly on desktop and mobile, it incorporates all the necessary features, is clean, bright, welcoming, easily navigable, and simple for us to update on our own going forward.

"We recommend Articulate for at least three reasons: they absolutely master their craft, they are a pleasure to work with and they are not just "doers" but great advisors. Thanks to their great knowledge of HubSpot, they handled specific requirements for our website single-handedly."
