Before I started Tyneside Marketing, I spent twenty years inside other people's businesses, hiring agencies to grow them. Big London shops, tiny one-person freelancers, retainers from £800 to £8,000 a month. More "strategy decks" than I care to remember.
The pattern was almost always the same.
A confident pitch. A strong first month. Then a slow drift into "we're still tweaking" while the numbers stood still and the invoice kept arriving. When I asked what was working, I got reports full of impressions and clicks. When I asked who I should speak to, I got a junior account manager I'd never met.
I built Tyneside Marketing in 2024 to be the agency I wished I'd hired.
One small team that knows your business, picks up the phone, and tells you straight. Website, SEO and paid ads, all under one roof, so nothing falls between the cracks. Reports you can actually read, that measure the things that matter: enquiries, sales, revenue. Honest answers when something isn't working, and the freedom to walk away whenever you want.
We work only with established businesses across the North East. We charge by the project or by the month, no twelve-month lock-ins. I sign every proposal myself, and you can pick up the phone to me when you need to.
