Having spent 25 years working within and for SMEs, The SME Marketing Academy Founder, Sarah Lambley FCIM CMKtr, knows one thing to be consistently true. SMEs simply don't have the budget to pay high level strategic thinking either by recruiting a senior marketer or hiring external agency support. Often, smaller businesses have very small, relatively junior marketing teams who work directly for the founder or MD. These marketers are often lonely, have no-one to learn from, have limited experience and are struggling with how to grow the business. This conundrum often leads to high staff turnover of marketers in smaller organisations and stunted business growth.Identifying an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone – provide access to great marketing thinking and elevate the marketing discipline by providing training and mentoring to SME marketers everywhere - Sarah founded The SME Marketing Academy. An affordable and supportive solution providing access to quality training materials and expert strategic, creative and tactical insights every month.
