Experts in marketing small creative businesses. When you don't have enough time, techie know-how or a big budget, Katharine and Co. will help you get tasks done - moving you towards your business goals and freeing up your time.
Who we can help
We can help any small business or entrepreneur and we specialise in working with creative businesses. Our collective has a wide-ranging work heritage including design, the arts, non-profit, publishing, e-commerce, retail and sales, events, public sector and education. We'll use this experience to help you market your business more effectively to achieve your business goals. Here's a few examples.
bricks and mortar service business
When you're busy doing the day to day job of running a brick and mortar service business, constant interruptions and customers leave precious little time to focus on marketing your business. Perhaps you want to grow your customer base or align your brand with your preferred clientele?
artisan business
In today's throw-away society there are still discerning consumers with an appreciation for craftsmanship. Marketing effectively will help these customers find you and showcase the quality and heritage of your product - whatever you're crafting - from painted signage to mandolins.
non-profit / community interest
From local clubs to charities, farmers' market co-operatives to guerrilla gardening groups - if you run a non-profit or community interest organisation and want to raise awareness or funding, build and communicate with your membership, launch an event or initiative, talk to us.
consulting business
Whether you're a business, lifestyle, fitness or financial coach, when you are sharing your genius to help others, time is quite literally money and having good clients is all-important. If you want to increase your rates, find better clients and automate your business we can help.
location independent business
When your business is service based and location independent, marketing your business is crucial - but time is quite literally money. Out-source your marketing and we can help you get more bookings and create a service brand people happily recommend, wherever you are.
bricks and mortar store
Having a business such as a florist, bakery, cafe or designer boutique is living the dream for many of us, but the overheads can be a nightmare. Aligning your business with your customers and consistently and creatively marketing keeps customers loyal, interested and invested in your business.
start-ups / re-branding / launches
If you're just starting out, a great logo and professional looking website go a long way to setting you off on the right foot. There are a lot of ways to market on a shoe-string and we can help you decide how best to invest a small budget to launch and get straight in there disrupting the marketplace.
venue / event / Hire business
Whether you're planning weddings, maximising the potential of a beautiful venue or hiring out props to make the occasion unique, we can help you showcase what you have to offer, increase bookings and be on hand to help your business run smoothly during those crazy peak season weeks.
creative product business
If you're passionate about your product you probably want to spend as much time as possible creating it, so delegate the tasks you least enjoy doing to us. And we can help maximise sales channels. Like you, we're passionate about what we do and that's helping you make an income doing what you love.
service based business
Whatever you service - dog grooming, interior design, photography, gardening, dressmaking, cake designing, quilting, playing music or personal training, we can help you craft your brand and communications to make your business to stand out and be found by the right people.
online / digital products
If you write a blog or sell digital products, the chances are your issue is time, rather than techie know-how. We're on hand to help with launching a new digital product, devising strategy to take your business to the next level or handling day to day marketing tasks during peak periods.
e-commerce business
If you run an entirely digital operation or need an e-commerce solution to complement an existing business, we can help you analyse, design, implement and automate the ideal e-commerce platform helping you maximise the potential of e-commerce for your bottom line.
