A note on my recent workNetwork Group
Head of Marketing
Scaled marketing income nearly 5× and helped drive over 50% of organisational revenue
I spent six years as Head of Marketing at Network Group - the UK's leading MSP community. In that time I scaled marketing income nearly 5x, contributed over 50% of total organisational revenue, built four flagship national events that became must-attend in the channel, and elevated vendor engagement to the highest levels in the Group's 30-year history.
I haven't written this up as a case study - it's too recent and too broad to reduce to a single story. But if you'd like to understand in more detail what I built there and how, the best thing to do is get in touch. I'm happy to talk through it properly.
Sidenote:I started working with Network Group in March 2020 on a freelance basis, 2–3 days a week, alongside my other client work. Two years later they asked me to come on board as a permanent staff member. I stayed for four years.
“Thank you for being such an integral part of the team, to the extent that we feel you are permanent staff!” Perry Ashby, CEO Urban Network UK, Former Chair, Network Group
That progression - from fractional partner to permanent hire - tells you something about how I work. I don't show up, deliver a project and move on. I become part of the fabric of the businesses I work with. That's not a selling point, it's just what happens when the work is done properly.
“Marie has driven the positioning of our organisation and demonstrates us authentically for who we are. There is a real buzz created around what Network Group is, more so than ever before, and this is without doubt thanks to Marie. A joy to work with, creative, reliable, someone who both gets it and gets things done”
“Thank you so much for being part of the team through a very unique period of time, and defining the chapters that truly elevated Network Group to be a global voice in our community. We could not have done that without you and your amazing talent. I wish you well as you move forward to elevate the next lucky businesses that you work with.”
“You always looked after your partners and handled the deluge of questions with patience and grace even when inside you were probably stressed to your eyeballs”
“Thanks for everything you have done for the group raising the profile to a level that will be difficult to surpass. Even under the harshest deadlines and pressure you always dragged everyone along with a smile. Wherever you land I know you’ll make the same level of impact as you had with our group and they will be the luckier for it. I am and will remain a big fan of your work.”
