Hi, I’m Helen Buddrige

HB Marketing Solutions is the culmination of 20 years of professional marketing and communications experience across large corporate settings. After honing my skills in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, I’ve decided to focus my expertise on helping small businesses thrive and grow.

I’m passionate about using my skills and experience to support sole traders, entrepreneurs, and organisations that can’t afford a dedicated in-house marketing team or large agency fees. I firmly believe that even a modest amount of marketing support can make a huge difference to small businesses -whether you’re a start-up in need of a brand identity and strategic direction or an established business looking to scale.

As your Marketing Business Partner, I’ll work alongside you as your “critical friend” - fully immersing myself in your business to provide tailored advice and strategies. From market research and strategy development to campaign planning, execution, and reporting, I’ll be there to support you throughout your business journey.

How I Work

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. I’m proud of the journey so far, and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets HB Marketing Solutions apart isn’t just the process - it’s the intention behind it. I take the time to understand your business, where it is now, and where you want it to go. Together, we’ll explore your options and create purposeful solutions that help you achieve your goals.
