Marketing networking seat

One Marketing seat in every group

Each FindaBiz group has one Marketing seat. The member who holds it is the only marketing business at the table, so when someone else in the group hears that a client needs help getting found, filling a launch or making sense of their social media, the referral goes to them. In FindaBiz Lutterworth that seat is already taken. In seven other groups it is open.

This page is for marketing consultants, agencies and freelancers who are thinking about joining, and for anyone looking for a marketing business that other local firms already know and trust. Below you’ll find the Marketing members already in the network, then the groups where the seat is free.

Trades that send work to a Marketing business

Web designers and website design firms often spot the gap first. A client launches a new site, then asks why nobody is visiting it, and the designer needs someone to pass them on to. Copywriters see it from the other side: they write the words, but the client still needs a plan for where those words go. Print & Promotional Goods businesses hear about trade shows, openings and campaigns weeks in advance, which is exactly when a marketer can do the most good.

Accountants and bookkeepers look at a business’s figures every month, so they tend to notice when sales have stalled. Business Change consultants work with owners who are restructuring or repositioning, and a new direction usually means new marketing. Training & Events members have courses and events to fill. You’ll find all of these trades in FindaBiz groups, and referrals usually go both ways, since a marketing business meets plenty of clients who need a website, a copywriter or an accountant.

How the one seat works in a group

With one seat per trade in each group, no other member is competing with you for marketing referrals. Members meet one to one between meetings to learn how each other’s businesses work. That way the web designer knows whether you handle paid ads or only organic social, and the accountant knows what size of client suits you. It’s this kind of detail that lets someone recommend you with confidence.

The arrangement works for anyone looking for a marketing business too. The person you’re introduced to has sat down with the other members and got to know them, and the recommendation comes from a business that has seen how they work.
