Job Title: Owner

Job Title: Owner
Company: Custard & Bear
Description: Custard and Bear is a marketing agency which supports businesses to promote themselves.

My focus is businesses based in the North East, although I do also have remote clients across the UK. My real passion is customer service and how to bring customers back to you, time and time again. My marketing heroes are Jack Mitchell and Stanley Marcus - both American retail gurus.

Whilst I can 'do' marketing for my clients, and assume the role of freelance Marketing Manager, I tend to find that my role is one of ideas generation and then supporting my clients to implement my ideas themselves. However, I like rolling up my sleeves and doing a bit of everything, so get in touch if you need some marketing advice, support and inspiration!

I also undertake larger freelance marketing contracts. Clients include/have included:
Cobweb Information Ltd (Gateshead)
Swagelok Engineering (Teeside)
Lifestyle Designs NE Ltd (County Durham)
Ideo Accountancy (Edinburgh)

My real passion is customer service and how to bring customers back to you time and time again. Officially it's called customer retention, or customer loyalty, but I just like to think of it as common sense ways to make your customers love your business so much that they wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

Customer retention isn't rocket science - mostly it's using some good old fashioned marketing techniques, adding in plenty of time, and then making the long term effort to build relationships.

If you're just a bit too British to ask your customers to come back, then why not let Custard and Bear do the asking for you!

In December 2011 I won the @startupbritain award on Twitter for the best piece of small business advice.
