Marketing Consultant Sussex

Looking for an experienced marketing consultant in Sussex who can help your business cut through the noise and grow with confidence? You’re in the right place.

​

I’m Huw, founder of Tight Lines, a freelance Marketing Director and consultant based in West Sussex. With over 20 years’ experience, I help ambitious businesses in Sussex and beyond sharpen their strategy, focus their resources, and turn good intentions into measurable results.

​

Why Work With a Marketing Consultant in Sussex?

​

Many Sussex businesses face the same challenges:

​

  • Marketing feels busy but isn’t delivering enough impact

  • Budgets are stretched but not optimised

  • Teams are great at delivery but lack strategic direction

  • Agencies aren’t fully aligned with commercial goals

 

That’s where a local, experienced marketing consultant can help. I plug in quickly, assess what’s working (and what’s not), and provide practical, senior-level guidance, without the cost of a full-time hire.

​

Services I Offer

​

As a freelance marketing director and consultant, I support Sussex businesses with:

​

  • Marketing strategy – aligning your goals, audience, and channels

  • Budget reviews – making sure your spend works harder

  • Team leadership – mentoring and structuring in-house teams

  • Agency oversight – helping you get the best from external partners

  • Quick-win audits – identifying fast fixes to build momentum

 

Whether you need a short-term reset or longer-term fractional support, I can tailor a solution that fits your stage and ambition.

​

Who I Work With

​

I partner with a wide range of businesses across Sussex and the South East, including:

 

  • Marketing agencies and consultancies

  • Professional and business services firms

  • Technology and SaaS providers

  • Manufacturing and consumer electronics companies

  • Retail and ecommerce businesses

 

From Brighton to Chichester, Crawley to Worthing, I support local businesses as well as national and international brands headquartered here in Sussex.

​

Why Choose Tight Lines?

​

  • 20+ years’ marketing experience across B2B and B2C

  • Flexible support - from one-off projects to part-time fractional roles

  • Hands-on, practical advice (no fluff, no faff)

  • Local knowledge of the Sussex business landscape

  • Proven quick-win frameworks like my Fresh Start, Smart Spend, and Traction Plan
