Down-to-earth marketing that gets results
I’m Tracey Sweetland — a former journalist turned marketing strategist, helping South Lincolnshire’s small businesses look good, get seen, and get customers.
No jargon. No corporate waffle. Just real marketing that works in the real world.
Affordable, practical marketing - without the faff.
You don’t need an agency or a huge budget to make your business stand out.
You just need someone who understands what it’s like to run a local business and knows how to help you reach the right people.
Whether you’re running a café, salon, shop, or local service, I’ll help you tell your story, attract customers, and build a brand that stands out — without the jargon or the price tag of a big-city agency.
Design that sells
Eye-catching leaflets, posters, business cards, and adverts that get noticed. Whether you’re starting from scratch or need a refresh, I’ll make sure your visuals reflect your business and your personality.
Words that work
Press releases, website copy, adverts, and blog posts written in plain English that actually sound like you. I’ll help you tell your story in a way that connects — not confuses.
Websites & online presence
From quick tidy-ups to full refreshes, I’ll make your website easy to use, clear to read, and findable on Google. Need help setting up your Google Business page or polishing your online listings? I’ve got you.
Marketing strategy & content planning
No fluff, no jargon — just a simple, focused plan that fits your goals and your budget. Together we’ll figure out what actually makes sense for your business, and I’ll help you get it done.
How It Works
We talk.
A quick chat about what you need — big or small.
You decide.
I’ll outline a few options to fit your goals and your budget.
I get to work.
Design, writing, or marketing — done for you.
You shine.
Your business gets seen, remembered, and recommended.
Typical local projects start from around £35–£50 per hour, or from £100 for small one-off jobs. Everything’s tailored — no contracts or long-term tie-ins, just straightforward support when you need it.
Why Work With Me
After years in journalism and small business marketing, I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t).
I’ve written the stories, designed the ads, and helped businesses like yours connect with real people.
I know how it feels to juggle everything and wonder if you’re “doing marketing right.” Spoiler: there’s no right way – just the right way for you.
I’ll help you figure that out – without the waffle, the overwhelm, or the scary invoices.
We have been very impressed by Tracey’s ability to create designs matching both the business needs and budget. We would certainly recommend Tracey.
Ongoing Support & Mentoring
If you’re looking for longer-term marketing help, business mentoring, or brand strategy, I also offer structured packages through my main business, The Growth Nexus.
From one-hour power sessions to full marketing support plans, that’s where you’ll find the deep-dive options — and the mindset support to match.
