Hi, I’m Debbie. Small business marketing is what I do.
FOUNDER OF THE GAP AGENCY
Based in Dorset and working with small businesses across the UK, I help founders and small business owners turn ideas into action with clarity, creativity and practical marketing support. Bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
I work closely with every client, combining strategic thinking with practical, hands-on support. You get a partner who understands your business and its goals, helping you turn ideas into action and focus on the things that will make a meaningful difference.
I started The Gap Agency because I wanted to find a better way to make my career and family life work together. As a single mum to children with additional needs, finding senior marketing roles that offered the flexibility I needed wasn’t easy. I knew I still had a huge amount of experience, creativity and energy to offer, but I wanted to put it to good use without compromising on being there for my family when they needed me.
It also made me realise where I do my best work. I love working with small businesses, founders and start-ups because there’s an energy and passion that’s infectious. Decisions can be made, ideas can become reality and you can genuinely see the difference your work is making. That’s what I wanted The Gap Agency to be about: using nearly 30 years of marketing experience to help brilliant people move their businesses forward, while creating a business that gives me the freedom to be Mum when I need to be.
