Marketing Think Tank: Autumn (October) 2026 Cohort

Stop working IN your business and carve out the dedicated space you need to work ON your marketing. If you are tired of wearing every hat, struggling to find the time for consistent promotion, or facing marketing roadblocks alone, this is your dedicated creative hub.

Targeting Your Pain Points: When you are deep in the day-to-day grind, marketing often becomes a reactive task. This cohort helps you stop guessing what works, refine your messaging so it speaks directly to your ideal clients' frustrations, and position your business as the definitive solution.

The Benefits:

• Step away from the daily juggle to think, test, and strategise.

• Bounce your ideas off an exclusive circle of up to five other local business owners.

• Gain an objective sounding board, overcome isolation, and walk away with actionable, peer-tested • solutions.

• Build the gentle accountability you need to ensure your marketing tasks actually get done.
