About me

Hi, I’m Ruth – a freelance marketing director and Your Marketing Partner UK.

​

I help businesses unlock the benefits of strategic marketing, with the flexibility to match your needs.

Ruth Harvey - Your Marketing Partner UK

Here's how I work as Your Marketing Partner:

 

  • Making marketing simple. I want to help you to focus on what matters - not the latest trend. No unnecessary complexity, just practical, effective support.

  • Flexibility around your needs. Whether you need a few days a month, help with a one-off project, or ongoing input, I'm here to help.

  • Caring about your success. I’m honest, direct, and fully invested in helping you make smarter marketing decisions that lead to measurable impact.

​

If you’re looking for strategic clarity, confident decision-making, and marketing that drives real impact - I’d love to work with you.

​

​Marketing can be complex, but it doesn't have to be complicated.

Why me? I'm qualified.

As a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualified professional, I bring formal training and strategic expertise to every project.

 

I hold a CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing and LEAN Six Sigma Green Belt certification in continuous improvement. I’ve also recently completed the Marketing Week's MiniMBA in Marketing to further hone my skills, - so you get qualified insight that’s current, credible, and commercially focused.

​

I've also been involved in numerous leadership coaching skills development programmes which sparked my passion in developing others.

Delivering results

​I joined a leadership team in a business undergoing major cultural and operational change, and marketing - having lacked direction and investment for a while - needed a clear strategic reset.

​​

In just 12 months, we:

 

  • Developed and delivered a new global marketing strategy

  • Repositioned the brand with insight-led value propositions

  • Introduced a customer feedback programme to drive insights

  • Relaunched the website — enhancing content, UX, SEO and conversion

  • Ran targeted campaigns built around customer needs and purchase intent

 

​

The outcome?

 

  • £4M in directly influenced pipeline growth

  • >100% increase in website-generated leads

  • A marketing function driving insight and value

 

​

It was a clear example of how strategy, cross-functional alignment and customer insight can transform marketing impact and business results.

Marketing transformation.
