ABOUT the doers
MARKETING WITHOUT THE BAGGAGE
The Doers is a full-service marketing partner for businesses that want high-impact results without the excess baggage.
We operate as a collective of seasoned consultants, specialist studios, and best-in-class creatives. That means we scale around your needs, bringing in the right people at the right time, always led by a senior strategist from our core team.
As we, and you, are not tied to a fixed team, you get deeper expertise, tailored support, and a more agile approach. All within a structured and streamlined way of working.
Whether you’re a fast-growing brand or a mid-to-large business looking for something more agile, we’re here to make things happen, with clear leadership, sharp thinking, and zero fluff.

HOW WE DO IT
PLAN
Every project starts with one of our lead strategists - Jess, Claire, or a senior member of our core team. We get to know your business, challenge your thinking, and identify the opportunities that will actually move the needle.
We build a bespoke team around your needs, drawing from our trusted network of specialists. But you won’t be juggling a dozen contacts - your lead strategist stays close, making sure everything is aligned from day one.
EXECUTE
We oversee delivery from start to finish, making sure every detail stays on track, on brand, and on budget. We are the brains, the hands, and the glue that hold it all together — giving you structure and clarity without the chaos.
The Doers is home to everything your marketing needs - strategy, creative, and execution.
We work with businesses across the home and lifestyle and built environment sectors. From property developers to interior designers, luxury bathrooms to food and drink, home insurance to homeware.
No multiple agencies, inflated retainers, or inexperienced juniors.
Just a high-quality, high-impact team that’s as bespoke as your services.
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
SENIOR-LED TALENT
We work like an agency, but without the overhead or fixed team. Instead of fitting your project around whoever’s on payroll, we build a team around what you need — all led by a senior core team that’s been together for 5+ years, giving you consistency and strategic oversight most “freelancer-powered” models can’t match.
INVESTED IN YOU
We bring together the right mix of senior consultants, trusted specialists, and partner agencies to deliver sharp, effective work. Every person is handpicked for their expertise, fully invested in your project, and brilliant at what they do. You get a tailored team built around what you need - the best people, delivering results that matter.
LED WITH CLARITY
Every project is led by Jess, Claire, or one of our core strategists, who bring both strategy and structure from the very start of our working relationship. They act as your consistent point of contact, keeping the whole team aligned with your goals, your brand, and your deadlines — so you always know the bigger picture is being managed with care
MEET THE DOERS
The Doers was started in 2018 when Jess, and former business partner, Laura, saw first-hand how many businesses were juggling agencies, freelancers, and in-house teams — often with more chaos than results. The idea was simple: build a trusted collective of senior marketers, designers, and creatives who could slot in quickly, work seamlessly, and actually deliver. Over the years, that vision’s grown into a core leadership team that’s been together for 5+ years, supported by a network of tried-and-tested specialists. Together, we’re not just good — we’re bloody GREAT at what we do.
You get the knowledge and experience of a complete marketing department without the hassle of managing it yourself. We handle the moving parts: one contract, one invoice, one consistent point of contact — and a team that just gets on with the doing.
FAQs

This all depends on your target audience, KPIs and the marketing channels you need to be using. We can craft a strategic marketing plan to suit any budget and when budgets are a bit tighter, it’s all about doing less but doing it really well. We’re like to have a budget chat very early on so before jumping on a discovery call with us, have a think about what you have to spend and what you want to be achieving. We can let you know what’s realistic and build your marketing strategy from there.

All of our projects, from ongoing retainers to one-off strategy sessions, are overseen by a member of The Doers leadership team. Who that is depends on your sector and the channels or tactics we’re activating — ensuring you always have senior oversight from the start. Around them, we build a tailored team of specialists with the right experience for the job in hand. Your allocated lead acts as your main point of contact, project-managing the team and keeping everything moving smoothly. One contract, one invoice, one point of call. Simple.
We’re always transparent about who’s working on your project, and intro calls are built in. Depending on the scope, our specialists will also join regular check-ins — especially when their expertise is centre stage. After all, they’re the ones who make the magic happen.

In our experience, this is always the best place to start. Clients often come to us asking for one thing, but once we review their marketing plan, we uncover new channels to explore or gaps that need fixing. By setting the strategy up front, you’ll get more from us — and from your spend.
If you already have a strategy in place, we can review it. And if we’re aligned, we’re happy to jump straight into the Doing.

It’s a simple three step process:
A signed contract - this will outline the scope of work, timeline, fees and payment terms.
Client questionnaire - we’ll ask you to fill out a detailed online questionnaire to give us everything we need to create a detailed brief.
Kick-off call - we’ll run through the brief and questionnaire responses together with all of The Doers who will be working on your business.

We’ve been working virtually way before it became trendy and most of our freelancers are based around the UK and beyond. Whilst Zoom is great we’re also readily available to meet in person and this is our preference when delivering one of our in-depth marketing strategy sessions. So please don’t be shy and feel free to invite us to your gaff if that works better for you.
