About us

Your Challenge 

Developing a truly integrated, up-to-date
marketing strategy is key to unlocking genuine
growth opportunities in your organisation.
Yet lack of time, resources and even
capabilities mean that developing and
delivering this kind of strategy is hard.

 “GMP provided an excellent service in both reviewing our current marketing strategy and campaign activity following a recent college merger. After conducting internal research, they presented us with considerations on taking a different approach to how we think about marketing and the changes we can
make to maximise our engagement opportunities. Some real takeaways that we have immediately adopted.”
