Hello.

Welcome to KR Consulting

We are a strategic marketing and communications consultancy

We help early stage and growing businesses to develop their strategy, prepare for investment and drive growth.

Start-up, scale-up or long established, we’ll help you maximise your potential

As business to business specialists, we work with companies of all sizes and at all stages in their development.

Our clients consult us for a variety of reasons – some are actively pursuing growth, others are undergoing change and many just want good quality marketing advice, as and when they need it.

We specialise in marketing and communications for tech, financial and professional services companies but we can help any business with a complex story that needs to be made simpler.

From first strategy to serious scale, we help businesses move forward with confidence.

How we work

We don’t have a formula or a rigid methodology – we prefer to have a conversation, to find out about you and your proposition, what you've done to date and what you’re looking to achieve. Only then will we talk through what we think could work to deliver an advantage.

And if we don’t think that we can add value, we will say so at the outset.

Grow

We help early stage and growing businesses to develop their strategy, prepare for investment and drive growth.

Accelerate

Where performance has plateaued, we’ll help you with new ideas and a strategy to energise and generate new growth.

Plan

We’ll help you think beyond the tactics, to really understand what you are trying to achieve in commercial terms, who you are trying to target and what they care about.

Implement

We’ll develop this into a plan of action, working with you from concept to delivery.

Marketing is instrumental to shaping your company’s future performance. It helps you to win and retain customers, gain investment and attract great talent.
