The brief

Most marketing is not short of activity. It is short of a plan.

01

Commercial first

Our founder came into marketing through sales and commercial leadership, so every plan is judged on pipeline, acquisition cost, lifetime value and margin.

02

Distinct channel roles

One story, one goal, but each channel does the job it does best. Social builds discovery, content earns trust, community and CRM drive loyalty.

03

Strategy before automation

AI makes good specialists faster. It does not decide what they should work on. Tools should fit the plan, not replace it.

The files

About our founder

Hand-picked

The only digital marketer on the VOOM panel

When Virgin Media and LinkedIn ran VOOM, their national competition for start-ups, Bernadette was chosen from thousands of applicants as the only digital marketing expert on the advisory panel.

She mentored the finalists through the competition and helped choose the winner, judging each business on the things that matter to investors: a clear proposition, a credible route to market and a plan to grow.

Questions

Before you brief us

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with your business part-time, usually for a set number of days each month. You get board-level strategy, team leadership and accountability for results without the cost of a full-time executive hire.

Who is Agent Kelly for?

Founders, CEOs, boards and investors who need senior marketing thinking quickly. Typical clients are scale-ups without a CMO, businesses between marketing leaders, PE-backed companies preparing for growth or exit, and teams that need an expert view on a specific channel.

What are GEO and AEO?

Generative engine optimisation (GEO) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini understand, trust and cite your brand. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) helps your content become the direct answer in AI Overviews, featured snippets and voice search. Both are built into every Agent Kelly strategy.

Do you only work in iGaming?

No. iGaming, crypto and esports are areas of deep experience, but we also work with eCommerce, retail, B2B, sport, media and other regulated or consumer brands.

Where are you based?

We are based in Manchester and work with clients across the UK, Europe and North America, remotely and on site when it helps.
