If you're a MENTA client, you're in the right place.

We’re here to help you thrive

We're The Handy Marketing Company, a Suffolk-based, family-run consultancy that specialises in straight-talking, practical marketing support for startups and small businesses.

We know what it's like to build something from scratch (we've done it ourselves), and we understand the pressures of limited time, tight budgets, and wearing too many hats. That's why everything we offer is designed to be clear, cost-effective, and genuinely helpful.

Whether you're just starting or trying to get more visibility, we can help you with:

  • Branding and logo design

  • Website creation (with ongoing support if you need it)

  • Social media setup and content planning

  • Email marketing and copywriting

  • SEO, audits, and making sure your business gets found online

  • Strategy sessions and mentoring to help you grow with confidence

No fluff. No upselling. Just marketing that works for you.

We're proud to partner with MENTA to support new businesses across Suffolk and Norfolk. If you've been referred to us by MENTA, you're in safe hands, and you'll get access to a set of startup-friendly packages to help you get off the ground.

Let's get your business seen, heard, and moving in the right direction.
