I’m Zoë Starkey, an independent marketing consultant helping ambitious businesses to turn smart strategy into meaningful results. With over a decade of experience leading award-winning campaigns, building teams, and transforming brands, I bring both the big-picture thinking and hands-on delivery needed to create marketing that actually works.

I work with a wide range of businesses, helping them build stronger brands, clearer strategies, and more confident marketing. I flex my approach to suit you - I can be as professional or as personal as your business requires! I know when to follow the process, and when to get creative and challenge it. Whilst the majority of my clients are SMEs, prior to going solo I worked within large corporate and regulated environments, so I understand the importance of structure, governance, and working collaboratively with legal and compliance teams.

I founded Starkey Marketing to give growing businesses access to senior-level marketing expertise - without the cost or commitment of hiring full-time. I work as an extension of your team, and whether you’re looking to refine your brand story, improve your digital presence, or build a marketing plan that truly connects with customers, I bring clarity, creativity, and commercial focus to every project.

From one-off projects to ongoing partnerships, I will work flexibly around your business - offering strategic guidance, practical delivery, and the reassurance that things will actually get done. Just take a look at my feedback!

Big-picture strategy. Hands-on delivery.
That’s what defines Starkey Marketing.
