Bare Face Marketing give you senior-level marketing expertise – without the full time price tag.

We are creative.

We are professional.

We are Bare Face Marketing.

Founded in 2009, Bare Face Marketing was built on a simple belief: every business deserves access to experienced, practical marketing support. With over 30 years of client-side and agency experience, we help businesses develop clear marketing strategies, strengthen their brands and implement marketing activity that delivers real commercial value.

Our experience spans a diverse range of sectors, including FMCG, pharmaceuticals, food, professional services and construction, giving us the insight to quickly understand different businesses and the challenges they face. We don’t believe in marketing for marketing’s sake. We believe in creating plans that align with business objectives, making informed decisions and delivering activity that supports growth.

Many of our clients see us as an extension of their team. We provide strategic guidance, hands-on support and a trusted sounding board for everything from brand development and campaign planning to websites, content creation and digital marketing. Whether you need help launching a new product, refreshing your brand, managing suppliers or developing a long-term marketing strategy, we bring the experience, knowledge and practical approach needed to move your business forward.

Our clients value honest advice, long-term relationships and marketing that works in the real world.

Flexible by design.

We work in a way that best suits your business. There’s no fixed price list and no one-size-fits-all approach. Every client relationship is different — here’s how we can work together:

RETAINER

Ongoing monthly support at a set number of hours or days. Ideal if you want consistent, reliable marketing without the cost of a full-time hire.

PARTNERSHIP

We work alongside your existing internal team, providing senior strategic support and specialist skills wherever you need them most.

OUTSOURCED

Your fully outsourced marketing department. We act as your Marketing Director — typically 4–5 days per month, embedded in your business.

PROJECT

Need help with a specific piece of work? A new website, a rebrand, a campaign? We scope it, price it, and deliver it. No long-term commitment required.

Real results.
Real people.

“RRC Crane Hire Ltd would like to thank Emma for all her hard work developing our new website. The feedback we have had from our customers has been excellent. Emma’s work ethic and professionalism is second to none and is always willing to go the extra yard to get the job done. I would recommend Emma for any marketing projects you have in the future.”

Ian Cross, Director, RRC Crane Hire Ltd

“As a director, I realise the value of quality branding, being able to stand out and be seen. Bare Face helped me overcome the challenge of changing the image of my company, an inherited logo that said everything about the past, nothing about the future and kept us pigeon-holed in a place we didn’t want to be. With new branding, Bare Face resolved that problem and reflected our core values of quality and service. Jump forward 7 years, and they’ve done it again, a new brand image that engages our customers and stands out in a crowd .”

Chris Lodge, Director, Manor Lodge Food

“My brief to Emma was to design and build a website that would clearly explain the services I provide, include an easy-to-use e-commerce section, and have a luxurious feel. I am delighted with the results. Emma communicates very well, and working with her was easy and speedy. I’m delighted with the results and so are my customers.”

Matt, Owner, David Gavin Design

“Emma played an instrumental role in the set-up of Inclusive Practice. Without her experience, guidance and tenacity, our company may have remained an idea in our heads. She skilfully led us through our branding and website design, giving us the confidence we needed to understand and communicate who we are as a company. We knew that every decision made was an informed one, and that we were in safe hands.”

Ellie Grady, Director, Inclusive Practice

Not sure where to start? That’s perfectly normal. You don’t need a detailed brief or a fully formed plan before getting in touch. Most clients come to us with an idea rather than all the answers. A quick conversation can help clarify your goals, identify what you actually need and give you a much clearer picture of the best way forward.
Honest, authentic, results-driven marketing from Bare Face Marketing in Manchester.

Everything your business needs to grow.

SEO & PAY PER CLICK

What’s the point of a great website if nobody sees it? We help businesses increase their online visibility through Google Ads and strategic SEO. While paid advertising can deliver quick results, SEO is a long-term investment that helps build sustainable traffic, improve search rankings and generate enquiries for years to come.

E-COMMERCE WEBSITES

Your online shop should be one of your most valuable business assets. Our bespoke e-commerce websites showcase your products, streamline the buying process and encourage repeat purchases, helping businesses increase sales and build a platform for sustainable growth.

BRANDING & DESIGN

Your brand is more than a logo — it’s the whole story your business tells before you say a word. We develop brand identities that reflect your core values, resonate with your audience, and give you the confidence to stand out. No font too obscure. No idea too ‘out there’.

CUSTOM WEBSITES

A great website should do more than look good. It should attract the right visitors, build trust and turn interest into enquiries. We create websites that work hard for your business, combining engaging design, clear messaging and a seamless user experience.

OUTSOURCING MARKETING

Great marketing starts with a clear plan. We work alongside business owners to develop practical marketing strategies that support growth, strengthen brands and deliver results. From campaign planning to brand development, without the full-time expense.

HOSTING & MAINTENANCE

We offer a range of website hosting and maintenance packages to suit your individual requirements, including WordPress updates, security monitoring, backups and ongoing support — keeping your website running smoothly while you focus on your business.
