How we deliver results that matter

We’re a digital marketing consultancy built specifically for real businesses – no jargon, no inflated promises. Whether you’re a freelancer, a growing brand, or a small business with big ambitions, we offer tailored support across strategy, SEO, social media, and execution. From one-off audits to ongoing campaigns, we help you grow your business online – in a way that works for you and your brand.

The Business Tea stands out for our holistic, customer-centric, and data-driven approach. We prioritise transparency by cutting through the marketing jargon and offering clear, actionable insights that deliver real results. Unlike many agencies, we take the time to truly understand your business, tailoring strategies to your unique needs and goals – and we don’t try to distract you with vanity metrics or goals to make a quick pound… we genuinely have your best interests at heart – our primarily goal is to help you succeed.

Our expertise is rooted in over 20 years of combined experience working with businesses of all sizes, from pre-launch start-ups to global enterprises. This breadth of experience allows us to adapt to your specific stage of growth and market challenges, offering strategies that are both practical and scalable. Likewise, our support spans further than a particular niche – meaning we can help you in more ways than say, a traditional agency could.

We also emphasise true partnership – your success is our success. We work closely with you, collaborating every step of the way to ensure your objectives are not only met but exceeded. Lastly, our focus on sustainable growth means we build strategies designed for long-term impact, helping your business thrive in a competitive digital landscape.

In essence, we’re more than marketers; we’re your trusted partners in achieving measurable ROI and driving meaningful growth.

We work with a wide range of businesses, but we’re especially passionate about supporting small businesses, start-ups, and entrepreneurs. Our services are built to be flexible and accessible – whether you’re launching something new or looking to optimise what you’ve already built. We’re proud to work with larger clients as well, providing enterprise marketing support for organisations with more complex goals.

At The Business Tea, we don’t follow outdated funnels or one-size-fits-all playbooks. Today’s customers move in non-linear, often unpredictable ways – researching, comparing, looping back, and engaging across multiple platforms before they ever convert.

That’s why our approach to digital marketing is holistic, strategic, and rooted in real behaviour – not just theory. Whether you’re a growing start-up, an SME, or an enterprise brand, we tailor strategies that meet your audience wherever they are. We focus on building long-term impact through a smart blend of content, SEO, CRM, paid media, and community building – all guided by data, not guesswork.

Rather than pushing people down a funnel, we help you attract, segment and nurture leads through authentic messaging, insight-led strategy, and meaningful engagement – no matter your business size or complexity.

Our work starts – and stays – grounded in understanding. That begins with a discovery call, where we get to know your business inside out: your audience, goals, challenges, and what success actually looks like to you. From there, we move into research and planning – benchmarking where you are now, identifying opportunities, and building a strategy around what will actually move the needle for your business.

But alignment doesn’t stop there. We stay close throughout – through regular check-ins, shared dashboards, and ongoing feedback – so we’re always adapting your strategy to reflect what’s working, what’s changed, and where we can push things further. Whether it’s fine-tuning messaging or pivoting based on performance data, our process is built to flex with your business so that marketing always supports the direction you’re heading in.

We use a carefully curated set of trusted, industry-standard tools – from platforms like SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Google Analytics 4 – to Adobe Creative Suite and Make.com. These are just some of the tools that power our day-to-day marketing work – but they’re not the only ones we use.

We’re also completely flexible with your existing tech-stack. If you’re already using platforms or tools in-house, we’re happy to work with what’s already embedded in your business. We’re not here to rip and replace – we’re here to add value.

Whether you need help designing content, building email workflows, managing campaigns, or analysing performance data, we’ll use the right tools for the right job – whether they’re yours or ours. It’s about building on what’s working, not forcing a one-size-fits-all toolkit.

We bring over 20 years of combined marketing experience – but more importantly, we bring a consultative mindset and a genuine investment in your success. Working with us means you’re not just hiring a service – you’re gaining a partner who understands the big picture and the small details.

Because we’re not buried inside your business day to day, we can bring the clarity, strategy, and outside perspective that helps you see things differently. But we’re also right there with you – acting as an extension of your team, offering honest guidance, creative ideas, and all the marketing know-how and resources you’d expect from an experienced in-house function.

Our job is to make your life easier, your strategy sharper, and your marketing efforts actually make a difference.

Yes – and not just the common ones. We’ve worked with a wide range of CRM and marketing platforms, including enterprise-level systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics. Whether you’re using something well-known or a more specialised, industry-specific tool, we’re confident in our ability to get up to speed quickly and integrate seamlessly.

We’re not here to force a new tech stack onto your team. Instead, we focus on optimising what you already have, identifying where improvements can be made, and ensuring your tools are working hard for your marketing goals – not creating extra work.

And if you don’t have a system in place yet? We’ll help you choose and implement the right tools based on your budget, business model, and long-term goals. Whether it’s email automation, customer journey mapping, analytics, or lead scoring – we’ll make the tech side feel a lot less overwhelming.

We offer a full-spectrum marketing service – covering everything from strategy and consultancy to execution, optimisation, and beyond. Whether you need support with audits, SEO, content creation, CRM setup, automation, paid ads, analytics, or technical implementation – we’ve got the skills, tools, and experience to make it happen.

But we’re not limited to a set menu. As an all-in-one marketing partner, we flex to what you need. That could mean helping your in-house team streamline workflows, building automated lead journeys, or advising on GDPR compliance and data use. We’re here to provide whatever marketing support your business actually needs – not just what’s written on a service list.

When you work with us, you get access to our full breadth of expertise – and the freedom to shape how you use it.

Yes – in fact, it’s what we’re best at. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter marketing. Your business is unique, and your strategy should be too.

There’s no shortage of generic advice online – but most of it isn’t tailored to your audience, your data, or the way your business actually operates. That’s why we start every engagement with a discovery call, so we can understand the nuances of your goals, your market, and what’s already working. From there, we build a bespoke strategy that’s rooted in insight – not assumptions.

In our experience, brands fall down when they chase trends without understanding their own landscape. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

We measure success by focusing on the metrics that matter most to your goals and objectives. Every business is different, which means the way we evaluate performance will depend on what success looks like for you. For example, if you’re looking to grow your online presence, we might focus on metrics like organic traffic and keyword rankings. If your goal is to drive sales or leads, we’ll pay close attention to conversion rates and commercial outcomes like revenue growth.

Our approach isn’t about creating reports filled with numbers; it’s about using the right data to tell a story about how your campaigns are performing and where opportunities lie. Whether it’s tracking the return on your ad spend, measuring engagement rates across platforms, or evaluating how well your content resonates with your audience, we ensure that the insights we provide are clear, actionable, and directly tied to your overall strategy. This way, you’ll always have a clear picture of how your marketing efforts are contributing to your business’s growth and success.

We do – but only if that’s what you would like.

Some clients come to us for a one-off project, audit, or strategy session and that’s exactly what they get. Others choose to work with us on an ongoing basis through retainer agreements, monthly reviews, or a more embedded partnership model. We’re flexible by design – whether you’re after a quick win or a long-term relationship.

Our role is to support your business in the way that works best for you. If that means being your on-call strategist, your outsourced marketing function, or just the team that helped you get something important over the line – we’re here for it. No lock-ins or unnecessary upsells… just the right support, at the right time.

Woah – easy, tiger. Sounds like someone’s ready to see some serious growth – love that.

The truth is, it really depends on what kind of marketing activity we’re talking about – and what you’re hoping to achieve. If you’re running paid ads, you could start seeing leads or conversions in a matter of days. If you’re investing in SEO, you’re looking at more of a slow burn – typically around 2–4 months to start gaining traction, with compounding growth over time.

But it’s not just about speed – it’s about sustainability. That’s why we’ll always start by understanding your goals, mapping out the right mix of short-term wins and long-term gains, and setting clear expectations from day one. We’ll keep you in the loop with regular reporting, so you always know what’s working (and what’s next).

From start-ups and sole traders to larger SMEs and established brands, our portfolio includes e-commerce, service-based businesses, B2B & B2C SaaS, consultants, tradespeople, and not-for-profits. We’re proud to adapt our approach to every business size and sector – that’s why we love what we do!

That depends on your goals, your investment – and how ready your business is to take action. We won’t promise overnight miracles (that’s not our style), but we will focus on what matters: measurable, meaningful results.

Whether that’s improved search visibility, more qualified leads, lower cost-per-click, or stronger conversion rates, we’ll work closely with you to define the right performance metrics from the start. Then we’ll use data, reporting, and regular check-ins to track progress and highlight what’s working – and where we can go next.

Our role is to help you understand the value of your marketing, not just the spend. So yes, we’re results-driven – but we’re also here to help you articulate ROI, optimise for efficiency, and make smarter decisions at every stage.

Yes – and we’ve been there ourselves, both agency-side and in-house. Whether you’re a small business watching every penny or an enterprise team with ringfenced marketing spend, we know that budget pressures can exist at every level – just on different scales.

We’re flexible in how we work, and we’ll always tailor our support to fit your budget. That might mean focusing efforts on your highest-impact channels, spreading spend out over time, or recommending a ‘little and often’ approach that gives you more control and consistency.

And just so we’re clear – we don’t do big, expensive reveals after weeks of silence (unless you’re into that…?). We keep you in the loop, communicate regularly, and adapt the plan as we go. If budget is a concern, we’re always happy to chat through what’s possible and help you get the most value out of what you can invest.

We’re happy to work on one-off projects like audits or campaigns, as well as establish long-term partnerships. Simply drop us a message to explore options that fit your needs.
