Why it matters

It isn’t you. It’s the job.

Every owner we meet is in roughly the same position. Marketing matters, there’s no time for it, and nobody can tell whether it’s working.

36%

of UK business owners say their own lack of capacity is the biggest barrier to growing the business.

feel very confident their marketing is working. The rest aren’t sure.

Constant Contact, 2025

Capacity is the real issue, and we can’t give you more hours. What we can do is make sure the ones you spend on marketing count, and that you know what’s working.

How we work

Two ways to work with us

Same thinking either way. On Hand is us alongside you every month. With the partnership, we audit everything you’re doing now and everything you’ve tried before, put a practical plan together to grow, then fix the foundations ourselves.

On Hand
£300+VAT a month
A marketing expert alongside you, every month.
A 90-minute discovery session and a plan we build together.
You do, but never on your own. We build the plan with you, advise on anything you want a second opinion on, and you get our templates and resources.
Time and money are tight, and the little you have of both needs to go on what works.
Three months to start, then stay as long as it’s useful.

Fixed feescoped around your business
A deep dive into the business, then we fix what’s blocking growth.
A full audit of everything: customers, competitors, pricing, website, the lot.
We do, on the foundations. Not everything — just the things holding the business back.
Something underneath is stopping you growing, and it needs sorting properly.
A defined piece of work, usually seven to eight weeks.
Fixed fee, scoped around your business

Trusted names we've worked for and with

Before founding FairHall, we spent years working for, and alongside, some well-known and well-trusted local and regional brands. That experience taught us what works, and just as importantly, what doesn't, and now we bring it to business owners like you.
