A Different Kind of Training

All of our training is delivered in a fun, interactive way that relies less on long presentations, and more on getting real world plans and insights out of our trainees.


Underpin Marketing's programmes, whether half or full day, are delivered by our 5 star rated trainer and author Lewis English.


With over 15 years of marketing experience, and a focus on small and medium sized business, Lewis is a friendly and approachable trainer that delivers memorable courses.


Lewis likes to stretch the participants of his course, helping them see different ways to approach each subject and leaving them with concrete plans of how to implement the work.

OUR TRAINING

IS DIFFERENT

hOW WE CREATED A NEW WAY OF TRAINING THAT IS MORE THAN JUST READING A POWERPOINT

Why You Should Care About What we Say About Training

If you only learn one thing about us we hope that it’s our mission – to collaborate on building marketing “rockets” with businesses worldwide. We do this through A combination of training, consultancy and live marketing projects and we succeed by getting our collaborators to think differently by acting differently.

Underpin Marketing, through our founder Lewis English, have delivered our ‘How to Build a Brand’ and ‘Five Step Marketing Plan’ workshops for nearly six years. Our client list includes the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, several county councils countless pre-startups through Local Enterprise Partnerships.

As you may have guessed, we hate cookie-cutter, read-along presentations and believe in putting the ‘work’ in workshops.

 

All of our sessions are delivered by five-star rated author and consultant Lewis English, who has over 15 years of experience in delivering training and working in the field on live projects. Lewis’ style is one that challenges and engages. His ethos is to bust jargon and demystify the sometimes secretive work of branding and marketing. This allows businesses to understand how marketing actually works, build their own strategies, and then go out and deliver individual, progressive branding and marketing that resonates with their chosen customers.


But we aren’t just a training organisation. Lewis and his team work with a diverse set of clients on real-world campaigns every day. In the last year we have worked with environmental organisations on nuclear safety, helped launch a movie on Netflix and created 8 websites for companies in HR, industrial manufacturing, marine technology and property. 


In 2021, we delivered over 100 consultations and as part of our commitment to help, over 70% of these were free of charge to pre-startups and charitable organisations.

Our values are ‘be good, do good, and collaborate’, and our vision is a world where business and marketing advice is so easily understood that businesses no longer make costly mistakes on their marketing

Underpin Marketing believes in a five-step approach: Focus, Strategy, Tactics, Implementation and Reporting.
