Marketing Consultancy Services

I work with clients dealing with complexity. That might be regulation, diverse audiences, vulnerability, political sensitivity, or lots of moving parts. My job is to bring clarity, focus and momentum to your communications.

Copywriting & Content Creation

I write interview-based web content, blogs, case studies, annual reports, and accessible support materials. Each piece is shaped around what your audience needs to know and how they need to hear it, whether that’s a case study that tells a real story or a report that people will actually read.

Accessible Communications

When your audience is stressed, vulnerable, or navigating complex systems, accessible communications are essential.

Booklets, guides, and advisory materials designed to remove barriers, reduce stigma, and support people when it matters most.

Strategic Planning

Before the content comes the thinking. I help my clients find clarity, firm up their marketing and communications strategy, plan campaigns with purpose, and make sure every activity is pointed in the right direction. That strategic foundation anchors your ongoing work. So day-to-day activity stays consistent, focused, and connected to the bigger picture.

    A bit about me.

    I’m Polly Buckland, a marketing and communications consultant based in Hampshire, working with clients across London and the South East.

    I’m a lifelong marketer. I started my career in-house at BMW UK before launching my own agency in 2013. I specialise in housing, education and VCSE sectors.

    I’m a SEND parent, so inclusion and accessibility are both professionally and personally important to me. I’m also a charity trustee for Basingstoke Mencap, which gives me an under-the-bonnet perspective for my work with the VCSE sector.
