Built on experience.
Driven by results.
Calibre Marketing has been helping businesses grow for 25 years. We are a virtual agency of marketing specialists, spread across the South East, with deep sector knowledge and a genuine commitment to the clients we work with.
Started on two sheets of A4. Still flying 25 years later.
Calibre was founded by Martyn after he woke in the middle of the night with an idea. He wrote it down on two sheets of A4: the name, the model, the first clients. The name comes from the hot air balloon he flew with his father at the time.
That handwritten plan became a professional marketing agency that has now worked with clients across more than 20 sectors, many of them for over a decade. Two of those early prospective clients are still customers today.
We are a virtual agency, spread across the South East of England. That means we stay close to our clients, keep our overheads low and pass that efficiency on. We are not a big agency with a big price tag. We are a focused team with broad experience and a straightforward approach to getting marketing done well.
Impartial advice
We are not tied to any one marketing discipline. We recommend what is right for your business, not what suits our revenue model.
Real people, real experience
Many of our team have run their own businesses. We understand the decisions you are making because we have made them too.
Transparent pricing
Fully costed proposals with no hidden surprises. You know exactly what you are getting before you commit.
Long-term relationships
Many of our clients have been with us for more than ten years. We measure success by how well your business grows, not by how many new clients we sign.
What makes working with Calibre different
We do not try to be everything to everyone. We focus on doing a small number of things exceptionally well.
Full-picture thinking
We look at the whole customer journey first: objectives, gaps, audience and data. The marketing plan follows from that, not the other way around.
Sector knowledge that runs deep
Over 25 years we have built genuine expertise in more than 20 sectors. We come up to speed quickly and we understand the audiences you are speaking to.
An extension of your team
We work alongside your existing team, not separately from it. Many of our clients treat us as their outsourced marketing department.
Flexibility built in
Our virtual model means we are responsive, adaptable and cost-effective. No big agency overhead, no unnecessary delays.
