In recent years I have worked with various SME businesses as a mentor and right arm for the internal marketing personnel, guiding, creating structure, planning and just being there to talk to. Quite often I've found the person in charge of marketing can feel a little 'out on a limb', especially in the WFH climate we live in or where the business has various geographical locations, so having an ear to bend or a catch up each week, builds confidence and then delivers results.
