About Us
Everything Starts With A Marketing Agency.
Hi, I’m Miles Phillips, founder of Miles Marketing, based in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire.
With over 30 years of marketing experience, including working with major brands such as adidas, Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill, I now help established SMEs across the UK improve their marketing strategy and get the right work done.
I work directly with my clients, offering practical support across marketing strategy, SEO, content, websites, email marketing, social media and lead generation.
My values are at the heart of how I work: Giggle, Pioneer, Tenacity, Valiant, Curious and Impartial. That means bringing fresh ideas, asking the right questions, sticking with challenges and always giving honest advice that is in the best interests of your business.
Whether you need an experienced marketing consultant, outsourced marketing support or simply a clearer plan, I can help you make your marketing more focused, effective and easier to manage.
Let's make marketing memorable.
