I’m Richard Taylor, an independent marketing consultant with over 40 years of experience – working with businesses of all sizes, across all sectors, and on both client and agency sides.
I now mostly focus on helping small businesses in Scotland to get more from their marketing – and using AI too. I offer support that’s clear, collaborative, and tailored to your business.
I’ve been doing this since long before the internet. But I’ve never stopped learning from my clients and how technology can bring greater efficiency.
Take a look at some of the services I offer.
Every business is different, so I don’t follow a fixed formula. I take time to understand your goals, your challenges, and how your business works – then build a marketing approach that fits.
Whether you need strategic thinking, hands-on support, or both – I’ll meet you where you are.
AI tools can help small businesses do more with less. I’ll help you identify where AI can save time, reduce admin, and improve your marketing – without the hype.
Whether you’re curious or cautious, I’ll show you what’s worth trying and what’s not.
Blogs, emails, social posts, and short videos – I help you create the kind of content your audience actually wants to engage with.
I also script write, video and edit content quickly and professionally – especially for social and AI-enabled platforms.
I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes, from global brands to small charities. But these days, I choose to work with a small number of clients – so I can focus on the work that really matters: helping you grow. What makes me different?
I don’t sell hype. I give honest advice, based on what’s appropriate for your business – not what’s trending.
I’ve done the work. I’ve sat where you sit, I know the pressures, and I understand what it’s like to run your own business and what marketing looks like in the real world.
I stay current. While others resist change, I’ve embraced it – especially with AI. I’ll help you see how it can save time, simplify your workload, and improve results.
I’m hands-on. I don’t just deliver strategy and walk away. I can help manage, implement, train, or support – whatever gets the job done.
You’ll never feel like a number. I work directly with you – not through layers of account managers or jargon-heavy presentations.
If you’re a small business owner or marketer who wants clear advice, reliable support, and someone who’s as committed to your success as you are – I’d love to help.
