Trusted Marketing

What Trusted Marketing does

Trusted Marketing is a senior commercial marketing consultancy based in England and Wales, founded and operated as a solo practice by Adam Looker. The firm serves growing professional services and specialist firms (typically 5–50 people) that require senior marketing expertise without committing to a full-time hire, addressing founder-led marketing decisions and the gap between agency execution and in-house strategy.

The firm offers two core, productised services. The Build product is a fixed-price £5,000 website engagement using the Astro static site framework, deployed on Cloudflare edge infrastructure and integrated natively with HubSpot CRM, delivering sub-two-second load times and structured data for AI search visibility. The Advisory product is a retained senior marketing engagement priced from £2,000 per month on a rolling quarterly basis, covering pipeline health, CRM review, marketing-to-sales alignment, channel prioritisation, content direction, AI readiness, and team oversight. Both services are delivered directly by Adam with no account managers or junior staff, and clients own all code and content on handover.

Commercially, Trusted Marketing is a privately held, founder-owned limited company with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and a single full-time practitioner. Revenue is generated through one-off build fees and recurring advisory retainers, with pricing and scope fixed upfront and no resellers, distributors, or marketplace presence. Customer acquisition runs through 30-minute discovery calls supported by content-led organic and referral channels, with the firm targeting a deliberately small client base across professional services, healthcare, specialist trades, and technology verticals.
