Colley Raine

What Colley Raine does

Colley Raine & Associates is a private, founder-owned freelance marketing agency established in 2018 and headquartered in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom. The firm operates as a network of associates rather than a traditional agency hierarchy, delivering marketing services to small businesses and charities primarily in the West Kent region. Its service catalog spans eight core categories — social media, marketing communications, brand and storytelling, fundraising, business development, events, ethical giving advisory, and CRM — supplemented by tactical add-on modules including SEO, web design, PR, market research, bid writing, design, email campaigns, and creative photo, audio, and video production.

The business is built around an hourly, pay-as-you-go billing model with no retainers and no markups on third-party services, positioning the company as a flexible, cost-transparent alternative to traditional full-service agencies. There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or app; the company delivers services directly through its associate network, charging only for hours worked. Founder Sarah Raine leads the business with FCIM credentials and 25+ years of marketing and fundraising experience; Flic Roberts serves as Associate Director. The firm holds no external funding, has no disclosed revenue, and has not undergone any mergers, acquisitions, or ownership changes. Geographic operations are concentrated in West Kent, with no global footprint claim.
