Hi, I’m Lisa.

Your Outsourced Marketing Manager (and Marketing Sidekick) specialising in visitor attraction, tourism and arts marketing.

Running a visitor attraction, theatre, or cultural venue is busy work. Between wrangling events, answering emails, and keeping the show on the road, who has time to figure out marketing, too?

If you want the expertise of a senior marketing manager, but without hiring one full-time, here’s your chance to get all the strategy, support, and creative ideas you need, exactly when you need them.  As an Outsourced Marketing Manager specialising in visitor attraction marketing, tourism marketing and arts marketing, I work with organisations that want experienced marketing leadership but don’t have an in-house team.

You can call me your Fractional Marketing Manager, Outsourced Marketing Manager, or just your business best friend. I don’t mind, I’m here to make your marketing life a whole lot easier.Based in Cumbria, I work with organisations across the North West, North East and Scotland.

Creative Marketing for Visitor Attractions, Tourism and the Arts

This isn’t your average “marketing for everyone” spiel. As an Outsourced Marketing Manager for visitor attractions, tourism and arts organisations, I work with businesses who want to get organised, feel supported, and (let’s be honest) have fun along the way.

I bring nearly 25 years’ know-how from visitor attractions, arts, and destinations across the North, plus a knack for making marketing feel simple, doable, and a little bit fun.

Need an Outsourced Marketing Manager who’ll actually take marketing off your plate (not just send you homework)?
Want creative ideas, friendly reminders, and an extra pair of hands to get it all done?
Ready for your brand to show up online as brilliantly as it does in real life?

That’s what I do!

No jargon, no overwhelm, just a friendly face, a plan, and a sprinkle of magic to help you stand out, sell those tickets, and keep your community coming back for more.

How does it work?

As your Fractional or Outsourced Marketing Manager, I handle the strategy, the campaigns, the copy, the socials, the PR, and the..

“oh heck, can you just sort this?!”

moments. You focus on running an amazing attraction; I’ll make sure everyone knows about it.

Why me?

Because I’m the person clients call their “business best friend.” Down-to-earth, straight-talking, and genuinely excited to help you shine. I’ve worked in visitor attraction marketing and arts marketing for nearly 25 years, helping venues like Walby Farm Park, The Beatles Story and the Carnegie Theatre grow their audiences, win awards and find the fun in marketing again.
