Bryony is an excellent communicator and an outstanding speaker. She shares her subject matter expertise in an engaging, approachable and crystal clear way. Her methodology is unique, based on solid evidence, real world experience plus a refreshingly creative and humorous twist. More than that though, when she chooses to share her life experiences from stage you see that she’s a woman on a mission to make a difference and ensure her audiences don’t waste time or opportunities. She moved, touched and inspired me. Thank you Bryony.

The Conference was an excellent immersive learning experience. I came along with some understanding of the methodology through reading the book and attending Masterclasses. But after the Conference it’s started to permeate my business thinking in a much deeper way.

The event lived up to its name in terms of  Confidence & Clarity, not sure that conference is the right name but retreat, as suggested by another attendee isn’t either. I would describe it as a truly immersive learning event focused on our personal business priorities. That made it unlike any other conference I’ve ever attended.

The Confidence & Clarity Conference was a friendly, fun and very enlightening event addressing the real world practicalities of marketing and growing a small business

The Confidence & Clarity Conference 2018 opened my eyes more to how we can take our marketing to the next level… Probably the best conference I’ve been on to date.

The Watertight Marketing Conference was very informative and great for people with little or no real knowledge of marketing. Great presentation from Bryony which kept you enticed to learn more!

I feel that the Profit Priority Profile is the key to the Watertight Marketing approach – the catalyst to actually make things happen, creating clarity and a clear focus in terms of actions and priorities.

Refreshing to feel a part of something bigger, yet not some big corporate faceless mass! Individuals, entrepreneurs, consultants and small businesses all coming together with marketing focus in common with real sense of camaraderie.

The Profit Priority Profile is a brilliant way to not only spot gaps but communicate gaps in business and marketing.

The Confidence & Clarity Conference is a brilliant event for anyone in marketing or with marketing influence at a SME. 10/10

Real energy and desire for delegates to take learnings and thoughts to action – and a commitment to help get it done. Very friendly. Expertly organised and delivered.

The Confidence & Clarity Conference put marketing in an understandable framework for anyone with an interest in it whatever the level. It redefined for me the profile of a “marketing person” to the extent that I can now see the possibility of me becoming one in a new career. The event cut right through the nonsense that ‘s cost so much in the past.

The Profit Priority Profile tool is great, really helps me focus on where to start

Masses of superb actionable content, a must attend if you are serious about sorting your marketing. 10/10

The event was well organised and the content was well thought through, with plenty of inspirational speakers and thought provoking content to help people understand their marketing priorities. It was really useful for both marketing and business managers to get people thinking more creatively about marketing throughout the user journey.

The Profit Priority Profile has been the single best tool so far! Before any of the Touchpoint Leaks™, this gets me thinking. I’ve used it with my team too and it has brought up some great discussions as to where we put people and of course how to shift. I’d spend a whole day on this!!

Insightful and thought-provoking. I liked them mix of customer presentations and Bryony’s presentations. I liked the evening reception and plenty of chance to network. All in all, brilliant! 10/10

Some great insights into the theory and practice of marketing and how it fits into the overall objectives of a business, rather than being a single element of business strategy. Gave us lots to think about.

Interesting speakers, great networking and lots of practical actions that can put into place straight away. A way of adding clarity, focus and momentum to your marketing.

This tool was fantastic! Wasn’t at all surprised by the top red leak – 8 – and this will be a priority going forward, and, it has come at the right time as we’re looking at tweaking the website, too. It will also inform the next year’s marketing plan and strategy. Looking forward to amending the plan in accordance with the findings from the tool.

For a Masterplanner this event helped to clarify even more the leaks concerning my business. It helped me to refocus and gain confidence in thinking about the next steps and implementing them/ It was also great to bring along my boss which enabled him to understand the methodology and to see what I had been talking so passionately about these past few years. We now have alignment! The structure of the event was perfect as was the running order as well as the balance between guest speakers/sponsors. The great thing was seeing the leaks from other people who follow the methodology and to see the impact the leaks had!

I enjoyed most the exercises in thinking about solutions to a partners problem as it really got my creative ideas flowing and the workbook is priceless moving forward.

I felt it was an incredibly friendly conference and really great to be in a room full of people who all spoke the same language! It made networking easy and interesting. And, almost more importantly it made the group discussions / work in the conference sessions easier to do, even when talking to very different businesses. I learned loads and have practical actions to take away and work on!

I did come away feeling more confident and clear so the aim was achieved! A mixture of content based sessions to be applied to my business and stories from marketers.

I really enjoyed it and the fact that it was very interactive, hands-on, and allowed everyone to come up with tangible ideas and action points.

Bryony has really helped me see the once daunting sphere of marketing clearly. If you want to improve your marketing – attend!

The Profit Priority Profile is a great tool to see exactly where and how to start tweaking your leaks. Looking at the whole process can be a bit daunting so this bite size chunk is great for getting you started.

Two intense days of learning and understanding the real application of marketing.

Great chance to meet with other people in marketing or running SMEs.

Lots of useful workshops and workbooks for identifying problems and opportunities in your business.

A great event to go to with another member of your team (co-founder or colleague) to help get them to understand the importance of implementing a Watertight Marketing methodology and to get a much clearer strategy going forwards.

Extremely useful insights into marketing for small businesses.

The Profit Priority Profile is a truly useful and helpful tool, that helped us realise there is always a scope for improvement. Leaks are straight forward and easy enough to identify, plan a solution and accordingly apply into practice.

Thank you for organising such a useful conference! We found it both enjoyable and beneficial, and it has covered all the aspects we came for: ideas, knowledge, proven experience and success and networking opportunities. Confidence and Clarity – achieved!

Perfect to use as a structure for a client engagement. Plus, with all the additional resources you can access a lot of well thought out support.

Watertight Marketing is a fantastic tool that enables you to quickly create a powerful priority action plan so that I can focus clients on where they need to go.

The robust framework gets clients to focus strategically on what’s important to their business.

Peter is a refreshing change – most marketing people bang on about posting on Twitter 30 times a day, or how important one’s Facebook posts are. This workshop was the first one that actually delved into the reason BEHIND every marketing decision you make, with a goal as to what you’re trying to achieve, rather than simply a list of actions.

Peter makes marketing simple to understand and straight forward to take an action.

Very good facilitation. Peter engaged the audience well and stepped us through the leaks in a clear and concise manner. I think the Touchpoint Leak™ Assessment is a very clear and simple tool to identify areas of focus on a potentially very broad and confusing topic. I identified a number of clear actions to take away to improve my marketing approach.

Peter really knows his stuff and demystifies the marketing process for small businesses. A very worthwhile workshop.

I have found this process so enlightening. The video is a great tool. We went through this as a small team and being able to pause the video and have discussions was so beneficial as it allowed us to debate the points raised and consider some small changes which could be implemented immediately. Your feedback after analysis is encouraging and gives us some specific and very achievable goals which won’t cost us too much to implement. Thank you again, I came away feeling inspired.

“Bryony knocked it out of the park! Some of the comments from our members:

• “Practical, passionate, relevant, simple”
• “Brilliant speaker – we’ve had many… Bryony is one of the best”
• “Best marketing speaker I have ever seen (I’ve seen her twice now)”

Her fabulous content/expertise and exceptional presentation skills would be hugely appreciated and valued by any audience. If you are considering Bryony for a presentation on a small stage or big one, book her! You can thank me later.”

“Exceeded expectations. The Touchpoint Leak™  Assessment meeting with Rachael was an epiphany.”

“The Masterplan process has made me focus on exactly who I want to be working with. It’s been quite challenging but it’s really unfolded from there — and my diary has filled up, really filled up. I feel more prepared for a potential new client. There’s a much better structure to my marketing and on-boarding process by comparison to my earlier scattered approach.”

“The Watertight Marketing process very quickly helped us realise that our existing marketing wasn’t always reaching the right decision makers. That was the first eye opener for us. Joshua has been a quality individual bringing astute analysis right from the start. He has, without a doubt, changed a lot of the things we do. He made a huge difference and we are all delighted with that. His knowledge and appreciation of how the methodology works for us has been first class.”

“The Masterplan course has also helped me focus on the right kind of customers for me and my business – I have a number of different projects in progress but I now know exactly how to showcase the best ones as testimonials that will attract more of the same.”

“For me, the Watertight Marketing book was a real eye opener. It put everything into perspective marketing-wise. It’s helped with my knowledge and, in future there will be nothing random about my marketing activities. I am confident I have a strategy that will attract and support potential customers as they make their buying decision.”

“Cheryl is a bundle of energy. She brings great ideas and creativity, balanced with being able to focus the right activity in the right place for a strategic reason. That’s the trick. There’s many things we could be doing — the skill is knowing which are the right things — that’s been the value she’s added.”

“We’ve seen a steady improvement in two areas. Firstly, we are getting more enquiries from people we’ve not previously spoken to who have found our content. And, secondly our new marketing activity is also giving our existing clients much more reassurance that they are speaking to the right people.”

“I’ve been a digital marketing consultant for over a decade and NEVER encountered a book this brilliant in the industry. Every page is packed with strategies and concepts that are succinct and on target. On page one I had new implementation tactics for my business. This is a MUST READ! Bryony is a genius.”

The Watertight Marketing team recently put our small not for profit company through the Thirteen Touchpoint Leaks™. The results were amazing. They were able to see opportunities that we had never seen before and helped us to think differently about the ones we had identified. I can’t thank the team enough. We are excited about the direction we are heading and we have lots of recommendations to follow to help us get started.

“Watertight Marketing has enabled me to implement a huge change here at Face for Business – we’ve gone back to basics to ensure our bucket has no holes. The course has opened all our eyes and proved to us what we need to get right and implement in order to proceed with effective marketing.  I cannot recommend the Masterplan programme enough.”

“I highly recommend Watertight Marketing’s Lunch & Learn sessions. The great advice and suggestions I got from Bryony made this lunch was worth the fee x 100! A thoroughly thought-provoking, aha moment session, in a friendly supportive environment.”

I love being part of a collaborative community with such breadth of expertise. There really is strength in numbers, which is great when you work on your own a lot.

“Addressing the No Gateway Leak has been a revelation for me. I’ve introduced an initial workshop with clear pre-work (on my side) and outputs/results, and I have secured two new (sizeable) bits of work. This has now converted into two new, previously elusive, on-going contracts. It has shortened the sales process considerably too. On the other side of our business where I haven’t even implemented the ideas fully yet, the new way of thinking has already helped me with better sales conversations which has resulted in two new bits of work there too! That’s four new contracts within three months of starting my Watertight Marketing licensing journey on the Masterplan programme.”

“The Touchpoint Leak™ Assessment is the best tool I have ever seen in helping someone organise their marketing priorities while taking in the whole picture. I’m going to be recommending it to all my customers – it’s a must.”

“Such a helpful session today – I’m putting you on my ‘3 Amazing things that happened’ list for today. The Q&A sessions are so valuable in bringing the concepts to life and revealing just how many different ways there are to tackle a marketing challenge. More importantly, they help me encourage some divergent creative thinking with my management team. Thanks again.”

“Wow… the results have far exceeded our expectations. With fantastic help and support from Ben (our accountability chap) we’re now enjoying a ten-fold increase in photography bookings going into 2018, compared to this time last year! If you’re prepared to put the hours in then go for it, worth every penny.”

“Bryony Thomas knows her stuff!! She has a great writing style and puts a lot of effort into demystifying myths about marketing that sometimes exist. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at marketing their business!”

“This book is a must-read for anyone wishing to step up their business and achieve marketing-led growth. This book turns the theory on its head and makes them highly accessible. Bryony uses the best marketing concepts and distills them down to a simple, easy to follow and immediately implement structure that anyone could use.”

“Bryony spoke at one of my recent events and was fantastic. Although the event only allowed for a short slot, she managed to give unbelievable amounts of content, which people started to implement into their businesses immediately. Bryony’s style of speaking is clear, confident and charismatic. The entire audience were captivated during the whole presentation and the comments during an after were amazing.”

“Bryony is that rare breed of speaker that not only brings great ideas wrapped up in a compelling delivery, but also backs it up with case examples and actionable insights. Its clear she has a wealth of strategic marketing experience and feedback from anyone seeing her present is excellent. Hire her if you want a no-nonsense, real-world speaker that can inspire an audience to improve their marketing and take action.”

“What makes the Watertight Marketing approach stand out from the crowd of fluffy marketeers is direct linkage of effort to return, all marketing activity is carried out because it leads to improved sales, Bryony’s no nonsense approach was a revelation and a relief. I can not praise Watertight Marketing highly enough and thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs an expert marketeer on their side.”

“Bryony’s Watertight Marketing methodology has been invaluable for our company. This isn’t your traditional marketing theory. This is a company wide approach that gets to the root of all aspects of a business. Thank you!”

“We were lucky enough to book Bryony as the headline speaker at Richmond Expo at Twickenham Stadium. She held a captivating 90 minute practical workshop for several hundred attendees. She is without doubt one of the best speakers we have had over the 7 years that we have organised this event. A seminar with Bryony Thomas would definitely be the highlight of any business event.”

“Bryony recently delivered a presentation at our National Conference, to an audience of over 180 delegates from the housing support sector. Her talk was nothing short of excellent, getting the attendees to actively participate in the session and produce a clear action plan that they could start implementing the next day.”

“Bryony was totally engaging from the start. Great opening, which led to a no-nonsense strategy for a watertight marketing campaign. Bryony challenges conventional ideas of sales pipeline and sale ‘funnel’ concepts in a clear and concise way.”

“Bryony is practical, knowledgeable and results-focussed. As a speaker, she’s engaging and enthusing, communicating her marketing expertise well, and inspiring business owners to get cracking and start doing simple things that will generate business!”

“Bryony is a not only a first class speaker and author she is also a first class facilitator when it comes to learning about Watertight Marketing. In fact what Bryony delivers is less about marketing and more about Watertight Execution in business. It was joy to work with Bryony who brings, energy, passion and real know how about how to build and retain business.”

“Bryony has great energy, structure and sense of humour! This ensured superb engagement throughout my Academy for Chief Executives member workshop. A practical approach with everyone going away with light bulb moments and actions to implement within their business. A great combination of knowledge, content and delivery worked and is highly recommended!”

“This is more of a workbook than a read. For me it gives a clear path and a structure for devising marketing strategy and implementing the tactics needed for real growth.”

“I’ve tried to read several books on Marketing and I’m yet to finish one… Until now. Watertight Marketing is written brilliantly with nice illustrations and useful examples. Bryony creates an example company for you to follow and relate to throughout the book and it’s suggestions. This book is an absolute asset and has not left my desk since I purchased it last year.”

“Without doubt this is the best book on small business marketing I have read. A no-nonsense, honest to goodness, blueprint that any small business can implement and improve their bottom line. It cuts through the jargon and delivers something that can be used in the real world.”

“10 minutes with Bryony on a Q&A call as part of Masterplan unblocked a pricing presentation issue I’d been wrestling with for over four years!”

“An hour with Bryony is better for de-cluttering your brain and seeing a clear path than two days in a health spa!”

“One of the tweaks that I made as a direct result of completing Module 1 of the Marketing Masterplan landed me a client that covered the costs of the course three times over.”

“It’s hard to express how good I think the Marketing Masterplan is. It’s really brilliantly illuminating, focused and founded in things we can actually do. And, the honesty, generosity and integrity of Bryony’s approach is truly refreshing.”

“We doubled both turnover and profit in 12 months by following Bryony’s Marketing Masterplan. Joining the online course working through the book in more detail, with weekly Q&A calls with the author, Bryony Thomas was without doubt the best marketing decision I’ve ever made.”

“Doing the Marketing Masterplan with Watertight Marketing has been the best business investment I’ve ever made. We used the materials to brief our sales team, and as a direct result landed a game changing contract for our business.”

“It was a really structured approach to marketing that meant that we could organise our thoughts, to see the bigger picture. From this, we were able to break down long-term goals into specific actions that we can actually put into practice. As a result business grew three-fold within 12 months, and we’ve now hit £5m turnover.”

“I have been organising events for the CIM for around six years and I can honestly say that Bryony is one of the best presenters I have had the pleasure of working with. As well as being a very engaging speaker, personally I find her approach to small business marketing has amazing clarity and borders on the ‘genius’.”
