Get Unsmudged, Clear Focused Marketing That Drives Growth Not Just Noise
“We’re investing in marketing, but it’s not delivering the growth we expected.”
“We’re overwhelmed by choices and need clarity on where to focus.”
“Our messaging isn’t connecting with the right audience or driving results.”
“Our efforts feel scattered, and we’re not moving forward as quickly as we should.”
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Smudged, we don’t do generic marketing plans or surface-level fixes. We get to the root of what’s holding your brand back and build a strategy that actually works.

We dig deep to identify what’s really holding you back. From misaligned messaging to team silos, we’ll pinpoint where your brand could be delivering more value.

No fluff. No rigid retainers. Just smart, flexible marketing that works.
Flexible ways to work.

Hands-On, Not Just Advice.
We don’t just tell you what to do we work alongside your team to execute, optimise, and refine your strategy as you grow.
At Smudged, we work with founder-led B2B brands, whether you’re a startup, scale-up, or established company, who need to balance brand and demand to drive real, sustainable growth. If your marketing isn’t delivering results, your messaging isn’t landing, or your sales and marketing efforts feel disconnected, we help you cut through the noise and create a strategy that builds both visibility and commercial impact.
Smudged exists because marketing should do more than just “look good” or “generate leads.” It should drive real growth, build momentum, and make your brand unmissable.
We’ve spent 20+ years inside B2B brands, not just advising from the sidelines, but leading marketing, brand, and commercial strategies from the inside. And we saw the same frustrations over and over again:
We built Smudged to change that.
We help founder-led startups, scale-ups, and growing B2B brands align their brand, marketing, and sales so they,drive sustainable growth, shortening sales cycles, and making sure you’re not just seen, but chosen.
We don’t do fluff, vanity metrics, or one-size-fits-all playbooks. We cut through the noise, get to the root of what’s holding you back, and create marketing that delivers real, measurable results.
Marketing should be as commercial as it is creative. We make sure it is.
If your brand, messaging, and teams aren’t working for you, it’s time to change that.

Smudged helped me to work through my story to help me focus more on what I was offering to allow me to understand where I was different to other consultants in my sector, I found them easy to work with, insightful, straight talking and clearly experts in their field.
Smudged was a joy to work with, full of infectious enthusiasm, lots of great ideas and extremely hard working. A very keen and insightful observer of people and quickly able to grasp what needs to be done. Would recommend Smudged to any company that is serious about marketing.
I have consulted with Caroline several times and I’m always impressed with the breadth and depth of her knowledge and her genius in understanding the current market landscape. If you’re looking to market your business the right way and get results, I highly recommend you speak with Smudged.
