Why hire a B2B Marketing Consultant?

This means you get the benefit of a senior executive's wisdom, but tailored to your specific needs and budget.

This model is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses, enabling them to leverage top-tier marketing leadership whilst keeping costs under control

It's a win-win situation – you get a boost in marketing expertise without the financial commitment of a full-time senior role.

Why hire Richard Lucas?

With over 20 years of experience in senior Marketing, Digital, and Commercial media sectors, I've had the privilege of working with big names like The Guardian Media Group, Global Radio, Yahoo!, and Microsoft. A decade ago, I decided to take a leap of faith and step out of the corporate world, founding Discerning Digital, a digital transformation consultancy, and later, Eleven Marketing. I also co-founded the Founder Revenue Academy (FRA), an online portal that equips early-stage founders with the necessary commercial tools to grow their startups.

I've had the opportunity to guest lecture at MMU on Digital Transformation and have been honoured to sit on the judging panels for various industry award bodies. Most recently, I contributed to the University of Washington's New Venture Competition 2023.

I firmly believe in the power of integrating marketing, digital, and sales to create scalable lead generation systems. My passion lies in inspiring others to pursue their startup dreams, and I'm committed to helping them turn those dreams into reality.
