My name is Michelle Passfield.
And I am Marketing withMichelle!

I am a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualified professional, with expertise in marketing planning, strategy, communications and business development.

I launched my Southend-based marketing business, withMichelle in 2019, providing strategic marketing planning advice and skills training for small businesses. I pride myself on giving each client the clarity they need to market and grow their business profitability.

My extensive marketing career spans over two decades. I have worked in both the public and private sectors, spending 15 years with London-based international law firms and a marketing agency. I have also worked for Anglia Ruskin University and as a senior marketing communications adviser for a local authority.

My vast experience also includes organising and hosting events, from training seminar programmes, to conferences, exhibitions and networking. I also manage corporate hospitality events, curator talks and private views at galleries and museums in London, including the Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the National Point Gallery, the V&A and the Globe Theatre.

To complement these skills, I recently launched my new withMichelle event series that provides a unique opportunity to connect with people. Plus, a withMichelle collective of marketing specialists with the aim to optimise our services for clients throughout Essex.

Why do I do what I do?

I feel I have a responsibility to provide people with the right marketing advice and training. I thrive on helping businesses succeed with their marketing. And because …

I love marketing!
