Supporting Local Businesses and Community Growth in March, Cambridgeshire

Working with councils, partners and community initiatives

Supporting local businesses and community growth in March and Fenland.

I'm Kerrie, and I work as a marketing and communications partner based right here in March, Cambridgeshire, supporting local and rural businesses across Fenland and the surrounding area. I help business growth, visibility and engagement through practical, accessible marketing, grounded in local knowledge, real world experience and an understanding of the challenges facing SMEs. My role isn't to sell trends or tactics, it's to help businesses communicate clearly, build trust and make better use of the support and opportunities available to them.

Rooted in Fenland, built on trust

I've delivered marketing and communications support across a wide range of local sectors, working directly with business owners, community initiatives and regional partners. My work is rooted in long term relationships, trust and a genuine understanding of how local businesses operate, particularly in rural and mixed economy areas like Fenland.

Working with partners

A partner, not a replacement

I'm well suited to working alongside local authorities, economic development teams, business support providers and community initiatives.

I'm comfortable working alongside existing providers and in house teams, adding capacity where it's needed rather than duplicating what's already there.
