About the speaker

Kaye King

Having worked in marketing agencies for many years with clients such as Hilton Worldwide, Nationwide Building Society, Homesense and The Welsh Assembly Government, I set up Quercus Marketing in 2016. My mission is to help small business owners manage their own marketing without fear and without over-spending. Marketing means so many things to different people, and in an increasingly complex and multi-channel world the whole thing can seem overwhelming for a sole trader or micro business owner. But it doesn't have to be painful. With the right support you can navigate the minefield, make sense of the jargon and get a grip on your marketing. Wherever you are in your business journey, the combination of your passion for your business and my marketing experience is a powerful thing. Believe me, it's not complicated or difficult.
