  Sally Bennett Marketing & Communications

  From the peace and quiet of my neat little home set up, I can think creatively to enable me to support my clients with copy-writing, website content, social media, direct/print marketing, events and trade shows.I support those companies who don't necessarily have the time or big budgets to market themselves and their products. I work from my home office or in the client's.I apply a no-nonsense practical and flexible approach to getting the message heard using: * Fresh, engaging website content* Regular social media posts * Planning and organisation for exhibitions, trade shows and events* Good old fashioned direct marketing and telemarketing* Networking The above are just some of the basic tools I use to communicate with new and existing customers.Among most recent projects, I have created and implemented a detailed marketing strategy for Amber Translations in Taunton - a translations and interpreting company with a worldwide network of experienced language specialists. And new for 2016 - I have joined The Pride - Bhubesi Pride Foundation - a charitable organisation which assembles teams of volunteers from all over the world for coaching expeditions using sport - in particular, rugby - as a tool for education and development in Africa.My role as Volunteer and Stakeholder Relationship Manager includes volunteer management, business development, sales and marketing.
