You know how running a small business can feel like you’re doing everything, everywhere, all at once?

Winning work, juggling clients, managing people and still worrying if the sales pipeline is strong enough or the marketing’s working. ​

With over 20 years’ experience working for the founders of service-based start-ups and SMEs we understand the challenges you’re facing.​

Senior leadership. Specialist support.

We work with creative agencies and service-based SMEs across the North West of England and London – providing consultancy, fractional marketing and commercial leadership, and project execution.

Led by Founder Simon Mogford, our approach blends proven frameworks with practical advice and over twenty years’ experience supporting agencies, start-ups and SMEs from the inside.

 

Sound familiar?

We work with businesses that are good at what they do.

Growing – but not as fast as they should be.

Marketing that’s inconsistent. Sales that relies on the founder doing everything. Strategy that’s three years out of date.

That’s exactly the problem Natterjack was built to solve.

We help owner-led businesses, typically with 3-30 people and £1-5 million in turnover, to

  • Win new clients – because many businesses either don’t know who to target, don’t have a robust plan for how to do it, or fall short at conversion stage.
  • Grow the clients they already have – because the fastest route to growth is often already in front of you.
  • Get the business ready to scale – because you can’t grow if everything runs through you. And working longer, harder, faster is no longer an option.

What's the problem?

Your knowledge and experience are the things that got you where you are today. But they can easily be the things preventing you from going anywhere else.

Most clients come to us with one problem. Many stay because solving it tends to reveal a bigger opportunity.

Is your business growing without a clear direction? Are you making decisions reactively, without a shared sense of where you’re heading?

We help owner-led businesses get clear on who they’re for, where they’re going and how they’re actually going to get there – then stay involved to make sure the plan doesn’t just sit in a drawer.

Is your marketing inconsistent, unclear, or simply not producing the pipeline your business needs to grow?

We provide senior marketing leadership and specialist project support.

Building the pipeline, positioning, and market presence your business deserves.

Is your pipeline unpredictable? Does winning new work feel like it depends entirely on you, your energy, and whether you happened to follow up in time?

We build structured, repeatable sales processes that the whole team can operate — so the pipeline moves forward consistently, not just when the founder has a good week.
