You have the sales strategy, and we have the marketing function. So let's put them together.

Birkby Bridge provides strategic marketing services to empower sales teams across Executive Search, Staffing & Recruitment firms. This isn’t marketing to make you feel good (sorry, no LinkedIn dopamine hits here). Birkby Bridge is outcome based marketing underpinned by processes that drive your sales strategy guided by an experienced CMO. We wrap around your CRM to drive revenue growth and scale your business. It’s the behind-the-scenes grunt work that delivers consistent results.

Birkby Bridge’s marketing function was built within a VC environment, so we understand what adds value to an Executive Search or Recruitment business and how to scale it. We are technology agnostic, so our processes and strategies can be deployed via your existing tech stack, but we will always work with you to optimize and improve these where needed.

How it works

Step 1: Clarity

Getting to know your business and sales strategy to identify opportunities.

(1-3 months into the partnership)

Every great brand has clarity. We will work with you to define your value propositions, markets, services and target customers that will drive your sales strategy. We will audit your customer touchpoints, CRM, and wider tech stack to ensure they are correctly set up to empower your sales teams and build a consistent brand.

The end goal is to deliver a strategic proposal on how our marketing function can integrate with your sales strategy to add value to your business.

Step 2: Consistency

Integrating the marketing function into your business and CRM.

(3+ months into the partnership)

It’s time to take your brand to market by unlocking the potential of your CRM. This is one of the biggest challenges businesses face because of two problems. A lack of accountability and a lack of process.

We solve for both by aligning the marketing strategy to sales outcomes and establishing clear processes that drive the tactical delivery of marketing. This turns random one-off campaigns into long-term lead delivery machines.

Step 3: Scale

Extracting long-term value from the marketing function, CRM and brand.

(6+ months into the partnership)

We’ve been through a lot together by now and learned a lot, so let’s double down on what is working and scale it. Standardizing processes, documenting best practices, upskilling internal stakeholders and introducing automation.

This is not the fluffy side of marketing.

It's process driven, scalable and repeatable marketing that drives sales outcomes.

What we love doing

Brand

To create a great brand, there are three critical steps you need to take: Clarity, Consistency, and Scale.

These three steps define our methodology and process. It's the journey we take all our partners on to elevate your business and make it greater than the sum of its parts, which adds multiples to its value.

CRM

Your CRM plays a central role in adding value to your business and acts as the building blocks of your brand. This is the reason we focus all our efforts on two questions:

1) How can we add value to your CRM?
2) How can we extract value from your CRM?

There is value locked away in every CRM that we've worked with and we're the best in the business at unlocking this.

Outcome Based Marketing

If it's not driving your sales strategy we don't do it. This ruthless focus optimizes all the time, investment and energy that goes into supporting your business.

Data sits at the core of everything we do and informs every strategic decision to drive the correct outcomes. Sure we hit closed doors, but we fail fast and learn faster.
