Helping Online Business Owners Get Visible And Grow

Hi, I’m Markie.

With over 14 years of experience from recruitment to construction, my career has been full of variety from marketing, tendering, project management, IT, social value, strategy, innovation and everything in between. 

Now I help online business owners succeed, and make an impact, believing you can be sustainable in all senses, from eco-friendly to being able to thrive for years to come!

 

A career change

I accidentally found myself in the construction industry for 11 years, happens more often than you think. It’s a great industry packed with passionate people who love to build things and transform spaces.

It is an ever-changing industry and feeling the effects of technology and innovation.

Gaining experience in the industry and wanting to use that to support others,  genuinely feeling that the future is small and online business owners, with the speed of technological change you have the upper hand.

I’ve spent my career engaging and empowering people to create and share ideas. I love being the cheerleader that helps people do what they’re truly passionate about.

Switching to online business owners

When I was looking for a new job last year, after redundancy, I wanted to work locally.  I soon realised that local businesses were barely visible online. 

If they were visible it was an old website that didn’t represent the company or give any value or clue as to what the business did. 

After several interviews, I realised I wanted to help move more businesses online.

Some local businesses are an institution and have been around for 20 or 30 years and yet they don’t appear online. 

This is so important to me.

By providing a helping hand, coaching and even a completely outsourced service, I want you as a business owner to be visible online so your business can grow.

I worked with Markie during my time at Kier, I found her to be engaging and to demonstrate the value and ethics that Kier promoted, especially 'Forward Thinking' and additionally to be extremely competent in her role.

I worked with Markie at a Tier 1 Contractor for just over a year. She's a very friendly, helpful person who always delivers what she says she will. She's very enthusiastic and was very well thought of.

Markie was an absolute pleasure to work with. I will never forget the help and assistance she provided me at a time when I was learning the ropes within a completely new world of bidding. Markie regularly went over and above what was required of her to help, which is why I knew she was always destined to go further than her role at the time. She was also great Innovation Manager at Kier, regularly providing great ideas and updates within the industry to help us achieve those extra marks in bids. Markie genuinely takes pleasure in helping others, and am happy she has now found a role in which she can do that.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Markie on different projects mainly the nuclear sector. Markie was an incredibly hard worker, conscientious and always went the extra mile to complete all project tasks given. As well as being professional in her work Markie was a joyful person within a team ensuring spirits were kept high at all times.

Markie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is passionate, positive and driven to find the best solution to any problem. Her ability to convert ideas to implementation is commendable. Always available to offer support and guidance during times of change. An asset to any team she works with.
Georgia Thompson
Markie is bright and driven, but what makes her stand out is her genuine, passionately held beliefs that sharing knowledge and experience and challenging convention genuinely makes a difference. Wanting to make a difference and standing up for her beliefs marks her out as someone you’d want to work with.

Markie is just the best! - she was always a pleasure to work with. She was the first to push innovative ways of working and the latest tech ideas to improve the efficiency of our bid team. She was an efficient and effective team member, who was always reliable and dedicated. She always supported me when I had difficult days and helped me keep going with her abundant enthusiasm and energy. Personally, I always felt that she was destined for bigger things as she was too bright and ahead of her time to be held down by an administrative role. I have watched her grow her business 'Digital Reeds' organically over the last 6 months and am really proud to see her helping small businesses to flourish in unprecedented times. If you need media support, graphics or innovation advice to help your business succeed online, I honestly can't think of anyone better to help you achieve your business goals.

A MASSIVE thank you! I had a great strategy call with markie at digital reeds about my new business's social media. She really helped me to get an idea of what I need to organise and how to set out my content. I was worried that it would take me hours and hours each day but with my new plan I can get ahead and really set some time aside in blocks. I use social media so much personally and I now feel like I have a good idea of what I need to do for my business needs too 🙂
