About Jim Connolly

Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve worked with thousands of small business owners worldwide, since starting my marketing business 30-years ago.

I’m best-known for using creative marketing, to help small business owners make high-profit sales, without them spending a penny on advertising or promotion.

About Jim Connolly, marketing blog

When news of my creative marketing success with small business owners got international coverage, I started to attract enquiries from people, who worked in massive companies. They wanted to see how my expertize could help them. Including people from; Disney, Barclays Bank, Microsoft, Twitter, HSBC, Chase de Vere and many more.

Why is working with small business owners my passion?

Simple.

When I help the marketing team at a massive company achieve a major result, it makes them look good, but that’s it.

However: when I help small business owners make that kind of breakthrough, it can radically improve their quality of life.

I achieve these amazing (and exciting) results by sharing my most powerful, creative marketing strategies with my clients, and then showing them exactly what they need to do, to achieve ongoing results. Then, we get to work on it. It’s really exciting! You can find out more here.

My small business clients hire me because they see the value of receiving top-level, professional marketing help they can trust, for a fraction of the market rate.

I forgot to mention.

My fees for working with small business owners are no higher than that local, unknown marketing guy in your town.

How come?

Simple!

Big companies pay me big fees. And because working alongside small business owners is where my heart is, I subsidise my fees; making them low enough for the majority of small businesses, freelancers and solopreneurs.

Other amazing clients

I attract a wonderful blend of clients. For example, 2 Grammy Award winners, Nile Rodgers and Bruce Elliott-Smith. I also had the privilege to work with the late, great Keith ‘Keef’ Levene over a period of 18-months. I’d already been a huge fan of Keef’s long before he became a client, and then a good friend. This incredible man co-founded The Clash and PIL Public Image Limited.

I’ve written about marketing for Microsoft and my work has been referenced in dozens of the world’s best known media outlets.

I’ve been featured by; The BBC, ABC News, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, Market Watch, CNET, MSN, All Things Digital, CBC, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Register and other internationally respected outlets.
