McDonough Marketing Communications marks first year with Sunderland Software Centre move

North East marketing professional Natasha McDonough is marking her first year in business by expanding her marketing operation to new office space in Sunderland Software Centre.

Securing her twentieth client, Natasha is now focussing on growing her in-house team at McDonough Marketing Communications and hopes the Software Centre will be the perfect vehicle to facilitate the plans.

Natasha, who has enjoyed a marketing career in London, Sydney and Los Angeles, explained: “McDonough Marketing Communications was set up to be an agile, responsive marketing business.

“The model I adopt is to call upon a network of the very best professionals to draw upon the skills my client needs at any given time.

“I have a trusted and highly experienced team of SEO, PPC, branding, PR and media specialists. It’s a business model that my clients appreciate as they see results and enjoy the fact that I manage the whole process for them.”

Working with a range of clients across many sectors, not least software and technology companies, McDonough Marketing Communication’s most recent clients include Fort Bullion, a Gold Bullion eCommerce company, as well as developing a marketing strategy for growing technology company, Excelpoint.

Ian Brown, Managing Director of Excelpoint says “Natasha’s engaging style and ability to demonstrate her depth of knowledge of the tech industry has allowed us to kick start our project with confidence.

“The innovative business model that Natasha offers means that Excelpoint benefits from someone that can manage the entire process – just like I’d expect by hiring a permanent in house marketing director, we get the benefit of one person managing many. We’re looking forward to increased growth over the next year through implementing Natasha’s strategy.”

Natasha added: “While I am keen that the business always operates like this, the rapid growth I have seen has made it important for me to increase capacity, and so an office move enables me to bring on a permanent member of the team to support me across all projects.”
