Stock&Fable is Cardiff's outsourced marketing department for growing businesses. Strategy, design, content and campaigns from one team, on one monthly retainer, for less than the cost of a single hire.
Sound familiar?
A decent marketing manager costs £45,000 or more once you add pension, kit and holidays. And that is still just one person, with one set of skills.
A designer here, someone for ads there, a mate who does the website. Nobody owns the whole picture, so nothing quite joins up.
You post for a fortnight, then the day job takes over and everything goes quiet. Consistency is what makes marketing work, and it is the hardest thing to do alone.
The fix
We become your marketing department. Strategist, designer, copywriter and ads specialist, all pulling in the same direction, without a single addition to your payroll.
A guided onboarding in your own client portal, then a kickoff call. We learn your business, your customers and what success actually looks like.
A clear monthly plan built around your goals, not a generic package. You approve it, we get to work.
Every piece of work lives in your portal with its status, files and conversations. Review, approve and request changes in one click. No mystery, no chasing.
