Lewis has been (and, I hope, will continue to be) a truly valuable sounding board and source of clear, practical advice for me in my charity work. He immediately understood what my charity was about and our values, and his advice matched them perfectly. I’ve really enjoyed working with him so far, and I look forward to doing so again. More...

Lewis has provided invaluable advice on funding and strategy for ootiboo CIC. From the outset, his deep knowledge of the funding landscape was clear. His straight-talking, common-sense approach has helped us sharpen our focus and identify the right next steps to move our company forward. I would highly recommend Lewis to any organisation seeking to build a strong, sustainable future. We look forward to continue our journey with Lewis in our quest to bring real-life skills to the next generation. More...

We met Lewis at a recent construction show and had a great talk with him around the issues and challenges we have faced and our barriers to growth. He has been a great help to us in working out what our next steps will be in growing our business, what we need to get in place to make this happen and planning ahead for the future. Looking forward to a long relationship with Lewis and Underpin as we continue to progress and move forward. More...

As a committee member of our community shop (a CIC business), I reached out to Lewis for advice on some challenges we were facing, following a recommendation from a friend and fellow business owner. Lewis generously gave up his time to speak with our chairperson and me at length, helping us review our current financial situation and explore possible ways forward. His guidance was both realistic and pragmatic, providing real clarity on our options, suggesting alternative approaches, and helping us feel more confident about our next steps. Thank you Lewis, for your valuable advice and support. More...

We all need someone who can take an idea, truly listen, and turn it into something even better than we imagined - and that’s exactly what Lewis did for us. It was a real pleasure working with him on refining the new logo for our network. We wanted a members' logo that our community could use with pride, and thanks to Lewis’s creative insight and thoughtful recommendations, we now have a design that we’re genuinely proud to share. Thank you, Lewis, for helping us create something that not only looks great but also truly reflects who we are and what we stand for. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Lewis for any marketing or design work - especially if you're after something purposeful, polished, and perfectly aligned with your brand. More...

Lewis has been an amazing source of advice and support for us at It takes a City - challenging how we think and taking us on a journey to improve our efficiency as a business as we take on an exciting new project.

After just one business analysis session with Lewis, it was immediately clear how professional and insightful he is. Unlike many business coaches or consultants, Lewis brings a truly holistic, bottom-up approach that goes far beyond surface-level advice. He takes the time to understand the people, systems, and values behind the organisation, which enables him to create strategies that not only work — but last. I can highly recommend working with Lewis as his input doesn’t just create quick wins; it lays the groundwork for meaningful, long-term transformation that continues to benefit the business / charity long after he’s gone.

Lewis delivered an outstanding session for our learners - engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. The ideas generated were fantastic, and it was clear how much the group gained from the experience. What really stood out was Lewis’ ability to connect with each learner, giving them space and confidence to contribute. One learner who can find it hard to engage shared, “Lewis made it easier for me to be involved” - high praise! Another was confident enough to present their ideas to the group. Staff also commented on his enthusiasm, adaptability, and clear communication. One staff member shared, “He changed the way I think about failure.” A truly valuable and memorable session. Thank you, Lewis! More...

It was a real pleasure working with Underpin Marketing. Not only were they very clear and concise with the brief, but they also worked around me to help me be able to fulfil the job and made sure I was happy with what was required.

Reading Lewis English's book and discussing my branding with him for my small business was fantastic and very helpful. There were many aspects I had not considered before that made sense and he gave me the knowledge and confidence boost I needed to make my ideas go from something on my computer to the 'launch pad'. Thank you very much for that, I really appreciate your brilliant advice. More...

I cannot recommend Underpin Market highly enough. They were so swift at returning my emails and gave a very competitive quote. They also went above and beyond to help out with various areas I needed updating on my website and talked me through anything I didn’t understand. An all round great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. More...

Underpin Marketing takes client advocacy to an elite level. Lewis immerses himself in his clients' business, representing their marketing interests as knowledgeably as a long-time employee. I've been very pleased to collaborate with him from the US for one of his UK accounts. His ability to translate clients' strategic objectives into engaging and impactful marketing programs gives them a clear marketplace advantage. More...

Thanks so much for the feedback - really enjoyed working with you.

I've worked alongside Lewis for some time now. Always really helpful and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Rare combination of strategic planning and marketing nouse. It's not what you think you want, it's what Underpin knows you need. Nice to work with someone with a pragmatic, considered, approach rather than the usual paint-by-number approach to bringing a product to market. More...

Lewis has been really helpful assisting with our branding content. Swift and effective is exactly how I will defined his work - I would recommended for sure.

I've found Lewis to have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to marketing. I attended one of Lewis' marketing workshops last year, which really helped put things into perspective. He gives you the first steps in starting or rebranding your business. I've been muddling through with my business over the last 8 years, having jumped in feet first without having a proper plan of any kind let alone a marketing one! Underpin Marketing helps you to focus on each area and only taking the next step once you know what your plan is. I would definitely recommend Underpin to review and regenerate your marketing.

Q&As

We love helping clients discover their true potential. A good marketer should polish the business plan - and focus it on the customer. When our clients start to see the benefits of a good, solid plan - that's the best part of our job.

Many small and medium businesses don't have access to the level of marketing strategy and expertise that large businesses do. We started Underpin Marketing to bridge that gap.

We don't do long contracts, and we focus on the plan first. This means we get a solid foundation to build long-term, sustainable growth.

We can provide services online and regularly work with companies in different countries, and even different continents

We work remotely whenever we can and have updated our book to reflect these difficult times.

Mapping: We define where your business is now, not by guessing, but by chatting with people at all levels of your business to get an idea of where you are right now. This process also delivers quick wins as a benefit

Backcasting: Rather than planning forward from now, Underpin Consultants helps you define where you want to go (Vision) and then take ten backwards steps from that perfect future company to create a strategy and roadmap that gets you where you want to go.

Pathfinding: We often fin
