Cover Story · Spotlight

Our November cover star built The Marketing Depot on a refreshingly unfashionable idea: marketing should make sense, get done, and actually move the business. Three years in, growing companies are handing her their entire marketing department — and keeping her.

Editor's Letter · Issue Nº 04

November doesn't wait, and neither should you. There's something about this month — the clocks back, the year narrowing to a point — that makes the sharpest people move. This issue is built for that energy. We've got everything you need to hit the golden quarter running: a clear-eyed look at what the Autumn Budget actually means for small firms, the full story on Small Business Saturday on the 5th of December, and Tracy Dixon of The Marketing Depot on the cover, electric as ever. Every face in this edition is someone you'll want to know. The year isn't over. Not even close. See you in there.
