Read what our clients say about working with us.
We’ve really enjoyed working with Apricus as part of our strategic growth planning. Clare carried out an independent review of our marketing activity and helped us create a clear, practical plan for 2026. Her experience and insight have already added real value and we’re now looking forward to continuing to work together as we move into the next phase. Thank you.
We brought Apricus in to do a full marketing work up of our company, as well as design work for a new company website. Clare came in to our office already knowing a lot about us (she did her homework!). She asked very knowledgable questions, listened attentively at what we wanted, and provided us with a detailed report and marketing audit. The new designs were spot on - and the audit was super helpful and precise. We would HIGHLY recommend Apricus, and happily work with them again.
I would highly recommend Apricus if you’re looking to up your marketing game, need someone to push you forward, and want to work with some one who will really understand your business goals.
Clare mentored me for just under a year which I found really beneficial in helping to develop my marketing skills. Apricus Marketing is a wonderful and lovely company, I'd 100% recommend them to help with any of your marketing/business needs!
Apricus provided us with fantastic insight into what is happening in the broader construction industry, where the opportunities for growth lie and how to create a solid marketing strategy to tackle these. We continue to work together on the tactical plan and its implementation.
Apricus have recently worked with us on a strategic review of the UK bedding market and an audit of our current marketing activities. Their work is to a very high standard and provided clear insight into the market and opportunities for us to develop our brand and marketing strategy further. They delivered the work on time and to budget and are easy to communicate with. We look forward to continuing to work with them to implement the recommendations made in the review.
Clare is a driven Strategic Marketer and experienced Business Development Manager. While working together, Clare devised a marketing plan to promote a range of highly technical products which I released for sale straight from R&D, this range of products is still successful to this day. Clare has the ability to not only spot an opportunity to grow business but also drive it through to completion.
I came to Clare as I am launching a new business. I have a lot of ideas but unsure of which to prioritise, and which may need to be discarded altogether. I also wanted a second opinion to see if there was anything I had overlooked and should be considering. Over an hour or so I talked through myself, my business and my target market. Clare then managed to digest my scatter gun comments and ideas. She produced an extremely useful report summarising a recommended market strategy. The strategy included some constructive feedback towards things which Clare felt wouldn't work, which I found equally useful. I will definitely be coming back to Clare for further support as I look to implement the strategies recommended.
Clare brings great clarity to our strategic marketing, whilst also delivering at a very practical level. She is a joy to work with and is not afraid to challenge our thinking - much needed! I have introduced her to many of my clients and will continue to do so.
I found your review helpful in particularly recognising our achievements over the year and supporting my priorities for next.
When you're fortunate to be in the purple patch of a high growth period you can often find yourself all consumed with 'feeding the frenzy'. This means vital new starts & spin out probes can be deprived of oxygen to create their own identity, structure & momentum. With a clear-sighted dedicated partner like Clare at Apricus, structure and focus rapidly crystalises. Using her wide experience, she provides a digestible path forward, all generously sprinkled with ideas and challenges to enhance the journey. It inspires teams to come together, and stay the course, reform to fit the opportunity and find energy. She adds centrifugal force to new starts and so will become a vital friend to our innovation pipeline. A valuable playmaker that has made a difference to our first project together, immediately.
The meticulous nature of Clare's approach to marketing can't be spoken of highly enough. You'll struggle to find more effective marketing at such good value in this region.
Working with Apricus was easy. Clare’s relevant experience of our industry combined with her strategic ability to help us create a new proposition meant that they were the obvious choice for marketing support. We are delighted with the results.

Clare has a structured and driven approach, which allowed us to reorganise and redirect our strategy over a very short period of time. She is very much a team player and her collaborative approach led to some great work and thinking which ultimately delivered results.
I have been working with Clare at Apricus Marketing for 1 year. During this time, I have gained invaluable insights, knowledge and confidence in my marketing journey as a Marketing Assistant.
