Priced around your budget, not a menu
We don't sell packages. We work as your marketing team, and the plan is built around what you can comfortably invest for the next six months. Plans start from £300 a month, with a three-month start and then monthly with 30 days' notice. You own every account and asset throughout.
No pitch, no pressure. We reply personally, usually the same working day.
- Free 20-minute Discovery Call — a relaxed chat on the phone or video about your business, what you'd like to achieve and what you can comfortably invest. No pitch. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere useful.
- Free Marketing Audit, worth £300 — after the call we look at how you show up on Google, Bing and Apple, who is beating you and why, and send you a short plain-English report with the three fixes that matter most.
- Marketing Plan Session · £295 — a 90-minute working session with Derryn and Stefan and a written 90-day plan: what we'll do, in what order, and what it costs. Credited against your first month if you go ahead; yours to keep either way.
- Your plan starts — set up and fix in weeks one and two, then manage and grow every month with a one-page report.
- Quarterly review — together we look at what the plan produced and agree the next 90 days and the budget for them.

What clients say about working with us
Some of the business owners Derryn and Stefan have worked with over the years, in their own words.
“Derryn and Stefan at Hummingbird Local Marketing Specialists aren't just a marketing agency, they are an essential part of Knight & Sons. Before working with them, we were fighting for generic local jobs. Now, they ensure we get a consistent stream of high-margin projects across Bexley and Dulwich. Their local marketing experience and ability to deliver highest quality leads on my most profitable services was the best business decision we've made. I can't recommend them enough.”
“My current website was created in 2014 by Hummingbird Local Marketing Specialists. It has truly stood the test of time. Derryn and Stefan are passionate about their craft and about establishing a solid marketing foundation (Google Business Profile & Google Map Pack optimisation plus Website & Local SEO) for sustained growth. I have always received a consistent flow of quality leads via my website. They truly understand local marketing and have ensured I have been able to steadily grow my business. Thank you and give them a call today to become your marketing team.”
“We have been working with Derryn and Stefan since 2006 and have always been impressed with their professional yet personal approach. They have truly understood my business and helped me with logo and branding, and created a website that perfectly positions my business and ensured I attracted the right level of enquiries and clients.”
“Hummingbird Local Marketing Specialists are really professional, helpful and friendly. We have been working together for over 16 years now. They are an integral part of my business. They add strategic and also very technical marketing value. They are colleagues and friends.”
