the smart resource network

smart resource is a network of experienced, independent consultants who collaborate to create marketing and communications support for clients across the UK and Europe. Support services include brand strategy, digital media, public affairs, communications coaching, corporate responsibility and marketing procurement.

smart resource can offer services to companies often precluded from hiring external support during periods of flux, change or growth due to the cost of financing the large overhead of most consulting companies. The group’s aim is to produce the highest possible quality of work with dedicated, senior people focusing on specific business needs. Clients can hire one person, or a ‘virtual team’ depending on their requirements at the time. 

In hiring smart resource consultants, clients can be assured that the experienced people who win their business, work on their business.
