Brand-First Marketing Consultancy

Bridging the Gap. Elevating the Impact.

What do we help with?

We are a strategic brand-first marketing consultancy based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, acting as the strategic layer most organisations are missing - aligning leadership ambition, internal behaviour, brand direction, and marketing performance into one focused, measurable system.

Marketing consultant

Alignment that speaks to the C-Suite.

When businesses grow, execution becomes busier, but busier doesn’t always mean results.

As a strategic partner, we sit at the centre of your ecosystem, ensuring all outputs directly link to your business goals whilst showcasing this through our JUIN Impact Matrix. Our matrix showcases exactly how every element is feeding into those goals, what’s providing a ROI and what needs revisited - a complete birds-eye view of your brand and marketing activity that talks the same language as your C-Suite.

We provide senior strategic direction that aligns how a business thinks, behaves, communicates, and grows.

Brand and marketing aligned to business objectives

Internal behaviour aligned to external positioning

Clear oversight across teams, agencies, and partners

FAQs.

  • We are a brand-first marketing consultancy providing senior strategic direction to ensure your brand, marketing, and leadership decisions are fully aligned with your business goals. We sit at the centre of your business - connecting leadership, internal teams, agencies, and partners - so activity becomes intentional, consistent, and measurable.

  • Unlike a traditional agency that focuses primarily on execution, JUIN operates as the senior strategic layer above activity. We don’t sell campaigns, content volume, or short-term tactics - we align leadership ambition, brand direction, marketing priorities, and commercial objectives before anything is delivered. We guide and oversee internal teams and specialist partners to ensure every decision is intentional, accountable, and commercially aligned. In short, agencies execute; JUIN ensures what gets executed is the right thing, for the right reason, at the right time.

  • JUIN works with ambitious founder-led, scaling, or established businesses where growth, complexity, or change has created a need for greater clarity and alignment. We’re best suited to organisations that value senior strategic thinking and want marketing to operate as a measurable growth driver. We’re not built for businesses looking purely for low-cost execution or quick wins without foundations; we partner where there is ambition, accountability, and appetite for long-term impact.

  • That’s often exactly where JUIN adds the most value. We don’t replace your in-house team or external agency - we align and strengthen them. JUIN acts as the senior strategic layer that ensures everyone is working toward the same commercial goals, with clear priorities, defined measures of success, and consistent brand direction. We provide oversight, clarity, and accountability so your existing teams can perform at a higher level, with greater focus and confidence.

  • We offer both ongoing strategic retainers and defined project-based engagements. Many clients partner with us long-term for senior direction, oversight, and accountability as their business grows, while others engage us for focused strategic work such as brand positioning, marketing strategy, audits, or go-to-market planning. Whether ongoing or project-based, our approach remains the same: clarity first, alignment always, and measurable impact throughout.

  • Our onboarding process is structured and intentional, designed to create clarity before momentum. We begin with deep business immersion - understanding your leadership ambition, commercial goals, internal operations, and existing brand and marketing activity. From there, we align priorities, define success in measurable terms, and establish a clear strategic direction before any activation begins.

  • Yes - repositioning and brand refresh projects are a core part of our work. We go beyond surface-level visual updates to reassess your positioning, audience clarity, messaging, differentiation, and internal alignment, ensuring your brand reflects both your business ambition and how the business truly operates. Whether you need refinement or a more significant reset, we ensure the outcome is strategically grounded, commercially aligned, and built to support long-term growth.

  • JUIN is not an execution-heavy agency, but we ensure execution is strategically aligned and commercially accountable. We provide senior direction and oversight, guiding internal teams and trusted specialist partners so activity is delivered with clarity, consistency, and purpose. Where needed, we coordinate and manage execution through our trusted partners - but our primary role is to ensure what gets executed is the right thing, aligned to your business goals, and measured for impact.

  • Not at all, many businesses come to JUIN knowing something feels misaligned but struggling to articulate exactly what. Our role is to bring clarity first: understanding your business goals, identifying where gaps or inefficiencies exist, and defining what truly needs attention before any action is taken. You don’t need the answers - that’s what we’re here to help uncover.

  • No, JUIN works with ambitious founder-led and scaling businesses as well as more established organisations. What matters isn’t size alone, but complexity and ambition. If marketing activity is increasing, decisions feel fragmented, or leadership wants greater clarity and accountability, that’s where we add value. Our tiered structure allows us to provide the right level of senior strategic support, whether you’re building foundations or embedding long-term leadership.
