Tucker Marketing is me.
Tucker Marketing is me.
I’m Alex Tucker. Tucker Marketing is my independent marketing practice.
I’ve spent more than 20 years in marketing, on both the client and agency sides, working across brand, proposition, go-to-market, demand and marketing leadership.
These days, I mainly work with B2B businesses that need someone experienced to work out what matters and help make the important work happen. Sometimes that means setting the direction. Sometimes it means getting stuck into the work itself. Usually, it’s some combination of the two.

Businesses rarely come to me because everything has stopped working.
More often, something has changed.
More often, something has changed.
The business has grown but the marketing hasn’t quite caught up. Brand, demand and sales are all busy, but not necessarily pulling in the same direction. The proposition has become harder to explain. There’s an important piece of work that needs senior attention and nobody sensible wants to add another permanent hire just to get it done.
Sometimes the existing team is perfectly capable and simply needs more experienced capacity for a while.
What matters is working out what the actual problem is before deciding what kind of marketing work it needs.

I don’t sell a set of neatly separated marketing packages because the work rarely arrives that way.
An engagement might start with a go-to-market question and lead into proposition, brand or demand. It might involve joining up account-based marketing and sales activity, building a better marketing system, taking temporary leadership of a function or simply owning a piece of work that needs doing properly.
I’m comfortable working at both ends of that spectrum: setting direction and building the first useful version.
That can mean leading the work, strengthening an existing team or taking responsibility for a defined project. My agency background also means I can step in when an agency needs experienced support with strategy, senior client leadership, pitches or campaign direction.

Marketing automation is getting better at finding signals, interpreting information and taking action. That doesn’t make judgement less important. It changes where the judgement sits — and makes the quality of the decisions built into the system more consequential.

If you’ve got a marketing problem or an important piece of work the current team can’t sensibly absorb, send me an email.
We can work out whether I’m useful from there.
