Take back control of your marketing with our Collective of experts in your pocket.
Coaching that helps you stand out in a sea of sameness.
With strategy. Not spin.
Your unique purpose and values are your biggest differentiators. There's no one offering what you do with these same attributes.
The Marketing Collective coaching programmes help you get to the heart of what makes you different and confidently communicate that in ways that create a magnetism to your brand.
Marketing is about pulling, not pushing. It's about attracting not chasing.
You can't do that by implementing all the tactics, especially if you're on a mission to create a business of value. It starts with strategy.
You've got the talent. We've got the pathway...
Virtual Mentorship to support your marketing journey
Online self-serve programmes, coupled with twice monthly coaching to help you build or rebuild your brand, design a seamless customer experience and amplify your presence to sell.
Leverage Marijke's 25+ years experience one-on-one
I have front row seats to my clients building their dream businesses, and it couldn't be more fulfilling. Private coaching is like having a CMO in your pocket (without the cost of a CMO in your pocket!).
Connect with causes and communities that matter to you
As a marketing specialist with over 25 years experience and a charity founder for over 15 years, I've combined my passions to help small businesses connect with causes and communities that matter to them.
Meet The Collective
Build your brand. Boost your marketing. Back yourself.
Unlike other programmes or coaches, who may focus on just one area of marketing, with The Marketing Collective, you get access to all of our specialist marketing partners, across all major marketing disciplines.
Ex-corporate and agency leaders, we left big business to help entrepreneurs just like you!
You'll be mentored by Founder, Marijke to create a strategy and a system that works for your business. You'll also have direct access to all our marketing specialists and their toolkits, so you can execute your strategy with confidence.
We lend our collective capabilities as industry experts, and as business owners ourselves, to help you develop and grow your marketing mastery in-house.
Or, if you're looking to outsource, you know what good looks like before you part with your hard-earned money.
You're great at what you do, but marketing feels like a minefield.
Get yourself a CMO-experienced mentor!
Introducing The Marketing Collective Mentorship
You didn't get in business to be a slave to the algorithm, but that's exactly where so many small business owners find themselves. Needlessly creating content, only for it to fall flat once you put it out into the world.
Accessing wider networks and audiences, requires strategy. It requires clarity and consistency, across multiple channels.
When you have strategic foundations in place, marketing shouldn’t be as hard as you’re making it.
Enter The Marketing Collective Mentorship...
Clarity, confidence and streamlined systems to help you reach larger audiences, with marketing messages and campaigns that build connection and conversion.
Here's how it works...
✔️ Access 25+ hours of coaching and training materials to build (or rebuild) your brand, deliver a seamless customer experience that drives repeat business, and develop channel and content strategies that connect and convert.
✔️ Be coached, not just by one Mentor, but by our entire Collective - you'll access our best marketing minds twice a month. Ask questions or be spotlighted for tailored, deeper support.
✔️ Learn how to develop your marketing from a place of strategy and consistency, and set up the systems that help you deliver your marketing with more ease and flow.
✔️ Build in-house capabilities across all major marketing channels - set up and optimise your website, socials and emails, while developing content in a way that simplifies and streamlines.
✔️ Be supported by our community of marketing specialists, but also other purpose-led small businesses. Getting stuck? Access our Facebook Group 24/7 for support.
Investment: From NZ$347 +GST per month (minimum 6 month subscription).
Hi, I'm Marijke
I’m founder of The Marketing Collective, Marketing Coach to Ethical Entrepreneurs, Director of a Cambodian Children’s Charity, Dara Children’s Trust. But my best job yet (no offence) is being a Mum!
I led corporate marketing functions for nearly two decades before finally aligning my values with what I do on a daily basis - helping purpose-led people and businesses just like you, thrive. After all, it’s businesses like yours that make a difference by focusing on impact, not just profit.
I believe business can and should lead the change by acting responsibly in the design of our supply chains, creating circular business models that eliminate harm and waste, and building authentic brands that genuinely connect with consumers. It took me having my son as a single-Mum-by-choice at the time, to realise I had to use my skills to help purpose-led businesses succeed, so that hopefully the world would look a little different by the time he became a father himself.
You don’t have to get it perfect. You just have to get it going (and then growing). And, if we can help, I’d love to put our collective capabilities together for your business success…
Build a brand with impact and initiate a legacy of change through your business.
You weren’t meant to choose between profit and purpose. Profit is the by-product of purpose.
When you lead from a place of authentically aligned purpose, you connect on deeper levels with people.
Because what matters to you, connects you to people with similar values - your customers, your teams, your partners and your communities.
This creates ripples of change in our businesses and across our societies.
Stop imagining your business like that.
Let's start building it, together...
Collectively Podcast: Purpose-led business and marketing
Monica Shepherd, our resident copywriter, and I collectively share our experiences of building our own purpose-led businesses and the trials and tribulations, actions and outcomes of our clients, as well as some of the most memorable and successful ethical and sustainable brands we admire.
Collectively is a podcast about building better businesses, and the journey all of us as business owners and entrepreneurs have along the way.
As two Marketers with over 40 years experience between us, we chat about the marketing methods and mindsets that really move the dial for small-to-medium sized businesses, and how by working in collaboration with others, you can build a successful business and market it in a way that feels aligned, authentic and appealing for you and all your audiences!
It's available on all major podcast platforms including:

I've worked with serial entrepreneurs building multiple businesses as well as first-time business owners and solopreneurs. Those that succeed establish an unwavering sense of belief in their purpose.
