Marketing training for small businesses and start-ups who want to genuinely connect with customers and create a magnetism to their brand.
Imagine having a panel of senior-level brand and marketing experts to call on to advise you on your own business. The kind of expertise that’s usually limited to those with big teams and big budgets.
That’s what The Marketing Collective offers you.
Founded by marketing strategist, Marijke Timmers, we’re a community of industry specialists at the top of our game. The Marketing Collective gives you direct access to these strategists, creatives and experienced business owners, whose knowledge and advice you can leverage in growing your brand.
"This isn’t an agency, it’s a collaboration between some of the best industry talent that I’ve come across in my 20+ years in marketing."
Marijke Timmers, Founder of The Marketing Collective

Marijke Timmers - Marketing Strategist, Coach and Outsourced CMO
I founded The Marketing Collective after becoming a Mum and realising I wanted to have more impact day-to-day. After two decades leading corporate and agency marketing functions, I now help businesses like yours inject more purpose and meaning into their brands, and generate real return on investment for their marketing dollars in a way that feels good.
Jodine McIntyre - Social Smarty
I’m your social media trainer, wing-woman, cheerleader and supporter - all rolled into one. Together we can break down your social media marketing because social media can be a powerful platform to connect you with your ideal customers. Imagine having your content planned out for the month, content you know is going to connect you with your ideal audience, and having the confidence and the knowledge on how to post it.
David Remmerswaal - Dimple Digital
I often find small business owners are confused about the jargon and seemingly infinite options available when working online, so I am on a mission to simplify digital marketing. We all have our own personal reasons for being in business, and I believe when we achieve our business goals, we achieve our personal goals. This is why the team and I ensure we do everything possible to provide an honest, reliable and profitable service for all our clients.

My husband Bevan and I are your new digital content BFFs!

We know how to help you position your brand, promote it and scale up your business to grow and succeed.
