Connecting with causes and communities
That align with small business purpose and values
Developing purposeful leader brands that create intergenerational impact.
Helping small businesses be the change.
Have you ever thought to yourself 'someone should fix that' or noticed something seriously wrong and wanted to do something about it, but didn't know where to start?
That thing that stuck out to you... fixing it has your name written all over it. You've noticed it for a reason.
Maybe it's scary and daunting to take it on. Maybe you're afraid you'll fail.
Maybe it's your calling.
We're here to help you answer the call. We'll help you work out the details.
Because I've been there.
This is exactly how The Marketing Collective was born. This is exactly what drove me to set up my own charity, Dara Children's Trust.
I didn't know how. I just knew that if I wasn't that 'someone', nothing would change.

Connecting good businesses with impactful causes
Impact-led experiences: Join us in Cambodia in 2026
In January 2026, we'll take a volunteer team out to our Dara Children's Trust education and community initiatives, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
And, you're invited!
You could be helping us design and install a playground at the local primary school or a community garden on the roof terrace of our new Community Centre.
Building a directory of small, impactful causes
We're compiling a directory of small-to-medium sized charities to help connect impactful causes with purpose-led businesses.
Leveraging Marijke's 15 year's charity foundership and Board management experience, she'll conduct due diligence for you, and help you match with a cause in alignment with your purpose and values.
If you know of a small but mighty charity that would benefit from being on our directory, please let us know.
Coming Soon...
We're building a 'Reimagining Business Hub' - a go-to for:
- Defining or refining your purpose and values
- Aligning with issues that matter to you and your people
- Aligning with causes that create impact
- Communicating your involvement and impact without feeling disingenuous

I volunteered with the Dara Children's Trust as part of a team at eNett and was blown away by Marijke's passion, tireless hard work and dedication. She is incredibly driven and fearless and runs the charity in a highly organised, ethical and responsible fashion. I look forward to contributing to the Trust and Marijke's work going forward.

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.
