Consortium Business Solutions
Marketing for professional services requires a completely different mind-set and strategy from product marketing. As a specialist Marketing Agency and as fellow professionals we understand this. We know that many years of training have gone into developing your business, yet in today's market place the hard part is differentiating what you offer and proving your value before you've had a chance to offer a service.

We specialise in marketing for law firms, marketing for accountants, marketing for financial advisers and wealth managers, marketing for insolvency practitioners, and marketing for legal sector suppliers. We can deliver an integrated approach that covers the complete marketing spectrum, or ad hoc marketing support as required.
Services
Consortium is a boutique marketing and business development agency providing tailored solutions to professional services clients. Lara Squires created Consortium Business Solutions in 2013 out of a need to offer good quality, flexible marketing at an affordable price, having recognised that small businesses in particular do not have the funding for their own marketing person.
Consortium Business Solutions is a marketing agency team with a difference. We are passionate about what we do and our commitment to our customers and to delivering exceptional work sets us apart. We pride ourselves on having an in-depth knowledge of the professional services sector which means that we can dive right in and get on with the job.
Our professional Account Managers help you with an array of marketing services that benefit your professional services firm. We work collaboratively with you but we don't just work with firms without marketing resources. We can also help you if you already have an in-house market team.

Using the benefit of our industry experience we can provide a high-level strategic plan, leaving the implementation to your team or we can provide additional resources for when things get busy.
The Consortium Team undertakes their own individual challenges to help the charity, and we support some of Turning Tides' own events. Consortium also provides Turning Tides pro bono marketing support. If you would like to contribute to our efforts to support Turning Tides, you can donate here. Our Charity for 2018 was The Sussex Cancer Fund.
Winning awards in the legal sector can be such a great boost for your profile - both as a firm and for individuals/projects and practice areas you are particularly looking. Many of our clients, colleagues, and friends will have been on a coaching journey with our director Lara Squires a few years ago where she tried to make it more.

Thank you Lara for your 1:1 marketing coaching. I loved your professionalism, wealth of knowledge, and willingness to challenge (with support). I'm now know where to start with marketing my business and it's reassuring to know where you are, should I need further support as my business evolves.

I attended a group Linkedin training course with Lara on Zoom. Lara was very knowledgable explaining how Linkedin works and how to improve our visibility by using it correctly and well. She gave us lots of bite size tips on things to do and showed us how to do it effectively.
The course was interactive, Lara made time for questions to be taken along the way, which was useful too.
I would thoroughly recommend Lara and Consortium for this kind of training. Works brilliantly for groups / teams and the value for money vs the quality of the training and information given is excellent!
Thank you Lara

I attended a really informative and useful LinkedIn training session with Lara last week. Even if you already use LinkedIn, it is really helpful to get more hints and tips and reminders of what you could be doing to help your engagement on LinkedIn. Thank you Lara for a brilliant session!

I attended Lara's session on LinkedIn Training - which was invaluable! In just over an hour we learnt numerous tricks of the trade and within 3 days I had a post that reached the top 1% of engagement. Would highly recommend training from Lara. Thank you!

Lara and the team at Consortium have helped us navigate the new (to us) and scary (to us) world of social media and networking. Lara has a natural ability to connect people and instinctively knows how far she can push her client's boundaries. The whole team at Consortium have helped us to build an online presence that is yielding direct results from referral work and web based enquiries. Thank you Lara and all the team!

Lara and her team have done wonders for our social media. We tried to do it ourselves but found it difficult to fit in and make content relevant and delivered in the best way. Lara understands our firm culture and target market really well and is so kind when she is prompting us to write our blogs and posts!! I can't recommend Consortium highly enough.
