The SenseCheck story

How it all started

SenseCheck was started by Roger Jackson and Simon Preece. Roger has years of big company marketing experience but then 15 years of building his own small business (a research firm – Shopper Intelligence).

Simon worked for years at Elmwood, one of the country’s leading branding and design agencies and runs his own consultancy Bigger & Better Things.

Both are passionate that small businesses have enough of a disadvantage already compared to big companies – without the dangers of (frankly) avoidable marketing underperformance.

The old way

As Roger says: “I created SenseCheck because it’s something I badly needed over the years but never had. I couldn’t afford flashy agencies. But I really could have done with a sensible, experienced and above all objective second opinion. On my own, I had to just back my personal judgement. Right or wrong. Sadly, I was often wrong: I wasted huge amounts of marketing money as a result.”

The new way

Different, informed perspectives can be truly valuable in this important area, but hard to come by in a small business.

Who can you afford? Who can you trust?

Too many would-be advisors are in truth selling a particular marketing solution.

What you need is unbiased advice from experienced specialists with no axes to grind.

The result

Not an agency, consultancy or research firm we are a unique online platform and community. With more than 100 highly experienced advisers signed up to our panel already.

We will connect you to your own personal marketing ‘brain trust’. Their bite-size feedback represents the gut feeling gained from years of hard-won real-world experience. All in total confidence.
