Flexible, part-time marketing managers for SMEs.

The partners at Real Marketing Specialists bring over 40 years of experience in management, strategic marketing & management consultancy, and all key areas of marketing communications.

Real Marketing was set up in 2001 to provide flexible interim marketing management services. Working on a time or project basis, we can act as an outsourced, part-time marketing department for businesses that do not need - or want the expense of - a full-time marketing manager or director. Real Marketing specialises in the technology & new media, education, property, retailing and manufacturing sectors.

The founder, Christopher Lamotte, has provided marketing and management consultancy services to some 100 organisations in consumer and business-to-business markets. He is a chartered marketer, has an MBA from Warwick University and is also a chartered surveyor.

Christopher has worked in property development, investment and agency with Quality Street Residential Investments, Brixton plc, Chestertons, King & Co (now King Sturge) and Ryden. He continues to provide part-time marketing, valuation, estate agency and letting services to Chalmers & Co, East Lothian's leading chartered surveyors.

The principals have also worked in marketing roles at The Boroughloch, David Clark Associates, IMP, Phonebox, Arclight, Orbital Software plc, and ScottishTelecom. They have extensive experience of managing rapidly growing businesses, launching new products, advising start-ups and working in challenging turn-around situations.
