Mark Brewerton becomes Vice Chair for the Chartered Institute of Marketing in Cornwall
Total Marketing Solutions' Managing Director Mark Brewerton has recently been appointed Vice Chair for the Chartered Institute of Marketing in Cornwall. Mark's role will be to champion the CIM to both corporate and studying members throughout the county. This will entail demonstrating the relevance of the CIM to the large number of small companies in Cornwall whilst attracting new members.
"The CIM isn't just for large companies with large brands - and neither is marketing. In a county such as Cornwall, which is dominated by small and micro businesses, the CIM is incredibly relevant," explains Mark.
In recognition of this, the CIM has formed a special interest group - the Small Business Group - which is aimed at providing marketing support for the growing number of SME's around the country. A successful pilot scheme in Northamptonshire has now been rolled out across the country. CIM members are now working closely with Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses throughout the country to become a valuable resource for small businesses, providing support across a wide range of marketing issues. The CIM has developed a Small Business Toolkit to provide an introduction to marketing as well as information on marketing communications, creating a website and how to grow through new and existing customers.
"Building on the work carried out to date and the resources now available, I am keen to now establish the CIM as the small business champion in Cornwall," says Mark.

TMS moves into new offices
After operating out of very makeshift office space or the last 12 months, we have at last now moved into a purpose built office.
The office is located in a converted former Methodist Minister's Coach House and gives us around 300 ft2 of ground floor office space and a top quality working environment.
Mark Brewerton, MD of TMS comments; "These new offices are a great place to work and will enable our continued expansion over at least the next couple of years."
