For service businesses and solopreneurs
Often the problem isn't your service. It's how quickly people understand it, trust it and remember it. I help service businesses close that gap with clear positioning and practical marketing automation.

I'm asking the business owners I meet at events what really holds them back. Your answers shape my free webinar, so it solves real problems, not imagined ones.

They take your card at the event. A week later, they can't say what you do.
Your work is better, but from the outside you look like everyone else.
You send the quote. Then nothing. And nobody follows up.
You post, network and update the website. Which of it brings clients?
This rarely means you need more visibility. It usually means a trust gap: the distance between someone noticing you and feeling safe enough to get in touch.
Visibility gets attention. Trust creates action.
Who is behind 7R Marketing
Since 2006 I've run Translators Family, a language services company in Ukraine, Poland and the UK. We work for the European Parliament, UN agencies and NGOs across Europe.
For four years I came to networking events here in Edinburgh. When someone asked what I did, I told them everything. They smiled, took my card and forgot me before they reached the car park.
I could help people in fifty languages. I still couldn't explain myself in one.
So I went back to university, earned a First-Class degree in Business with Digital Marketing, and rebuilt how my own company explains itself. In 2026 my team won Team of the Year at the ATC awards.
Now I help other service businesses do the same, with the methods I tested on my own business first.
How I can help
Strategic marketing and practical automation for service businesses. Not more posting. Clearer messages, stronger proof and fewer lost enquiries.
Easier to understand
We decide what you want to be known for and say it in your clients' words: website, LinkedIn and your 30-second introduction.
Easier to trust
We turn your experience into case stories and testimonials, placed exactly where people hesitate.
Easier to choose
Simple CRM and email systems, so no enquiry falls through the cracks and you spend less time on manual work.
Decide on evidence
Interviews and research in the UK, the EU and Ukraine, so you know what clients value before you spend.
Work with me as a consultant, as a coach, or as a hands-on partner who builds it with you.
Seven steps from where your business is today to results you can measure.
Reality
An honest look at where you stand
Research
What your clients really think
Relevance
Who you're for and why it matters to them
Responsibility
Promises you can keep, and who keeps them
Resilience
Marketing that keeps working when you're busy
Relationships
Referrals, partners and follow-up
Results
Enquiries and revenue, not likes
No. 7R Marketing works with service businesses outside the language industry: consultants, agencies, trainers, hospitality and professional services.
Yes. We start with what you can keep up in a few hours a week, then automate the repetitive parts.
You get a summary of the results and an invitation to the free webinar. If you asked for a chat, I'll email you to find a time.
No. Most of the work is about being clearer, not louder. Clarity costs less than advertising.
Start with the survey. If you already know what you need, send me a message and tell me what you're working on.
