The Marketing Collective
Marijke Timmers
My point of difference
We are not an agency but a collective of trusted marketing specialists across all marketing disciplines, each independent business owners ourselves who are passionate about helping ethical and sustainable businesses succeed. We believe business should be the change we need to see in the world and we're on a mission to help these businesses become the critical mass needed to influence systematic change. All our branding and marketing advice, strategies and tactics are led by shared values. We help our clients discover their purpose and bring their values to life through their brand. We then help them take it to marketing in ways that feel aligned with that purpose and those values - to genuinely connect on emotional levels with their people, customers and communities. Purpose drives profit, which drives impact.

Why I am a member
Having built my career overseas in London, New York and Melbourne, I returned to NZ to become a single Mum by choice and started my business during Covid when my son was one. Virtually, I have created a fabulous small business customer base all over the world. I don't feel like a natural networker but now nearly five years into my business, I feel it's time to commit locally - to align myself with likeminded business women and grow together.
