About Nicolle Halksworth
Cambridge Marketing Consultancy
Marketing that fits your business
I'm Nicolle. I help small and growing businesses build marketing strategies that are clear, purposeful, and actually get implemented.
I've spent fifteen years helping ambitious businesses cut through the noise and get their marketing working properly.
From early-stage startups finding their footing to established companies navigating challenges and looking for smarter ways to stay ahead.
My background spans financial services, health and wellbeing, education, technology and engineering.
I've worked with fintech firms, accountancy practices, fitness companies, healthtech and education specialists - but the common thread has always been the same: connecting what a business stands for with what its customers actually need and expect.
What makes my approach different is that I've been on your side of the business too. I built and launched Cambridge Marketing Consultancy and Q Move Fitness, my own female-focused fitness brand, from the ground up.
My own experience, navigating the realities of brand building, client engagement, AI integration, and growth, shapes everything I do for clients. I don't just consult; I understand what it actually feels like to make a business work.
Giving me both the strategic frameworks and the people skills to make meaningful change happen from inside a business.
I work closely with founders, directors, and small marketing teams who need more than advice.
If you need someone who will roll up their sleeves, help you think clearly, and stay with you through implementation - that's exactly what I do.
Adding value to the clients I work with
-
Strategic clarity — turning your marketing from a collection of activities into a joined-up strategy that serves your commercial goals.
-
Brand positioning that resonates — articulating what makes you different in a way that genuinely connects with your audience.
-
Hands-on website and content support — building and optimising on Squarespace and WordPress, from structure and SEO to copy and user experience.
-
Smart use of AI — integrating AI tools for content, research, lead generation, and efficiency without losing your brand's voice.
-
Cross-functional collaboration — working alongside your sales, finance, and operations teams so marketing doesn't sit in a silo.

Zone Outdoor Fitness
Nicolle was commissioned to lead a UK-wide market research project gathering insight from the veterinary profession to directly inform the development of EuthSafe — a healthtech product designed to improve the safety, reporting, transportation and handling of controlled drugs. Her final report was excellent and will be invaluable in helping us raise the investment needed to bring EuthaSafe to market.
