Who we are

Hi, I’m Ruth Douglas and I run Imp Ideas, a marketing consultancy that helps growing businesses go from good to great. We’re based in Exmouth, near Exeter in East Devon and can work directly or remotely with your business.

We help businesses that are ready to grow. If you’re great at what you do and want to expand your customer base or product offering but don’t quite know how; talk to us.

We combine the traditional approach of data-led direct marketing, compelling storytelling skills and the modern reach of social media to help you build your business and go from good to great.

What we do

Outsourced marketing support

Every now and then everyone needs some help. As your business grows you’ll find that it seems there’s more to do than you can possibly get done, but you’re not ready to take on new staff.

Working as your outsourced marketing department we can take on the day to day tasks of digital marketing, copy writing, social media management and e-commerce management.

Consultancy and strategy

With over 20 years’ experience in marketing and sales across multiple sectors, the team at Imp Ideas can bring you fresh insights into your business.

We can help to develop your thinking around how to find new customers and retain the ones you have, how to talk to them and how to get them to spend more money with you.

We always start with where you are and maximise the opportunities that exist in your business first.

Training

We run in-house training and group workshops for social media and marketing.

You’ll learn the tactics and tools needed to attract loyal fans, engage customers and drive sales.

Our workshops are fun, friendly, jargon-free and guaranteed to take you from overwhelmed to inspired.

What our clients say about us

What an eye-opening and game-changing morning spent with Imp Ideas. They really know their stuff and are marketing and social media wizards. (Wizardesses?) Ruth has already helped us enormously. Thank you so much.
