Meet the woman behind the business… clair!
Get to know US.
Hello.
Hi, I’m Clair Bryant, CMktr, founder of The Handy Marketing Company.
I didn’t start my career in marketing—I graduated with a degree in Multimedia Design from Huddersfield University. But after returning to Suffolk in 2001, I discovered my passion for marketing and pivoted into the field. I’ve never looked back! My design background has shaped my creative vision, helping me bring fresh and innovative marketing strategies to life for brands.
In 2022, I was honoured to be awarded Chartered Marketer status by The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), a recognition of my commitment to staying ahead in the industry through continuous learning and practical experience.
At The Handy Marketing Company, I lead a team of expert freelancers who bring specialised skills to every project. Thanks to my hands-on experience and extensive network, we provide a flexible, cost-effective approach to marketing. We can scale our services based on your business needs, ensuring you get the best support—whether you’re a small start-up or an established business looking to grow.
Let’s work together to achieve your marketing goals!

Good to know.
I’ve never chosen to focus on one specialism of marketing, preferring instead to become a highly-skilled all-rounder. I believe that, as a marketer, the more capable/hands-on you are, the more accurate and varied your response will be to any business strategy because you understand how all the disciplines work.
Work Experience.
I’ve enjoyed a varied career in senior marketing management positions for the likes of Mott McDonald, Cambridge Cognition, plus Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group (MADG). However, I’m most recognised from the 7 years spent as Regional Marketing Manager at The Jockey Club based at Newmarket Racecourses.
Education.
Marketing is a rapidly changing function so I have continued my professional development with, Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma in Marketing, Chartered Institute of Marketing Level 4 in Digital Marketing, various social media courses, and I am also certified by Google in Google Ads Search and Google Ads Display.
