Write Way Round is a practical marketing services company based in Church Crookham (on the outskirts of Fleet), near the north Hampshire / Surrey border.

Most of our clients are based in London, Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire but we also have clients further afield in Leicester, Buckinghamshire, Kent and Essex.

We help businesses that:

Our team work with clients to achieve their marketing goals and business objectives; both for B2B and B2C target audiences. Along the way, we offer guidance, training and advice on how clients can improve their marketing.

Our Way
When it comes to marketing plans, we don’t believe in reinventing the wheel. Most of the clients we work with already have a general plan of action and solid views on what they need from their marketing. Our role is to help them transform the plan into manageable action that delivers the end result.

Other clients need more of a starting point. This may include collating a marketing plan that dovetails with their business plan; helping them to move them forward and grow their business.

We firmly believe in offering value for money solutions that make your budget work harder, while delivering results. For instance, designing an advertisement that can also be used to provide printable postcards for handing out at exhibitions, or applied to email campaigns.

We have a practical, common sense approach to marketing. So if you’re looking for a marketing company that does blue sky thinking, pushes the envelope or looks outside the box, we’re probably not for you.

But if you want to work with an enthusiastic, experienced and committed group of people who believe in having good ideas and getting on with it, we may just be the company you’ve been looking for… and you’re probably the type of client we enjoy working with.

A word (or three) on Steve Manning
Steve is the founder and Managing Director of Write Way Round Limited. His marketing career began with Sun Life of Canada in 1985, with various roles in product marketing; working closely with the in-house graphic design, print and distribution teams to deliver marketing collateral across all business areas. This culminated in the concurrent launch of a global rebrand and the largest U.K. product suite launch in the company’s history (in 2000).

Across 2001 to 2005, a broader role with specialist financial adviser firm Wentworth Rose expanded his remit into the world of advertising, direct marketing and database marketing; including working on co-branded campaigns with the Telegraph, Mirror and Scotsman media groups. A company merger in 2005 saw the formation of Origen Financial Services, where Steve’s experience was put to meaningful purpose during the company rebranding exercise, before supplying practical marketing support for Origen’s Media, Large Corporate, Strategic Partner and Client Service teams.

In 2007 he left Origen to establish Write Way Round Ltd; initially providing marketing support for financial advisers and an external resource for larger financial service providers. A key part of this included forming strategic alliances with a number of the talented outsource suppliers he had previously worked with. Many of them now form the experienced team that deliver an expanding range of services to clients.

Steve quickly recognised the opportunities for applying the company’s activities to help a more diverse range of enterprises. The company now offer comprehensive marketing services to large corporates, SMEs and sole-traders, across a much wider range of industry sectors.

Societies & Associations: An enthusiastic supporter of local businesses, Steve is the current Chairman of the Basingstoke Business Club and a regular member (and speaker on all things marketing) at Alton 4 Business, Farnham Business Club, Enterprise First and the Rotary Business Breakfast (Fleet) group. The company is also a Member of the Federation of Small Businesses.
