Practical and Proven Marketing by Debbie Watkins
Welcome to my little corner of the web: Smart marketing, good coffee, and common sense, all wrapped in trust, commitment, and clarity.
I’ve been helping businesses grow their ideas for a long time, but 1989 is when it became official, the year I earned my piece of paper to prove I’d reached the grade. This site is a portfolio of some of my proudest moments; a behind-the-scenes peek into how I work, who I am, a blending of strategy with creativity and plenty of heart.
Work should be rewarding, purposeful, and, yes, fun when it can be. I listen well, think things through, and always follow through.
I’m 100% Blackburn blood, Northern grit, and from the south, Hampshire, where they say: “Hampshire born, Hampshire bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head.” Strong in the arm, I can live with. The rest? I’ll leave it to your judgment.
Family keeps me grounded. Dad says I was born before my time. Mum tells me to stop sticking my neck out. And Auntie? She beams and says, “Hello sunshine, watch out, everyone here comes trouble!”
I’m real, driven, and passionate about what I do. I dance through life the best I can, and I’ll be proud to say I did it my way.
Whether you’re here to browse, learn, or just say hello, make yourself at home. Fancy a chat? Head to the Contact me page.
Let’s build something inspiring with integrity and imagination.

With heartfelt thanks to Weezie for her stunning creation. Not by blood, but definitely family.
