Professionals in the creative industries in Staffordshire are being targeted by a new marketing "dating agency" aimed at matchmaking marketing professionals with companies seeking their services.

Best Marketing Quotes offers companies looking for marketing services a free, one-stop selection process to find the right person or company for the job. Now the company is looking for marketing and creative professionals in Staffordshire to register with the site and put themselves forward for potentially lucrative contracts.

Marketing professionals and agencies from the Staffordshire region can register with Best Marketing Quotes and obtain leads, enabling them to pitch for work that suits their capabilities.

Best Marketing Quotes - based in Brindleyplace, Birmingham - has been launched by Birmingham businesswoman and web marketing consultant Clare Mckee, who already runs two successful internet consultancies. Clare, aged 45, believes companies are crying out for a no-hassle way of recruiting the right marketing suppliers without endless searches and recruitment processes. Best Marketing Quotes will give them a manually selected shortlist of potential suppliers matched for their capabilities and areas of expertise.

"Staffordshire is rightly called 'The Creative County' and there are many areas of expertise in the county. That's why it is a prime spot for building up a database of creative professionals and agencies that have the capacity to take on more work," said Clare McKee. 

"If a company is looking for a particular marketing service they can consult the internet or directories and find so much choice it ends up being no choice at all. Finding a supplier which precisely matches their needs is not easy," she said.

She added, "At Best Marketing Quotes we pre-select a short list of no more than four people who have been chosen because their expertise matches the client's needs. In a busy world this saves a huge amount of time and resource, and the service is completely free."

Best Marketing Quotes covers a broad range of marketing services, including internet marketing, market research, web design, copywriting, advertising, public relations, exhibitions, merchandise, promotions, point-of-sale materials, printing, direct mail and event management. Service providers register with the company and purchase leads when identified. These leads typically cost £20 - £40 each.

Clare Mckee said, "Quite simply we bring clients and marketing companies together, building a marketing community, members of which can expect a high conversion rate because clients and suppliers are carefully matched."
