About drumBEAT

No Fluff, Just Real Marketing That Works

Let’s be honest—most “About Us” pages are filled with corporate jargon, forced smiles, and a bunch of vague promises. That’s not us.


At drumBEAT Marketing, we hate the word “agency” because we’re not one. We don’t do templated strategies, confusing reports, or disappear the moment the contract is signed. Instead, we embed ourselves within your business, making sure marketing actually happens—and delivers results.


Our job? To take the marketing stress off your plate, execute strategies that actually make sense for your business, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it.

Chris

Managing Director

Chris isn’t just about marketing—he’s about marketing that actually works. As a Chartered Marketer and the driving force behind drumBEAT, he’s spent over a decade helping businesses cut through the noise, ditch the guesswork, and build strategies that deliver real results. With a no-nonsense approach and a knack for turning complex challenges into clear, actionable plans, Chris ensures that every strategy isn’t just smart—it’s executable.

Meet Your Marketing Team
(Not an ‘Agency’)

We’re a team of strategists, doers, thinkers, and problem-solvers who genuinely care about the businesses we work with. We take marketing seriously—but not ourselves. That means straight-talking advice, honest feedback, and absolutely no ego.

If that sounds like the kind of marketing team you’d want on your side, you’re in the right place.

Holly

Operations Manager

If drumBEAT is a well-oiled machine, Holly is the one making sure no one loses the instructions—including Chris. As our Operations Manager, she keeps projects moving, deadlines met, and the team (mostly) in check. From organising workflows to making sure strategies don’t just stay on paper, Holly is the glue that holds everything together—all while juggling a hundred things at once and somehow making it look easy.

Ashleigh

SEO & Long-form Content

For over a year, Ashleigh has been making Google love our clients—and ensuring their content isn’t just words on a page, but a traffic-driving, authority-building machine. Whether it’s optimising for rankings, crafting in-depth content that actually gets read, or decoding the latest SEO updates, she’s on it. With a sharp eye for detail and a talent for turning complex topics into engaging reads, Ashleigh makes sure every piece of content works as hard as it should.

Adam

Web and Design

For over nine years, Adam has been behind drumBEAT’s web and design projects—building sites that don’t just look good, but actually convert. Whether he’s crafting sleek, user-friendly websites, perfecting a brand’s visual identity, or making sure everything runs smoothly under the hood, Adam’s the guy who brings ideas to life (and saves us all from questionable design choices). He’s been keeping our clients looking sharp since day one.

Heidi

Socials & Short-Form Content

As the youngest on the team, Heidi brings energy, creativity, and a sharp eye for what actually works on social media. From crafting engaging posts to producing scroll-stopping video content, she knows how to make brands stand out in a crowded feed. Whether she’s jumping on the latest trends, editing killer video content, or making sure engagement stays high, Heidi keeps our clients' social presence fresh, relevant, and anything but boring.
