Say hello to
Paul Savage Marketing

Seven hundred people once volunteered to flush a toilet for me.

The team needed to test the facilities, make sure everything worked, but we wanted to get as much publicity as possible for the opening of a new Arena.

We called it The Grand Flush. 

It was a daft, throwaway idea to get noticed prior to the opening of a highly anticipated entertainment venue.

And yet tens of thousands of people heard about it and 700 offered to turn up and flush.

It proved to me that you don't need a giant budget to get people talking. You need a good idea and the nerve to say it out loud. 

I'm Paul. I've spent 25 years getting people to turn up, buy tickets and talk about the things which have happened in the places I've worked. 

I started as a trainee journalist, so spotting a story comes naturally. After that came theatres, an arena in Hull and, most recently, running a brewery and events space in Grimsby. 

(I also ran a music website and record label on the side. Oh, and I interviewed George Lucas and the cast of Star Wars. I don't like free time).

Most businesses are already sitting on a good story. They just don’t know how to find it and tell it.

Over the years that’s the bit I’ve realised I love the most. 

Paul Savage Marketing is here to create strategies, find the story and tell people about it.

I’ve worked across sales and marketing, managed dozens of people, curated events and seen hundreds of thousands of happy customers. 

And now I want to bring that experience to your business.

I can help you with:
