What started as a lockdown project offering free advice to struggling businesses has grown into one of Brighton’s most agile and purposeful marketing agencies. Now, in 2025, we’re entering a bold new chapter – and we’re bringing some serious firepower with us.
From Lockdown to Leading: The Story Behind Marketing 101
It all began in the early days of lockdown, when Alex Ryan, then Head of Marketing for a £60M global brand, put down the Xbox controller and launched The Furloughed Marketer – a solo consultancy offering free small business marketing support to businesses navigating the chaos. Just three months and 35 clients later, the Brighton marketing agency, Marketing 101 was born, powered by community spirit, a strong coffee habit, and a very simple mission: make marketing not terrible.
