The Mind Collective (or TMC as we are affectionately known) offers bespoke marketing solutions for SMEs, Challenger Brands and Start-Ups across FMCG food, drink, personal care and consumer goods.

10 years ago (yes, really), we pioneered a plug-and-play marketing model. We recognised that SMEs wanted access to dedicated marketing capability but in a more flexible and modern working way - not an expensive fixed overhead that isn’t right for the size or growth trajectory of the business.

These days it’s called Fractional Marketing - though we’re not sure we love the term.  There’s nothing fractional about our commitment, passion or drive!

From strategic planning and performance marketing to digital strategy, social media management, influencer marketing and content creation - we offer it all, flexibly tailored to your needs. 

We aren’t an “agency”, we are a Collective of marketers from fresh graduates to seasoned pros with experience across multiple brands and categories.
