Let's Do Marketing joins Start Up September 2026 to help new business owners get their marketing off the ground
Let's Do Marketing is proud to be taking part in this year's Start Up September campaign, offering free support to help new and aspiring business owners get to grips with marketing their business from day one.
Start Up September returns for 2026 at a time when business support funding is increasingly uncertain nationwide, with many local and regional schemes facing cuts or closure. As part of the wider campaign, Let's Do Marketing is stepping in to make sure marketing advice remains a free and accessible part of that support, both through direct one-to-one sessions and by helping spread the word about the campaign itself.
“Working with new businesses is always a privilege, often seeing them transform their ideas into reality. We’re delighted to yet again be supporting this campaign in 2026, providing accessible marketing support that educates and empowers businesses rather than overwhelming them. We’re excited to see how this years participants use the support available this year to grow their business ideas!”
Free drop-in clinics with the Let's Do Marketing team
Throughout September, Let's Do Marketing will be offering free 30-minute drop-in clinics as part of the campaign, giving new and aspiring business owners the chance to speak directly with the team about their marketing questions. Sessions will be hosted by Stacey and Kerry from Let's Do Marketing, who'll be on hand to talk through anything from branding and social media to marketing strategy and getting started with limited budgets. No question is too small, and no prior marketing experience is needed.
Helping get the word out
Alongside delivering its own sessions, Let's Do Marketing is also supporting Start Up September by helping promote the campaign more widely, working to reach aspiring and new business owners across the UK who might not otherwise know this kind of free support is available. Getting the message out is a key part of making sure the businesses who could benefit most from Start Up September actually hear about it.
Discounted Marketing Training workshops during September 2026!
In addition to the drop-in clinics, Let's Do Marketing are running a series of Marketing Training workshops throughout September, that are designed for business owners who want to build their own marketing skills rather than outsource them, the sessions cover core marketing concepts in a practical, jargon-free way, giving attendees the confidence and tools to start doing their own marketing rather than feeling like it's something only experts can do. Created to be affordable and give businesses access to expert support, Let’s Do Marketing are offering £5 off each order on their booking system Cademy with the discount code ‘LDM-5OFF’ as part of the Start Up September campaign.
Making marketing feel less overwhelming
Marketing is often one of the areas new business owners feel least confident about, and it can be tempting to put it off or leave it too late. By offering free, approachable support as part of Start Up September, Let's Do Marketing hopes to make marketing feel like something any business owner can pick up and build on, whether that's through a quick conversation in a drop-in clinic or a deeper dive in one of the training workshops.
