Fiona Cobban MCIM

I’m Fiona Cobban, a strategic marketing and communications consultant with over 20 years’ experience helping organisations bring their strategy to life. Through Cobban Marketing, I work with both growing businesses and larger organisations to turn complex ideas into clear, confident communication that strengthens customer connection and drives meaningful results.

For small and scaling businesses, I make marketing feel lighter, clearer and more focused. I help founders pin down their story, understand their audience and build practical marketing plans they can actually deliver – with steady, experienced support whenever they need it.

I also partner with corporate leaders as an interim, part-time or project-based marketing and communications lead. I align brand, strategy and communications, bringing calm, credible direction through complex change and ensuring their message lands with clarity and impact.

I’m always open to collaborations, shared projects and opportunities to combine strengths.

Alongside Cobban Marketing, I run a side venture with Utility Warehouse. After saving over £1,000 a year myself, I now help others cut their bills through relaxed, no-pressure conversations – with a simple referral scheme for anyone who wants to share the opportunity.

In my spare time, you’ll find me walking my Springers, or pressing fresh apple juice from my small orchard to fund raise for Marie Curie.
