Susan Anderton, Managing Director
Founder of The Brand Marquee, Susan Anderton is the managing director and hands-on marketing and campaign consultant for a range of clients across six sectors – from legal and professional services to technology and data centres.
Susan’s experience in brand, marketing and business development spans 30+years. In that time she has created successful campaigns from working with Comic Relief in the early days for a major pub and restaurant brand to business-changing strategies for our newest client RiT Tech.
Her business and commercial knowledge is strong. From 2007-2012 Susan headed up an architecture practice to support them through the recession, directly generating almost £3m in fees in that time. This experience resulted in understanding the impact of successful marketing, brand and BD campaigns on EBITDA or other ROI indicators.
One of the most significant achievement for a new sector back in 2012, was her role in the merger between Blake Lapthorn and Morgan Cole. For 18 months, Susan worked with the managing partner on all aspects of brand from identifying its new name to instilling a new culture within the firm.
Susan is used to leading and nurturing large teams at every level – from mentoring young professionals to working closely with C-Suite Executives on defining their brand, growing their business or exit strategies. She has also delivered a significant number of personal brand projects for senior teams.
Her ability to create innovative and dynamic marketing campaigns is demonstrated by the success achieved by our clients over the past nine years. The majority of clients have come through recommendation.

- Personality is the difference between initial attraction and a relationship.
- Without character, a brand will fail to engage or communicate.
- Continuity is imperative, conflicting information leads to indecision.
- Information is worthless without the incentive to act upon it.”
