Hello and welcome to Gecko Marketing

The fact that you’re here means that you must be interested in finding out what we can do for you. So, let me tell you a little about who we are and what we can offer

I’m Julie Edler, the founder of Gecko Marketing. I’m a Fellow of the CIM and have 30 years of experience, over half of which has been at a director level in organisations such as Liverpool FC and HBOS plc.  A passion for marketing and branding building has driven my journey, and I’ve achieved significant success, of which I’m incredibly proud.

A few years ago, I founded Gecko Marketing. The objective has always been to support my clients’ organisations by harnessing my global brand-building knowledge and experience together with the latest technology while staying true to the timeless marketing principles that drive success.

I’m hugely interested in behavioural marketing—understanding how and why people think and act the way they do. This insight underpins everything we deliver for our clients, ensuring strategies that truly resonate and engage.

I am supported by a strong team of associates, each an expert in their own field within the marketing environment. Together, we bring an honest, plain-speaking approach to our work, infused with energy, enthusiasm, and a deep well of knowledge.

And, true to my Northern roots, we are approachable, passionate, honest and always personable and real.

What Makes Us Different

We believe that we stand out amongst our peers as we combine extensive global brand-building experience with a passion for helping smaller and medium-sized organisations achieve sustainable growth. Our corporate background gives a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in highly competitive markets. We take these proven strategies and adapt them specifically for the SME environment, ensuring that every solution we provide is innovative and practical.

What truly sets us apart is our straightforward, honest approach. We believe in clear communication and transparency, so you always know exactly where you stand. There’s no fluff or jargon—just plain, actionable advice tailored to your unique business needs. We dig deep to uncover the hidden opportunities within your business, focusing on strategies that will deliver the most significant impact.

Our blend of creativity and practicality ensures that we don’t just come up with ideas—we find the ones that work. We’re committed to maximising your return on marketing investment.
