About us

Marketing by PHD is a UK-based marketing and communications agency that works with clients around the globe to deliver targeted B2B strategies and campaigns that raise brand profiles and deliver ROI. We are results-focused but that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun achieving those results. Many of our clients have been on our books for 5+ years because we add a personal touch to everything we do.

Our content marketing specialists work seamlessly with your business, offering full remote support with a human touch.

PHD was founded by Joanna Stephenson

…former LINPAC VP of Marketing with past directorships at Sun Chemical and Dow Chemical. In 2014, after she successfully pitched to outsource the LINPAC marketing department, PHD was born. Today we employ 13+ specialist in-house employees and work with trusted third-party providers, including Design by PHD, to provide a wide range of current B2B communications tools to clients.

As a team, we believe that digital marketing tools and practices are not just the domain of B2C business. We understand that digital transformation can be a headache for our B2B partners. PHD has strong core strengths in earned and owned media such as PR and SEO but we are equally happy to promote our partners through shared and paid media too. Whatever your specific marketing project needs… we’ll run with it.

What our clients say:

From pitching to major principals to delivering our new Group website, no job is too small or too big for the PHD team. They are the core of our marketing team today and deliver inspiring ideas and content on a continuous basis. We’re delighted with their contributions to our business.
Darren SpibyCEO Cornelius
If I was asked to describe PHD Marketing & Strategy in three words? It would be…My. Dream. Team. PHD has been so great on strategy and also the execution.
Head of Marketing EuropeSATO
Jo and team consistently deliver outstanding results. Their ability to be agile in the face of evolving business and market challenges is second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other health and nutrition sector organisations seeking to grow their profile.
Per RehneCEO Clasado
Our recent presentation skills coaching session with Joanna at the PHD office in West Yorkshire has given our employees the confidence to express themselves effectively in internal and external meetings.
Rose GraceHR Manager at Parkside Flexibles
PHD very quickly understood our product, the life sciences sector and our target audience. They developed a strategy that works seamlessly with our investor communications. We’ve seen increased coverage and social media activity as a result.
Steven RileyDirector of Marketing & Consumer Sales at Optibiotix
We’re delighted with the work PHD has done to support us and, in particular, their efficient and compassionate handling of Contact crisis communications following a fire at our facility. PHD swiftly communicated the message that it was very much business as usual for Contact, despite the event.
Steve MulcahyContact Originators CEO
The role they play, is quite substantial in terms of marketing and sales. I get comments all the time about our latest news and it’s all very current.
Matt FranklowCreation MD
If you think PHD couldn’t possibly know your industry as well as you do, think again. They are experts at immersing themselves in the issues that matter to your business. We’re pleased with the work they’ve done to position blu-3 as a thought leader in its field.
