About

Two Lizards is an extremely experienced marketing and advertising team with expertise across a huge variety of sectors.  Alison Jelfs and Hilary Thomson work with a team of senior specialists to help you achieve your business goals.  We understand the issues faced by growing businesses and our style is friendly, pragmatic and collaborative.

Alison and Hilary worked for many years mainly in direct marketing, a sector focused on measurable results. This gives their work a strong focus on sales for their clients, whether that means generating leads, driving business into a retail outlet or selling direct from the site. With our direct marketing backgrounds, creating clear navigation that leads a visitor through your site to a call to action (to get in touch, arrange a meeting, purchase a product or whatever) is second nature. It is also one of the reasons why Two Lizards offers its clients an ongoing SEO service for websites: we enjoy the challenge of building traffic to your site and seeing results.

Every client’s marketing needs are unique and every solution we create is completely bespoke. We use our experience not only to analyse the best, most cost-effective way to market your products or services, but to create the right team for the job. In this way you benefit from a style of service normally only available to larger companies, at a realistic price.
