Jackie Barrie runs Comms Plus, the writing and design agency that specialises in making complex information appear simple. Her marketing experience comes from nearly three decades in the industry, spanning copywriting, graphic design, print, web design, sales promotion, brand identity and much more. She grew the business from nothing, reducing her marketing budget to zero because 98% of her work now comes from repeat business and referral recommendations. She also trains clients how to improve their marketing, networking, social media and business writing skills. Her first book for small businesses and start-ups, 'The Little Fish Guide to DIY Marketing', made it to top 10 in its category on Amazon within two days of launch in October 2011. The second in the series, 'The Little Fish Guide to Networking' was launched in June 2011.
