About us
Consortium More than Marketing is a boutique marketing and business development agency providing tailored solutions to professional services clients. Lara Squires created Consortium in 2013 out of a need to offer good quality, flexible marketing at an affordable price, having recognised that small businesses in particular do not have the funding for their own marketing person.
Flexible working approach
We are particularly passionate about flexible working and describes it as a “driving force behind the business.” We believe that having time to switch off and enjoy life with the family is key to a healthy work-life balance. With that in mind, everyone is encouraged to take a full week off at Christmas, topping up holiday allocation by two days to make this possible. And when candidates are interviewed, they are asked, "What hours would you like to work?" They struggle to answer because employers rarely offer true flexible hours that work around the lives of their employees and their families.
Company FlexScore™
Scoring against our flexibility index (1 = not at all flexible, 100 = couldn’t be more flexible, 51 is average) using a number of parameters to assess flexibility such as working from home, hours, frequency of travel, benefits, etc.
Employee FlexScore™
Scoring against our employee perception index (1 = not seen as flexible, 100 = couldn’t be happier with the flexibility, 51 is average) using a number of more emotional / perception based questions to understand whether employees feel supported and offered what they want. The areas we cover are work-life balance / managerial support / flexible benefits / working environment / and many others.
"I feel very lucky to have such flexible hours."

What do we think of Consortium?
Consortium were super flexible throughout their accreditation and gave us access to all of their employees for the anonymous survey which shows the confidence in what they're internal working environment is like! Not surprised that they had such good results across their benchmarking, a great place to work!
Meet who might be hiring you
I started Consortium More than Marketing in 2013 when I noticed a gap in the market. At the time my children were young, so I needed flexibility. Working with us you really can decide your ideal hours, and whether you want to work locally or remotely. As a business, our team were able to ‘work from home’ long before the phenomenon became the norm!
