Jem Marketing\u2019s bold rise from start-up to standout earns national recognition in just months<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just four months after launching her business, Melanie Brook, Founder and Director of Jem Marketing, has been named a Finalist in the Devon Women in Business Awards and a Semi-Finalist in the West Country Women\u2019s Awards, both in the Best New Start-Up category.<\/p>\n

Founded in June 2025, Jem Marketing delivers consultancy and fractional CMO services tailored for the UK holiday park industry and the B2B businesses that support it. With a clear mission and a fearless approach, Brook\u2019s business is already making waves in a niche sector often underserved by traditional marketing agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised \u2014 but very pleasantly so,\u201d says Brook. \u201cJust a few months ago, I was leading marketing inside a holiday park. Now, I\u2019ve stepped out to build something of my own \u2014 and it proves that moving out of your comfort zone can lead to something extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her success will be celebrated on 16th October, when she attends the West Country Women\u2019s Awards Finals Event, followed by the Devon Women in Business Awards Final on 14th November 2025. Both occasions mark major milestones in what has been a fast-moving, purpose-driven journey for this new Devon-based business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some fantastic businesses in these categories,\u201d adds Brook. \u201cTo be included among them so soon is an honour and a huge motivator to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

These recognitions highlight not only Brook\u2019s personal determination but also Jem Marketing\u2019s commitment to empowering the UK\u2019s holiday park industry through smarter, data-driven strategy and honest marketing mentorship.<\/p>\n
