Prowess:
“Skill or expertise in a particular activity or field.”
Oxford Dictionary
There isn’t any better compliment than using a phrase used by one of your customers to describe your marketing service; B2B marketing prowess.
Our continuous improvement focus ensures that our talents and expertise stay at the forefront of our marketing offer, allowing all our customers to benefit from the latest marketing trends and activities.
Our ethos hasn’t changed since setting up Start 2 Finish Marketing Limited in 2005: ‘look after the customer and success will look after itself’. It’s this belief that drives us to improve on our service, individual abilities, and customer experience.

Ian Bytheway Managing Director, Conveyor Units
S2F are innovative and proactive marketeers who take the time to really understand what our customer wants.
Chris Wood Managing Director, DWV
S2F impressed me from day 1, as we had some immediate needs – a global partners event within a few days of my 1st discussion with Warren. He mobilised a team to support what turned out to be a very successful event, and we haven’t looked back since. Many thanks to Warren and his excellent team, they feel like an integral part of our company.
Alan Peel Chairman, Impression Technologies (ITL)
S2F are by far the best marketing agency I’ve ever worked with.
Paul Faulkner CEO, Total Enterprise Solutions
We have found S2F to be a refreshing change from more traditional marketing companies, who understand design, but do not appreciate the overall strategy of marketing, and indeed selling. Eye catching design is not enough for OEMs such as ourselves; we need a return on our investment and we need to see how the marketing services provided are very much in line and reinforce the sales, marketing goals and deliverables.
Tony Hague Managing Director, PP C&A
I just wanted to say that I think you have done a great job on the website. The photography etc is great giving the right look, feel and overall impression of the company; way beyond anything PMP has had online before. It will be interesting to see what comes from the marketing initiatives I know you are planning to drive prospects to the site.
Simon Lane Chairman, PMP Essex
We wanted a partner who would manage our marketing from start to finish. Warren, Steve and the team at S2F certainly achieved that. They manage everything from design for print, branding and identity, design for web and strategic marketing to PR. Working together with Start 2 Finish helped take the marketing at Alloy Wire International to another level.
Mark Venables Managing Director, Alloy Wire
We’ve been working with S2F for years and with their help we are the UK market leaders in our industry and have now started trading internationally. I would recommend S2F to any business looking to grow.
Archie Logan Sales Director, Storm Environmental
S2F concentrated on one sector of our business initially. That sector has an increase in volume of some 55% in five months. We would recommend S2F without hesitation.
Martin Astle Astle Paterson Solicitors
S2F have seamlessly become part of the team. I would recommend them to anyone.
Sue Durnall Customer Success Team Manager, Total Enterprise Solutions
I’ve been working with S2F for the past 4 years and found each team member to be professional, friendly, supportive, and people I would genuinely class as work friends. With support from Warren and Steve from the very top, to the daily support by Richard Hill, Luke and Sam, our account is always in safe hands.
Nikki Crook Marketing Manager, Photofab
S2F really understand our business. I would gladly recommend them to anyone.
