Marketing Support and Training | North Lancashire | South Cumbria

Hello there…

Firstly, thanks for being here. It's likely you've found this site because you're looking for some marketing support, you want to know more about me, or are curious to know who else is offering marketing support in the area.

I'm Anna and I set up Cross Bay Marketing in 2016. You can find out a bit more about me on the 'About' page where you'll also see some examples of my work.

It wasn't until I left permanent employment that I started to uncover all the interesting companies and charities that are quietly working away, on my doorstep. All around me there are people creating innovative products, finding ways to support the most vulnerable in our society, using technology to transform lives and so many taking that first step in 'being their own boss'. It's not only inspiring but makes a real difference to our local economy and our communities.

To the Women by Anna Bell

To the women

Today, Monday 8th March 2021, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day. Last night I sat down to watch The Glorias, ‘a film about Gloria Steinem — from her childhood in 1940s Ohio to her leading role in the women’s liberation movement’. Guess what? I’d never even heard of this woman until last night! I found something I’d […]

Getting out of our head and into the great outdoors.

Would you call yourself a walker?

I found some old pictures of my family and I out walking. Most Sundays we’d go for a walk, sometimes we’d drive out for a walk, other times we’d keep things local. These pictures make me smile. It was a walk with my Grandparents. By this point, my Nan had probably moved up here after […]

What’s in it for me?

Even typing this question makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. It has negative connotations attached to it, however, it is not a bad thing to pause for a moment and ask yourself this. In October, I attended the Digital Lancaster Reboot session hosted by Digital Lancashire. I’d been a supporter of Digital Lancashire since a random email […]
