Outsourced Marketing Department | Cross Bay Marketing

Cross Bay Marketing was founded by Anna Bell in September 2016.

An in-house Marketing Manager for a firm of accountants for 7.5 years, I now share the knowledge, and contacts, collected over that time with the great businesses we have here in the North West of England.

A proud Lancastrian, living by the sea in Morecambe, I want to support people running local businesses, schools, CIC's and charities that don't have the time or knowledge to do their own marketing.

At Cross Bay Marketing we can provide advice, strategy, support, and training on all aspects of digital and traditional marketing. To discuss how we can help align your marketing activities with your business goals, please email anna@crossbaymarketing.co.uk, or call 07973663674.

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.
