The history behind the Great Guns Marketing Brand – A name in Marketing since 1998

Founded in 1998 by award-winning entrepreneur Liz Jackson MBE, with support from The Prince’s Trust, Great Guns Marketing quickly became a success despite significant early challenges. Remarkably, Liz lost her sight within the first year of launching the agency, but that didn’t stop her from driving impressive growth. Under her leadership, the company expanded rapidly, achieving a £2.5 million annual turnover and a consistent 30% growth rate.

In 2015, due to economic pressures from a slight recession and shifting focus to a sister telematics company, Great Guns faced financial difficulties. However, the brand was taken over by a competitor agency in Berkshire, which revitalized the brand with new leadership and advanced technology.

In a full-circle moment, sales and marketing expert Pierre Coombes—who began his career at Great Guns Marketing more than 12 years ago—acquired the brand to continue its legacy. Pierre shares his passion for Great Guns:

“I have always loved Great Guns Marketing. It’s where I learned so much of what I know today and where I was inspired by Liz Jackson to pursue my own business, which I founded in 2014. I started as a part-time temp and worked my way up to Business Development under Liz, who was a huge inspiration. It’s a great honor to keep the brand alive and continue delivering results for amazing clients.”

Now under Pierre’s leadership, Great Guns Marketing is focused on the future. With significant investments in cutting-edge technology and a growing team, the agency is poised for continued success and growth, proudly serving a diverse and loyal client base.
