Sophie Spiteri
Marketing Manager at Mencap
“We knew constant marketing project reshuffling due to last-minute requests was a problem, but RightMarket’s ‘Project Discovery’ process provided a deep dive that shocked us by revealing the true scale, clarifying the associated costs and inefficiencies, and ultimately presenting a strong business case for change.”
