Marie Edge is managing director of Elite Edge and works closely with our in-house team and expert freelancers to deliver client projects.

She began her career working for a corporate finance boutique, moving into marketing in 1995. She worked for several firms of accountants where her remit was twofold; marketing the practice and working within their client base providing consultancy services as a fee earner.

Realising it was the variety of client work she enjoyed most Marie formed Elite Edge in December 1999, with the remit to deliver specialist marketing support for service-based businesses. She works with a variety of professional service firms across the North West including accountants, solicitors, banks, financial services and other consultants. Unlike consultants who pay lip-service to understanding how professional firms operate, Marie knows the dynamics inside out as she has spent her entire career in this professional environment, on both sides of the fence - working for and with professional service firms. She has also helped many firms transition from using an external consultant to developing their own in-house marketing function when they are ready to do so, often mentoring staff recruited to ensure consistency.  

Based in Salford, Marie focuses on strategic planning and developing creative communications campaigns for clients.  She is the “ideas person” at Elite Edge and those who know her cannot help but be enthused by her passion and energy for all things marketing.

Marie has a wealth of experience delivering workshops and seminars and is available for speaking engagements on a range of business and marketing topics.
