We’re experienced professionals dedicated to helping Southend-on-Sea businesses grow and succeed online.
Meet Adam
Founder & Digital Strategist
Why I Started CDM
Hey, I'm Adam — founder of CDM Marketing Ltd. I grew up in Essex and built my first businesses there — from a cleaning company to asbestos services and online competitions — handling all the marketing myself. Building websites, running campaigns, and figuring out what actually works (and what's just hype).
CDM Marketing is still registered in Southend-on-Sea, but I now live in Suffolk — which is why we genuinely serve both counties (and into Norfolk) rather than just listing towns on a page. Real local knowledge, not a templated service area.
After hiring a few agencies and seeing disappointing results, I realised I could deliver better work than many so-called pros. So I started CDM — to give UK businesses the strategy and support I wish I had: no guesswork, just results.
