Our Services
Special Economic Zones need to be more than the sum of the different functions that happen within them, so creating an appropriate marketing strategy is critical for this to happen.
In an increasingly competitive world economy, Countries, regions and designated economic zones have to work harder to attract high quality investment, and developing the right marketing toolkit is a core part of this.
Gareth John Consulting works closely with our clients to really understand the key drivers of the locations market opportunity and how this can be translated into compelling and action-able sales-led marketing propositions.
Effective Investment Promotion in competitive economies require the delivery organisation to have a range of differing skill sets, through strategy development, sales, marketing, project delivery, investor care, and proposition development as minimum requirements for effective operations.
Ensuring that the customer is front and centre of the organisation can be difficult to achieve in multi-stakeholder environments, where competing priorities frequently cloud the organisational focus.
The team at Gareth John Consulting have been supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) in many countries, especially in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.
Working closely with multi-lateral funding Agencies such as the World Bank, IFC and the Asian Development Bank, as well as with the UK’s Department of International Development, we have been primarily supporting SDG 8, to deliver decent work and economic growth.

When we needed a bespoke, tailor-made account management training, Gareth was able to grasp the challenges and issues that we were facing and devise and deliver a top class programme for our whole team
Through a carefully selected process Gareth was chosen to run some training sessions on Inward Investment/Lead Generation. The training sessions were excellent, enjoyable and most importantly informative, which will prove invaluable both practically and strategically for us going forward. It was a pleasure to work with someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about growing and developing individuals and businesses.
When PA Consulting won the UK FDI delivery contract in 2011, we only wanted to partner with the most experienced professionals in Inward Investment.Gareth John came to us highly recommended, and we have now worked together for over 3 years, during which he has worked on a number of projects for us and has always provided an excellent service across a wide range of investment promotion skills.
Thank you for nurturing this project with us over the past 10 months and taking us to the next stage.I am aware that it has been a difficult task and hard work-but we got there in the end.
Gareth has been working with us over the past three years to shape and develop our marketing modules at Masters and Diploma level.During this time, his modules and teaching style have proved immensely popular with the students, evidenced by the positive student feedback, and he has added a new dimension to the development of the teaching of Marketing at the School.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gareth John who has done a superb job as Interim Communications Director in leading the handling of major regional issues, including flooding and foot and mouth through the summer, and playing a major role in accelerating the rate of change in the Communications function.
