About Mark Chambers — Bilingual Marketing Consultant, Italy

About

I’m Mark Chambers — a British–Italian marketing and brand consultant based in Brescia since 1997. For over twenty years I’ve helped SMEs, start-ups, artisans and manufacturers build stronger brands, better websites and marketing that brings in the right customers — in English and in Italian.

I hold dual British and Italian nationality and work natively in both languages, which is the heart of what I do: carrying Italian brands into the UK and international markets, and international brands into Italy, with the tone and culture of each market handled by the same person. You get one senior contact from first brief to finished work — no account managers, no junior handoffs.

My work spans brand identity, digital marketing, SEO and AI-search (GEO), and WordPress and WooCommerce web design, across sectors from manufacturing and industrial to retail, design and tourism. I work on the ground in Brescia, Verona and Bergamo, and fully remote with clients further afield.

I work by method and data, not guesswork — and I’d rather give you the honest version than the comfortable one. If you want to see the work, my client references and LinkedIn recommendations are a click away.

Experience and skills

Over more than twenty years, I’ve worked across the full breadth of marketing for small and medium-sized Italian businesses: marketing strategy, brand identity, art direction, and graphic design for both print and screen.

I manage website projects end to end — WordPress, Joomla and other CMS platforms, with SEO, email marketing (DEM), SEM and web hosting — and e-commerce projects on WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Shopify. Alongside that, I run social media marketing across Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Google Business, TikTok and YouTube, and I direct video.

For more than seven years, I’ve worked specifically in the cycling industry — marketing strategy, bilingual customer care in Italian and English, international sales, brand ambassador work and lead generation. That includes building and running online communities, and handling press and public relations at international trade shows and with national and international media.

More recently, I’ve added hands-on experience as brand manager for an Italian rugby club, as an Airbnb and Booking.com hospitality owner-manager, and as the owner of an international eyewear e-commerce business — running the marketing and the operations, not just advising on them.

What makes the difference

It’s the combination. I bring project and team management alongside brand identity and marketing strategy; B2B and B2C public relations; and real below-the-line, operative experience — the hands-on kind, not just the slide-deck kind. My bilingual British–Italian background is built for international trade and public relations, and as an independent consultant you get all of it from one senior contact, directly, with no handoffs.
