Jem Marketing’s bold rise from start-up to standout earns national recognition in just months
Just four months after launching her business, Melanie Brook, Founder and Director of Jem Marketing, has been named a Finalist in the Devon Women in Business Awards and a Semi-Finalist in the West Country Women’s Awards, both in the Best New Start-Up category.
Founded in June 2025, Jem Marketing delivers consultancy and fractional CMO services tailored for the UK holiday park industry and the B2B businesses that support it. With a clear mission and a fearless approach, Brook’s business is already making waves in a niche sector often underserved by traditional marketing agencies.
“I was surprised — but very pleasantly so,” says Brook. “Just a few months ago, I was leading marketing inside a holiday park. Now, I’ve stepped out to build something of my own — and it proves that moving out of your comfort zone can lead to something extraordinary.”
Her success will be celebrated on 16th October, when she attends the West Country Women’s Awards Finals Event, followed by the Devon Women in Business Awards Final on 14th November 2025. Both occasions mark major milestones in what has been a fast-moving, purpose-driven journey for this new Devon-based business.
“There are some fantastic businesses in these categories,” adds Brook. “To be included among them so soon is an honour and a huge motivator to keep going.”
These recognitions highlight not only Brook’s personal determination but also Jem Marketing’s commitment to empowering the UK’s holiday park industry through smarter, data-driven strategy and honest marketing mentorship.
