Hello, my name’s Marc (with a ‘c’) Gosschalk. After seven years in leading digital media and marketing roles, I set up Hackney Roots in 2015 to work on social and creative projects. I bring together experience, know-how and connections across these interconnected environments to help people grow their business more organically.
What?
I use the word ‘organic’ to illustrate an approach rooted in helping people to express their natural character and work in synergy with others. Add some tricks of the trade and the right partners and you can grow something pretty special.
How?
- Digital Insights & Strategy
- Social Innovation & Enterprise
- Marketing, Communications & Events
Why?
Competition often leads to compromises, while personality, integrity and collaboration can go a long way. This is about doing good business and feeling good while doing it.
Clients include:
- Glow (High-Vis Knitwear Social Enterprise, winner of Best Start Up at Precious Awards)
- MYL International (Education Social Enterprise, teaching French through activities)
- Headway East (East London centre for the leading charity for survivors of Brain Injuries)
- SVS Radio (Online platform dedicated to adventurous music from the Nordics)
- Legal Geek (World’s largest community of Law Tech startups)
- Minnow (Clapham’s popular independent neighbourhood restaurant)
- Horecagroep Breda (Hospitality group with four of Amsterdam’s best-loved restaurants)
