We engaged TML Partners following a difficult search for a marketing automation specialist. They understood the brief and produced a high-quality shortlist in a week. Noami was efficient, the process went from brief to appointment in a month. I would be delighted to work with Naomi and TML Partners again.

I would highly recommend tml Partners, and in particular, Sean. Sean took the time to deeply understand what our requirements were and, after screening candidates, sent us over an excellent pool to review and ultimately hire from. They were professional, accessible and thorough in their work and I would definitely work with them again in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I had a fantastic experience working with TML Partners during the recruitment process for a new role. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly supportive, transparent, and genuinely helpful. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she made every step of the journey feel smooth and well-guided. Emma is a true professional and an absolute credit to TML Partners. I couldn’t recommend her — or the company — more highly.

"My whole experience with tml Partners and specifically Hannah the recruiter for my position was first class. The approach to ensure really clear alignment between what I was looking for and the role was in place from the 1st phone call right through to the end of the process. Hannah kept me up to date throughout the whole process, was a brilliant support both pre and post interviews and a great liaison with my new company. I really appreciated the additional check ins prior to key interview days. Would highly recommend both as a candidate but also as a hiring manager to consider tml Partners."

"My experience with TML Recruitment Agency has always been exceptional across the board, but I specifically would like to single out Khushi Patel. From our first interaction, Khushi demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets her apart in the recruitment industry. In the years since, what continues to impress me most is her deep understanding of the marketing and communications landscape. She takes the time to thoroughly understand experience, specialised skills, and strategic capabilities before suggesting relevant opportunities. Her advice is always on point, practical, and tailored. I highly recommend TML Recruitment Agency, and specifically Khushi Patel, to any marketing and communications professional looking to advance their career.and/or grow their teams."

My experience working with tml partners has been a very positive one. The search consultant was thoroughly researched, very much on top of her client's brief, genuinely interested in motivation - both for the role and longer term career- timely and crystal clear on steps to be taken. She was also open about the client's focus and key considerations. I found that because of her preparation and thought given to candidate's aspirations, trust and rapport were easily established and sustained. This reflected very well on the client and tml partners.

"I was fortunate to be recommended to Selina and her team at tml Partners while exploring the next step in my career. From our very first conversation, Selina's approach stood out. She genuinely listened, taking the time to understand my career journey to date and what the ideal senior commercial sales leadership role would look like for me. Selina went beyond surface-level discussions, delving deeply into what drives and motivates me. She offered invaluable coaching on my personal brand and positioning, helping me to clarify and articulate my professional strengths. Together, we not only identified current opportunities but also mapped out a list of target firms that aligned with my aspirations. Thanks to Selina's guidance, persistence, and strategic insight, I secured a meeting with the CMO of a targeted firm I had long admired. That meeting opened the door to a truly exciting opportunity, with the organisation recognising how my skills and experience could contribute significant value during a period of growth and transformation. I am immensely grateful to Selina for her expertise, unwavering support, and genuine care throughout the process – it was seamless and empowering! Selina is not just a market leader in executive search – she is a true partner who consistently goes above and beyond. Thank you, Selina, for giving me the confidence, clarity, and encouragement to pursue my dream role… I'm excited about what lies ahead!"

The Head of Marketing and the Chief Marketing Officer are distinct in seniority and scope, though the boundary varies by organisation. A CMO typically sits on the executive leadership team, owns brand and marketing strategy at the highest level, and has influence across the full business. A Head of Marketing operates below that level, focusing on delivering the strategy through teams, campaigns, and channels. In smaller businesses, the Head of Marketing may perform elements of both roles.
Most businesses look to hire a Head of Marketing when their marketing function has grown beyond the capacity of a single manager or generalist, and when they need someone to bring structure, accountability, and strategic direction to a team. It’s also a common hire during periods of organisational change, brand repositioning, or when a business is scaling and needs more rigorous commercial alignment from its marketing output.
Recruiting a Head of Marketing requires a clear brief, a realistic understanding of market salaries, and access to a wide enough talent pool to assess both active and passive candidates. Working with a specialist marketing recruitment agency – one with deep knowledge of the marketing landscape — significantly improves the quality and speed of the search. tml Partners focuses exclusively on marketing and commercial leadership hiring, giving clients access to a pre-vetted network of experienced marketing professionals.
For a role as important as a Head of Marketing, a specialist marketing recruiter will almost always deliver a better outcome than a generalist agency. Specialist recruiters understand the nuances of the role, have established relationships with high-calibre marketing professionals who aren’t actively job-seeking, and can assess candidates against role-specific competencies more accurately. tml Partners works exclusively in marketing and commercial recruitment, which means every search benefits from deep functional expertise and a curated talent network.
Yes, and it’s a highly practical option in a number of scenarios – covering a period of transition, supporting a specific campaign or product launch, or providing senior marketing leadership while a permanent search is underway. Interim Heads of Marketing can typically be placed faster than permanent hires and offer flexibility without long-term commitment. tml Partners provides both permanent and interim Head of Marketing recruitment across a wide range of sectors.
tml Partners recruits Heads of Marketing across a broad range of sectors including financial services, professional services, technology, FMCG, consumer markets, B2B, life sciences, private equity-backed businesses, sports and entertainment, and not-for-profit organisations. This cross-sector depth means clients benefit from insight into how the Head of Marketing role is structured and compensated across industries, and candidates can be assessed against a genuinely wide benchmark.
