Free marketing resource bundles available

Introducing Donna Creative's free marketing resource bundles

I’ve got something I’m really excited to share today, the launch of a brand-new Resources hub at Donna Creative. It’s packed with free, practical tools, these are checklists, planners, audits that I use with clients every day.


Now, they’re available to you.


Why I built this

Over my 18 years in NHS communications and 10 years in the charity space, one recurring challenge always stood out: organisations often have good intentions and great ideas, but their messaging, strategy, or campaign planning gets stuck in complexity or inconsistency.


So many times, a little structure, so the right question asked, the right template used, can turn confusion into clarity, and good results into great ones.


That’s what this resource area is all about. I wanted to give you the same foundational tools I use with clients, so you can:

  • Audit your brand and messaging
  • Plan your marketing with confidence
  • Engage your audience more meaningfully
  • Execute campaigns with clarity and coherence


And yes — they’re totally free.


What's inside the bundles

I've  grouped the tools into three bundles to make it easy to find what you need, and I will continue to add to these. Each resource is designed to be easy to use with steps and ideas that you can put into action straight away.

Bundle What's in it Who it's for
Brand and messaging Brand health checklist, and messaging audit checklist If you want to make sure your brand is working as hard as it should and your messaging is consistent
Strategy and planning Marketing strategy checklist, and campaign planner If you're mapping out your year, launching something new, or want clarity around direction
Engagement and content Survey engagement template, and social media tracker For anyone wanting to build connection with their audiences and track what's working

Supporting you along the way

These tools are meant to empower you, but they’re not meant to replace collaboration.

If, as you use them, you find gaps or feel unsure about next steps, I’d love to help.


Whether that’s refining your core messages, aligning strategy, or bringing cohesion to a campaign, that’s exactly the work I live for.


Get in touch anytime. I’d be glad to help turn those gaps into opportunities.
