I created The Commercial Rebel for marketers who are tired of fluff, reach obsession, and marketing that doesn’t pay.
I’m Caroline Thomas — marketing strategist, cultural translator, and creator of The Profit Recall System™ and the Memory-First Methodology.
After nearly 30 years in sales and digital strategy, I realised most businesses don’t have a marketing problem — they have a memory problem. They’re spending more every quarter, yet their audience keeps forgetting them. So I built systems that fix that.
I’ve spent the past decade helping founders, consultants, and small teams replace chaos with compounding marketing. Before that, I ran UK-based agencies and trained thousands of businesses on building presence online.
Now I live in Gran Canaria, where the slower rhythm keeps my thinking grounded — and my work focused on building businesses that last, not burn out.
What I Do
At Caroline Thomas Marketing, I turn cultural intelligence and commercial strategy into frameworks that make marketing more efficient, memorable, and profitable.
I help growth-minded founders and marketing teams:
Identify the emotional and situational buying moments that drive profit (Profit Memory Maps)
Build campaigns around the cues people actually recall (The Profit Recall System™)
Measure compounding ROI through the Profit Recall Efficiency Score (PRES)
Simplify visibility and sales with the Visibility-to-Profit System
Sharpen their cultural edge through The Zeitgeist Sprint and The Marketing Zeitgeist newsletter
Every project blends culture, clarity, and commercial proof — so your marketing compounds instead of starting from scratch.
Why I Do It
Because marketing should be smart, ethical, and built for memory — not vanity metrics.
When brands stop chasing algorithms and start engineering recall, they spend less, sell more, and stay remembered longer.
That’s marketing that compounds — because remembered businesses sell cheaper.
I believe in:
Honesty over hype
Efficiency over excess
Clarity over chaos
Humour and humanity over hard-sell nonsense
Let’s Talk
If you’re ready for marketing that’s clear, compounding, and commercially efficient, without the burnout or the BS, let’s talk.
Whether you’re a founder, consultant, or marketing team, I’ll help you build a marketing system that people remember — and that keeps working long after the campaign ends.
Clients say about us

Caroline has been superb in providing me an entire social media strategy for the launch of my 2nd book, Screw Work Break Free, published by Vermilion. The strategy covered every relevant platform, target markets, hashtags, and even included a schedule of what to do when in order to avoid overwhelm! I then hired Caroline to run my Facebook ads campaign and she put in a lot of work fixing and tweaking ads to get the cost per click down. The result was an increasing in visitors and engagement to my Facebook page of thousands of percent and hundreds of new signups to my email list.
