What Makes Me Different?

I look at The Health & Performance Of The Whole Brand

My background in brand and business management means that I can look at the whole brand holistically, rather than being tunnel visioned or only able to help in one or two specific areas.

This combination of analysis, strategic thought and breadth of experience means that I won't just sell you a "package" that suits a particular skill set, but will find the right digital marketing, local marketing and branding solutions for your business.

I can just "do the work as briefed". However, my passion lies in digging a little deeper to properly get under the skin of brands. By doing this, I can see what is working and what needs tweaking.

28 Years' Unique Experiences

During my career, I have learned best practice and the importance of strategy from Nestlé (the world's largest food & beverage company), the reality of bootstrapping in startups and done everything in between.

This experience across different sectors, company sizes and disciplines (marketing, sales and events) gives me a vast and diverse set of skills to draw from. This enriches my marketing consulting, as it enables me to consider and question different aspects of business performance - and potential opportunities.

The Work Is Managed By Me

I act as your integrated marketing solutions partner.

Once we decide to move ahead together, I won't be passing your work on to inexperienced interns or 3rd party suppliers in other countries as a matter of course . I do the work myself or will tell you if I work with a carefully selected team of collaborators.

5-Star Rated Marketing Consulting

My testimonials on Linkedin and reviews on Google speak for themselves.

I will happily take on one-off pieces of work, but feel truly satisfied when longer term partnerships develop, clients turn to me for trusted marketing and business advice and pay me the ultimate compliment...start recommending me to others.

What My Clients Say

5/5
“Over the past 6 months Catherine has reviewed and helped us adjust our brand strategy and enhanced our concept development, including practical suggestions that help us with our product offer. Hiring her as our consultant has made a considerable difference to our marcomms over the past 6 months and as well as being the consummate professional, she has become our trusted partner, whom I will recommend to others.”

"Cat is the irrepressible force that keeps all the plates spinning at once behind the scenes at the charity Rebuilding Lives. This is a voluntary role, which makes her drive, determination, and passion all the more impressive. If a business owner asks, 'What could Cat do for my business?' I'd probably make a comparison to that scene in Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman is lying on the floor dying. Cat is that shot of adrenaline straight to the heart of your business. When she commits to something, she ensures it’s done exactly as promised, on schedule and to the highest standard. What she does will either make or save you money. Your team will up their game to keep up with her. The only complaint you'll have is that she isn't a full-time member of staff."

“In the relatively short time Catherine had to work with my brand so far, she has made a huge impact. From really helping to crystallise my objectives surrounding shopfront impact on homepage design, to clear branding and cohesive company aesthetics going forward. With company and competitor audits and SEO optimisation to help poke through the noise. I've lots of actionable goals to work on directly off the back of the input Catherine brought to the table. Highly recommend!."
