Marketing for D2C start-ups

Insights shared by marketing experts with extensive experience in scaling start-ups in the D2C subscription space.

I possess a fervent enthusiasm for entrepreneurial ventures, particularly fast-growing startups and SMEs, coupled with a profound comprehension of their dynamic landscape.
After an early-stage career in Banking and the Fiduciary sector, I spent 10 years in the world of major Beauty corporations (Beiersdorf and Coty Prestige) before transitioning to SMEs in 2017, where I held C-management roles (CMO, CCO, MD) and served on the Director’s board. Additionally, I am a staunch supporter of beauty excellence, actively endorsing brands that align with this philosophy.
With a wealth of experience, I serve as a seasoned Strategic Consultant and Business Mentor to both UK-based and international enterprises. My track record includes catalysing the growth of multinational corporations, SMEs, and startups across various global markets.
My true passion lies in sharing knowledge and helping to develop people and small businesses, which I&apos;ve done by consulting and mentoring other business owners, throughout my career, and as a mentor since 2022 to Startups and SME’s founders, as well as on the UK government &apos;Help to Grow&apos; scheme, and at LSE- London School of Economics on the ‘LSE Generate’ acceleration programme to LSE student and alumni startup ventures.

It has never been easier to start a brand and while barriers to entry are low, new brands are launching every day. Consumers have an endless supply of choices available to them and have become more selective and discerning. Their expectations go beyond a good product and good customer service. They have learned to see through once dependable marketing tactics and have become permanently ad-saturated.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Post-pandemic, community has become key to consumers. Brands that put their customers front and centre, facilitating connection and giving them a sense of belonging, are the ones most likely to thrive.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I know that this approach comes with its own set of challenges, which is why I help brands bring to life community flywheels that bring real value to the business and its most dedicated advocates. I don’t believe in the old agency model and work directly with founders, marketing teams and other key stakeholders, offering specialised guidance through flexible support. I want to build brands with impact, by helping them harness the power of community.
