&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve worked in marketing for over 15 years and I love it! No two days are the same and it&amp;rsquo;s this variety that makes marketing so special for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last company I worked for, Constant Contact, gave me the opportunity to work with 100s of small businesses across the UK. It was the best three years I&amp;rsquo;ve had in a job! The business owners I met were (and still are) incredible. And there&amp;rsquo;s a brilliant community for small businesses. You could say I was bitten by the small business bug.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2016, I was made redundant. I knew I still wanted to work with small businesses, so when my husband said I should start my own business, I didn&amp;rsquo;t need a huge amount of convincing. After all, I loved sharing marketing tips with small business owners, and this way, I could do it all the time. How could I not love that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if you struggle with getting your marketing done, I&amp;rsquo;d love to hear from you. You didn&amp;rsquo;t start your business to become a marketing expert. You do what you do because you love it. I want to help you figure out the marketing stuff so that you can make money! It&amp;rsquo;s as simple as that. When you succeed, so do I. Plus, I get a warm glow knowing I helped you. Get in touch and tell me your marketing struggles. I want to help demystify marketing for you so you can get on with the business of running your business!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started my career in journalism and was lucky that the content marketing revolution meant my particular skills - storytelling, audience engagement, creative idea generation&amp;nbsp;and so on - were soon in demand in the business world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From drawing out the heart of a brand&amp;#39;s message to creating powerful headlines and calls to action that drive... well, action... I help businesses stand back and ask the question, &amp;quot;So what?&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s what separates indulgent copy from copy that hits the mark with target customers / clients and actually achieves a business goal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality and precision are central to everything I do and&amp;nbsp;I have brought together a team of skilled professionals who have the same&amp;nbsp;level of commitment to doing their jobs to the best of their ability every day.&lt;/p&gt;
