My approach to work centres around my values; having integrity, being honest and genuine, and making things happen; whether it getting results or showing you a new strategic perspective for your business to grow.
I work remotely. It keeps my costs low and creativity high. I work a range of hours and time zones to meet my client's needs.
To achieve commercial objectives, I conduct research to understand your customers and marketplace. Answering questions such as what's your current position in the market, what is your customer's perception of your brand and what resonates with them.
Using the research, I create an informed, commercial marketing strategy and actionable marketing plans with campaign concepts. I can help you implement and project manage the plans. Delivering results based on your commercial and business objectives.
