BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
& STRATEGY
​As someone who also believes in the philosophy of delivering positive change to modern businesses, I blend insight, strategy and imagination, to help build and explore new opportunities and problems.
​
With over 10 years of experience helping to grow creative agencies, production houses and photographers, I build your new business from a wave that rises and falls to a more progressive and stable growth trajectory.
​
From goal and campaign planning, agency positioning to just marketing support, I’ve been the gatekeeper of CRM, a detective whiz for new clients, goal builder to harvesting new relationships.
All topped up with a sharp eye for new talent and opportunities, let's take your business to the next level.
​
My values of curiosity, creativity and collaboration have brought insight, ideas and growth, which has transformed them to think bigger, engage better and nurture relationships.
​
I've worked with clients who need strategic advice and direction, whereas others have needed help to establish their marketing function and require ongoing support thereafter.
​
In a many hats approach, here are some of the services I can help you with.

​
Are you all set for the year ahead?
Using insight-led research, I help set clearer goals that are realistic to implement and cut through the noise of your competitors.
Keeping my finger on the pulse of the latest trends and opportunities, I can help you drill down specific brands and agencies in which to explore new markets.

In guiding and developing artists, I help the directors to understand the industry and build on their current skills. This includes the creation of showreels; feeding back on the artists' work; keeping in touch with artists regularly; managing artists' diaries; finding supportive clients for learning opportunities; helping find sponsorship for self-initiated projects, and helping artists to interpret briefs.
By bringing together relationships with agency producers, creatives and ECDs, I have a keen interest in the production process, with a real desire to engage with the creative side of the job, all topped by a sharp eye for new talent and opportunities.
Finding and securing new directors and food stylists talent and keeping on top of the latest creative trends.
In addition to projects, I look for opportunities to engage with festivals, panels, events, and industry initiatives to celebrate Food Hall and its directors and culture. I help to explore viable avenues for Food Halls promotion with PR.
