Here’s how I can help your business thrive: 

  • Turn customer insight into winning brand and marketing plans.

My competitive edge

I turn ambitious marketing visions into award-winning results that meet business goals. 
With a track record of driving multi-million-pound growth, I thrive on creating brands and campaigns that over-achieve business results and get noticed. 

About me

I’ve spent over 20 years helping businesses transform their marketing strategies into real-world success stories. At Hasbro, I revitalised the global Monopoly brand, launching new products and campaigns that doubled sales to over $400m and boosted profitability as well as winning a prestigious Cannes Digital Lion award.  At Birds Eye, I led the launch of a new sub-brand that generated £50 million revenue in its first year, winning FMCG Launch of the Year award (Kantar). 

While at Butlin’s, I drove significant growth in bookings through targeted demand-capture campaigns and website optimisation. At Hiscox Insurance, I developed marketing strategies targeting SMEs and high-net-worth individuals and driving the 7th fastest brand growth of any a brand in the UK at the time and over 10% growth in sales. Most recently, I’ve brought my expertise to smaller organisations The Design and Technology Association increased their penetration into primary schools from 6% to 20% with my help and DB Wider Fit Shoes have achieved record growth in the past 3 years with no additional marketing spend. Whether working with global corporations or small businesses, I thrive on turning marketing challenges into measurable growth opportunities. 

Fun facts
  • I have created two marketing campaign at separate companies that generated so much demand they crashed the website—a lesson in scaling! 
  • I once represented Monopoly on Good Morning America (US TV show) alongside Mr Monopoly! He told me the best strategies to win a game.
