Kate Stinchcombe-Gillies, founder and communication consultant
“We met Kate a long time ago when she was working at Holiday Lettings and got in touch when we heard her on the radio. Kate has really helped us see the light and the marketing has been a revelation (not a single email that has been sent hasn’t converted for us).”
What we do
Our mission is to drive the results you seek through the development and application of a marketing communication strategy that achieves resonance with your ideal customer.
⚡️ STRATEGY
Look at where you’re at versus where you’d like to be, delve into the why and wherefore, to deliver a marketing strategy to get you on the road towards your goals, and a plan you can implement there and then.
⚡️ CONSULTANCY
Support your implementation of the strategy and plan. Oversee execution and measurement, learnings and re-thinks.
Help you get the best from your agencies and creative partners.
⚡️ MENTORING
Coach your team to understand their role in your brand communications and to be your happiest advocates.
