SUSTAINABILITY FOR ADVERTISING & MARKETING

I've been part of the marketing industry for over 30 years. After working in the corporate sector in live events and menswear, I left to work with my husband running his landscaping business. I continued to keep my marketing skills honed and I'm proud to say that we had one of the first websites in our industry in the UK's South East!  

I have always been a purpose-driven entrepreneur and when I started to learn about all the chemicals in our everyday lives, I set up as a breast health educator to share the prevention message with women in the workplace. I used my marketing skills to target businesses and delivered talks to companies such as WPP, Ogilvy and Nielsen. Alongside this I set up as a marketing freelancer and specialised in ethical marketing as I called it then. Now everyone calls it sustainability.

Over the past ten years I have run marketing strategy,implementation and project management for small businesses such as organic household brand, Greenscents, as well as campaigning organisations such as prevention charity, Breast Cancer UK and, Fashion Revolution. In recent years, I've become a sustainability advocate and freelance marketing director for a number of businesses within the tourism industry.

I have seen the problems that the marketing and advertising industry has created and I am highly motivated to help trailblazing agencies to be part of changing the narrative and catalyzing change.

Read my blog about how agencies have the power to save the world.

I started my marketing career in live events on trade shows across a wide sector of industries. I moved client-side to work for a European menswear retailer and then worked with my husband and for myself once I had a family.  This broad experience means that I have seen the best sustainable solutions in a number of different industries. I can share this knowledge and best practice with you.

As I have worked in the ethical arena for over 10 years, I have built up a substantial list of contacts. And if I don't have a specific contact, then I always know where to find one within the sustainable communities I am part of.
