Client Reviews

Proud to have supported
★★★★★
Katy is a dedicated & trustworthy Marketing pro. Having worked with Katy during her time at Nike and most recently on a freelance basis, I can validate all the great work she brings to the team. Katy’s positive & solution oriented approach is highly regarded and you know you can always count on Katy to deliver. We had a confidential, remote project to manage in the UK with an elite athlete and we needed someone on the ground we could trust, Katy was our number one choice. Katy was calm, clear and we thank her dearly for her committed approach to the project which was requested on short notice. The output of the project was excellent and the content was viewed by millions of consumers through our UK partner.

I’m a marketing and brand leader with more than 24 years’ experience working with global brands, fast-growth businesses and franchise networks. My background spans fashion, sporting goods, health & wellness and home interiors, with experience delivering brand strategy, marketing programmes and customer experiences across both digital and physical environments. Most recently I have led the national marketing strategy for Anytime Fitness UK & Ireland, supporting a network of more than 185 locations, and previously spent a decade at Nike leading brand and retail storytelling across EMEA markets. Alongside in-house leadership roles, I’ve also supported organisations including ASOS and eBay, working on marketing strategy, partnerships and service launches. Today I support businesses that need senior marketing and brand expertise to bring clarity, structure and momentum to their marketing and brand development. That might involve: • shaping brand strategy • developing marketing plans • launching campaigns or propositions • improving customer journeys • supporting franchise or partner marketing • providing interim leadership during periods of growth or change I combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, and I’m comfortable working closely with founders, executive teams and marketing departments to help turn ideas into meaningful results. Outside of work, I enjoy architecture, travel, motorsport and the occasional theme park visit — always with an eye on how brands create memorable experiences.
