One trusted and skilled creative partner who wants you to succeed. Clients in 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧. Sharing my valuable lessons and experiences.

My journey into entrepreneurship and skill-building began when I was 11, growing up in a city of 16,000 people in Northern Europe. Not because someone told me to, but because I was genuinely curious. What began as experiments with side hustles and content creation turned into a lifelong pursuit of learning, serving, and building. Over the last 14+ years, I have taught myself everything I know. Through trial, failure, and relentless improvement.

From creating and editing YouTube videos to even building an online community for thousands around shared interests when I was 14, every step was driven by curiosity and a desire to offer value. Leading and promoting game servers, learning the dynamics of digital platforms, and finding ways to bring people together.

That early start gave me an edge: not just in technical knowledge, but in emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and the ability to truly understand what people need. I've had the honor to work with clients ranging from emerging startups to 7-8 figure businesses and respected influencers worldwide. I care deeply about helping people and businesses win. Freeing up their time by solving real problems and elevating their online presence.

Besides that, my digital presence has grown steadily over the years. Built not on trends or collaborations, but on consistency, clarity, and care. What started on Instagram has reached over 35,000 followers, with LinkedIn now approaching 20,000 followers. Across platforms, more than 60,000 people are part of this awesome journey. Drawn not just to the content, but to the values and vision behind it.

Today, I'm still building. Still solving. Still sharing what I've learned with others. Alongside client work, I'm laying the foundation for a new global community. A space rooted in service, legacy, and long-term thinking where people don't just grow their businesses, but also become better people.

I have always believed in practical solutions, long-term relationships, and the kind of innovation that starts small, even if it takes more time to achieve. The future? It's still unfolding. But the mission stays the same: to serve, lead, and build something worth passing on. Something that makes our lives better collectively.

If you're curious about the experience my clients have had working with me, feel free to explore the recommendations below. Changing the world. One decision, one person, one legacy at a time.

But the question you need to ask yourself:

Which one would you like to be to yourself?

Of course, there are moments when you're 
the one who has to push yourself forward.

Who says it's time to get up or take a step.

Who won't give up when facing challenges.

The truth is, finding that balance between 
both sides is something that can work best.

So we know when to celebrate small wins,

And when to push ourselves a little more.

Because that balance between both sides 
helps us to adjust when it's really needed.

By the end of the day, those are our goals,

And nobody else will achieve them for us.

We need to show up for ourselves daily.

So figure out when to be your own friend 
and when to test your current limitations.

Humanizing Business -- Strategic Marketing Consultancy

What can your marketing do to increase customer acquisition & maintain customer retention?
How can your marketing influence your current customers, to renew or add on more services from your brand?
As a B2B service business CEO are you seeking the solutions to these questions?

The answer is in your marketing. Marketing which brings forth the X-factor of your brand and 
creates a strong emotional engagement.

The usual way of looking at growth is through numbers i.e., in sales revenue & profitability. 
However, it’s not the view your buyer or prospect has!
This is THE most important part to understand.

Your buyer or prospect is human. With stress, worries, hopes and aspirations. Just like you.

As humans our attention is goes to what helps us solve a pressing immediate need. 
This behaviour is influenced by the content, technology, and value that a brand communicates.
We do this as we are emotionally driven. Our behaviour is an outcome of feelings we have. 
It’s how we are wired.

How do you tap into this feeling?
By creating experiences that stick! 
That connect emotionally and makes one FEEL-GOOD!

When your marketing does that, you’re starting to control the outcome.
By putting people first your brand communicates that it cares. It communicates that you appreciate 
and recognise your customer as an individual. As a person.
It humanizes your business.

Creating people-centric marketing strategies that deliver growth is what we do at #humanizingbusiness
Let’s get on a call to talk about what your marketing needs.

We currently work with B2B service businesses in the Accounting, Executive Training & Leadership Coaching, Legal, Healthcare, Infrastructure Engineering industries, guiding their marketing 
in humanizing their business.

Group Brand Director

Most Professional Services Business owners struggle with creating a marketing strategy that finds the right mix between building authority and showing the value of their services. 
 
And let me tell you this, that it is quite easy to achieve consistent growth when they actually utilise the key uniqueness of their business.
 
The fact is Professional Service Businesses are built on relationships and to do that the approach needs to be "Human centric”, because as per science "humans" make decisions based on their emotions. This makes “people" who use your services, people who work for you, and those who are associated with your business, at the center of everything you do. Right from how you develop your offers, to how you market them, and to how you trigger those emotional decisions in your potential clients.
 
I started Humanizing Business to help business owners champion the human factor in their marketing. I believe we can do better than the status quo when it comes to creating marketing strategy, branding and content strategy for your business. 
And I want to help you achieve it.
 
I work with my clients as a partner who understands their consumers and create strategies 
to trigger the right emotions and makes the right connections that deliver sustainable results for their business.

Hello, I’m Joy and I run a strategic marketing consulting business that helps you achieve 3 essential business KPIs:
1) revenue growth
2) reduced client acquisition cost
3) growing brand preference

With 35 years of marketing and content strategy experience I help businesses achieve consistent and sustainable growth through growing communities on the strength of genuine, trusting relationships.

DM me and let's work together.
