Social Media Strategist and Trainer

Having had huge successes managing social media for Nexus Studios in Shoreditch and Hotblack Desiato estate agents in North London, I decided to specialise in this area. I quit the day job to study Social Media Management with Digital Mums.  I graduated in October 2017 with 100% in all modules.

Nexus Studios

Ensuring the amazing and extremely varied work at Nexus Studios was made public I wrote press releases and ensured all new content was positioned in it's most advantageous publications, on the website and all the Nexus social media at the correct times. I established and maintained trade contacts, headed up the Social Media strategy and wrote new content for the Nexus Studios website.

Head Of Public Relations

Hotblack Desiato - Estate Agents

In order to maintain their position as long standing, local estate agents I created and implemented marketing and advertising campaigns for the three offices.  I created ideas and I worked with designers, printers, magazines etc to implement those ideas and ensure the company's presence in North London was strong and consistent. I also looked after Hotblack Desiato's social media: twitter, facebook and pinterest.

Marketing Executive

Petts and Clay Casting

Working with the wonderful Tree Petts, we cast actors for commercials, music videos, broadcast, short films etc.
Our speciality was street casting - not an easy way to find talent - but we did it!

Casting Director

Freelance

Setting up film shoots from hiring crew to booking studios, locations, caterers, props, camera equipment etc.  Ensuring everything stayed within an strict budget so constantly negotiating on prices, juggling money (usually thousands of pounds) to enable the shoot to happen on the given day.  Overseeing the post production process so working with post production houses, editors etc working on the project.  A great deal of tenacity, organisation and patience required throughout!

He’s taller than he looks on screen!

In fact he’s a bit of a man mountain and look how tiny he makes me look! 

I had the absolute delight to meet one of my online heroes yesterday at the fabulous* SocialDay ® B2B conference. 

One thing which was no surprise at all was his personality 💜

I have known Joe Glover online for years and watched The Marketing Meet Up grow and grow. 

Without making him too big headed and saying how lovely, kind and generous he is online - he did not disappoint in person. 

True authenticity at it’s best!  

Although, Joe, you may want to lower your camera in future😂

* I will be talking about the amazing learnings from B2B Social Day in another post, because it is the BEST conference I attend. Thank you to Andy Lambert and Luan Wise 💜

Talked. Trained. Rode. Learned. Some lovely catch-ups and some brand new connections! October went by in a flash. If we crossed paths, it was great to see you! 💜

Started October by swapping my laptop for my Lycra and rode across the mountains from Milan to Rome with Ride25 Ltd, raising funds for 1moreChild. 🚵‍♀️

Met brilliant business founders along the way, we were over 80 riders in total, pedalling, chatting and raising money. 🚴🏻‍♀️

🔸 A conference by the sea…yes please! Brighton SEO. 
So many takeaways: 
=>> Use the whole of the internet to get visibility on AI (yes including LinkedIn) and answering potential clients' questions will help you too (dare I say I told you so?!). 

🔸 Presented a special edition of LinkedIn especially for Project Managers at the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT ,  Tony Fleming won a book and it was great to see Lochmar MacKay who I first met on Ride25.

🔸 A very proud moment as my daughter Zella graduated from LAMDA - very proud mum! 🧡

🔸 Joined Robert Craven and the GYDA crew at the Tower of London, so many insights as usual and such a supportive group.

🔸 Met my new Toastmasters group at @Angel Speakers! The focus this month for me is to think about my TED X talk - apparently there's one in all of us! 🤩

🔸 Ran an online session with the University of Westminster to help their students find and connect with their ideal employers. 

🔸 And finally caught up with the The Worshipful Company of Marketors at a pub night lock in! Lots of useful tips and fun people.

Phew, lots of exciting things planned for November! How about you?

What is an 'emoji palette'?

It's a phrase I created to help my clients use emojis in a purposeful and strategic way.

Rather than splatter a mix of different emojis all over the place, use a select group of emojis with thought and care.

We're talking about branding here. When you become known for using a certain group of emojis and people see those emojis, they will think of you.

Encouraging your colleagues to help choose and use a group of emojis is not only fun, it also gives them a sense of autonomy and unity.

Two companies I see doing this really well are:

🟣 SAAS company SourceWhale  - no prizes for guessing which emoji they use 🐳!

🟠 Global Licensing company Fanattik  who happen to have a 🧠 as their logo!

These companies use their 'one' emoji in their company page posts, personal profile posts and also in their headlines. Brilliant use of emojis for  rand recognition.

You can also use an emoji in your name. Not only is it really powerful from a branding POV, it also helps filter out the bots. Bots can't read emojis!

How far do you take your branding? Are you ready to embrace emojis?

Your profile is more than words, it’s about your story, your values, your expertise.

Is your LinkedIn profile showing your whole story?

Does Your LinkedIn profile actually sell you?

🔸 Who you are
🔸  What you do
🔸   Why you're the person to work with

If it doesn’t?

Time for a refresh. 🫖

Confession time - I have a bit of a girl crush. 

Eek yes, but on who? 

On Samantha Kelly! 

When Twitter was a thing (and a good, useful thing), and the Tweeting Goddess was everywhere, I always wanted to meet her. When I was working with Sharon Kearns, I was desperate for Sharon to introduce me to Samantha - but never dared ask! (You never knew that did you Sharon?!).

So I was super excited when Samantha asked me to be on her live show!

Brand You Magazine, a subscription-based, one-of-a-kind, bi-monthly publication for female entrepreneurs, has two missions; 

➡️  To inspire, educate and bring support to our readers in the creation and growth of their brands and businesses. 
➡️  To shine a light on the current rise of female entrepreneurs by offering a reputable PR platform for B2B female experts.

Created for women by women, our readers can be inspired by the highs of business life, while getting useful tips and tricks to help navigate the difficult points, from experts who have the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills to an avid audience.  It’s a win-win situation. This is what distinguishes Brand You Magazine from all other mainstream publications – available in digital or in print.

As Brand You Magazine celebrates its second anniversary in May 2023, we’re very excited to see how our reach and reputation are continuing to grow exponentially, our concept being validated by so many and from receiving testimony that sisterliness and collaboration are well and truly alive and kicking!
