✨ A lil announcement ✨

I’m officially setting up shop as a freelance Event Planner 🎉 Helping B2B SMEs & startups run great events without the stress.

I’ve thought about this a lot 😅 I’ve done the entrepreneur course. I’ve gathered the testimonials. Now comes the final leap of telling LinkedIn all about it! Honestly, this is all a bit scary (and exciting), so here goes!

✨Time to (re)introduce myself
I’m Carole 👋 I’ve spent the last 20 years planning events and running marketing for companies across the UK, Nordics, and beyond - from executive roundtables, awaydays, and community events to full-on award programmes and gala dinners. Now, I want to help you 👉B2B SMEs and startups 👈 to create memorable events that support your business goals.

✨Why am I doing this?
Because I genuinely love events, and I know how stressful they can be when they’re just one more thing on an overflowing to-do list. And I believe events are really powerful. They build relationships and trust, create momentum, and support growth.

✨Who’s this for?
- Founders who want impactful events but not the chaos.
- Small overstretched Marketing teams juggling event logistics with a gazillion other things.
- People & Culture Ops who want engaging team events without the stress.

✨Why hire a freelance event planner?
- Because you get senior-level experience without hiring full-time.
- Because you don’t need a full-on event production agency.
- Because you need someone who’s done this a lot, spots problems before they happen, keeps things moving, and lets you focus on your actual job instead of chasing caterers and speakers.

✨Why me?
- I combine event expertise + marketing thinking.
- I care about the experience and the outcome.
- I’m organised, pragmatic, and hard to fluster 😄

Sooo, if you’re thinking about an event this year or even just want to sanity-check an idea, I’m happy to chat. Drop me a message, comment below, or find out more on my website 💖
