Marketing Mentor | Coach

Develop your marketing skills or support someone on your team

Looking for a cheerleader, go-to advice-giver, voice of experience when you’re feeling overwhelmed, or simply a brainstorming buddy? I might just be your new best friend.

Whether you’re in business for yourself or looking for a way to support and develop someone on your team, having a marketing mentor to check in with is a great way to stay motivated, confident, and on track.

If you’re in a corporate environment or local government, you may already have access to a great creative agency or PR firm but don’t feel completely confident in briefing them to get the best results. I can help. Or maybe you have an in-house marketing team you’re not getting the most from. Or you have heaps of great ideas but aren’t sure how best to present them to key stakeholders. These are just some of the areas I can support you with, helping you to develop your own skills and confidence along the way.

We’ll start by having a chat to determine how you and your business will get the most from my support. Then, I’ll tailor your mentoring program to suit. Perhaps you want advice in a specific area or support to get a complicated project over the line? Or maybe you’d rather freestyle things a little and simply talk through whatever challenge or question happens to be uppermost in your mind.

There’s no pressure to take on a long-term contract, but obviously, the more we work together, the more insight I’ll gain into how to support you best, as well as the unique strengths and challenges of your business. Alternatively, you might find that a random hour here and there is all you need when you’re feeling a bit stuck. Or, if you’re looking for more structured support, you could also consider one of my consulting packages.

With marketing experience that spans tiny start-ups to multinational megastars (and pretty much everything in between), there’s a good chance I have the skills and insight to support you with whatever challenge you’re facing.
