You’re sick of throwing cupcake mix at the wall to see what sticks, and are finally getting serious about an effective content strategy to build a strong online presence

“Carly was instrumental in rolling out new social media strategies across both Grosvenor Casino’s brand and club accounts, which provided a more cohesive and structured approach resulting in increased engagement, followers, and website traffic.
Carly was required to hit the ground running, which she did with the most utmost professionalism, and her positive, can-do personality was a welcome energy to the team!”
Simon Moller
Former Social Media Manager, Grosvenor Casinos
"4 words when it comes to working with Carly: Breath. Of. Fresh. Air.
I've worked with her on a number of social-first projects over the years, but safe to say it never feels like work, whatever the task might be.
She brings tonnes of energy and smart thinking to the table, and her knowledge within the world of social is so valuable - whether that be trends, tone of voice, best practice or anything else, Carly adds so much value.
On top of that she's just a pleasure to work with. I'd collaborate with her again in a heartbeat."
Jez Furlong
Co-Founder & Creative Director, Ruffle
"I had the pleasure of working alongside Carly for 6 years, and her knowledge, work ethic, and passion for social media were outstanding. She was great to work with, always striving for excellence and exuding a genuinely lovely presence.
Her inquisitive nature and eagerness to learn about the next big thing in the world of social media meant that she was constantly researching and expanding her knowledge.
Carly deserves huge success, and anyone fortunate to work with her will benefit greatly from her expertise and enthusiasm."

“First off can I just say how utterly in love I am with everything that you have created for me! You have been a dream to work with; you have answered all of my questions and actioned all my requests to create a brand I am truly proud of and happy to share on my socials.
