I cut my teeth in big business managing multi-million marketing budgets, and did
everything from hiring celebrities such as Jamie Oliver for a product launch to
managing multiple PR agencies across EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). But
despite the budgets and the glamour, I wasn't happy...So in 2005 I left
corporate and set up my own marketing agency, Page Marketing, so I could work
with passionate owners of start-ups and SME’s, helping them to realise their
visions and grow using simple, yet powerful marketing strategies. But it wasn't
plain sailing I can tell you! I experienced all of the setbacks and barriers you
can imagine - including a personal health crisis and the 2008 financial crash.
But sometimes at our worst times, comes our greatest growth as an entrepreneur.
Understanding the importance of personal development was a complete game
changer. I then went on to successfully build a team, serve hundreds of
businesses, earn my dream income, while only working part-time. Enabling me time
to volunteer for the Cherie Blair Foundation. Then a few years ago when I took a
step back to have my two amazing girls, I realised something profound... I was
ready for a pivot. I realised that my favourite part of my business was
mentoring and I also wanted to build a community and run events - hello IGNITE!
I still also keep my toe in the world of marketing, providing consultancy and
training services, which I love! Over the years, I have created incredible
businesses and a fabulous lifestyle, my mission is to help other women to enjoy
that freedom too!
