Most marketing only adds to the noise - effective marketing that drives profitable growth requires real expertise and ongoing focus to actually deliver the results. I have worked in-house both here and in the UK, and driven results across large-size, SME and start-up fashion businesses for brands including TOPSHOP TOPMAN, River Island, Monsoon Accessorize, David Lawrence, JETS Swimwear and The DOM. I work now as an outsourced marketing & digital director. Get the marketing expertise your fashion business needs – for a fraction of the cost. Feel free to touch base if you need help.
