A Bit About You
You might be here because you have read my book. Perhaps you are a member of my free community.
Or maybe I was recommended to you by a friend or colleague.
Whatever brought you here, it's likely you can identify with some of the following:
❑ You have a great product but no idea how to let more parents know about it.
❑ You are struggling to break through all the noise on social media, and/or feel as though you're leaving money on the table.
❑ Your business is doing well, but you need help taking it to the next level.
❑ You want to learn more about your customers and find out what they truly think about your products and services.
❑ You're looking for insight into your competitors, and are keen to know how parents view their products compared to yours.
❑ You'd like to seek the advice of a trained marketeer with 20 years' experience working in the child and family sector.
It doesn’t matter how great your product is, how brilliant your customer service is, or how hard you and your team have worked. If you don't implement the correct marketing strategy, you will always be selling yourself short.

A formally-trained marketeer with over 20 years’ experience in the family sector, I help companies understand mums and how best to target them.
A self-confessed polymath (I have degrees in both Applied Maths and Social Science), I have accumulated a wealth of experience in the family sector. This includes 4 years at the BBC working on children's television (I was part of the team that commissioned the Teletubbies), 2 years writing educational materials for Kumon, 10 years covering family trends for an investment firm in Tokyo, and a couple of years as head of baby product research at a London consultancy firm. In addition to this, I have created artwork that I wholesale to a selection of premium retailers, and I have also written a best-selling children's book.
In 2015, I set up the Institute of Mums to support clients within the family and baby-product industries. Part of this involved building a large social media community of over 100,000 parents that I can tap into and leverage for research purposes (my most popular post attracted more than 35 million views!) I now spend about half of my time working with large established brands, and the rest helping small businesses. I've worked with clients, covering a broad spectrum of industries, including car seats & pushchairs, education & schools, fashion, food & beverage, photography, theatre & dance, and travel & leisure.
