My Story
Hello! I’m Cara, nice to meet you.
I have a love of bright colours, 70’s music and clever adverts. Along with my wonderful team of talented brand designers, I have the privilege of creating impactful branding for sustainable & innovative product brands, so they can sell confidently, get stocked by retailers and stand out on the shelf.
But how did I get here?
I began my branding career working in advertising agencies working for clients including The Times, Supernanny and Malmaison hotels.
While I loved the creative aspect of the job, I felt like a small cog in a very big agency machined and knew I could have more impact working with smaller businesses.
I was on the team responsible for marketing The Times’ website after they introduced the paywall in 2010
In 2011 my life changed forever – in the space of a year I had quit my role at a leading ad agency, travelled to Asia alone, lost my dad to cancer and decided to set up my own business.
In 2012 began providing consultancy for small businesses on creating a strong brand. I was lucky enough to get mentorship from the Prince’s Trust, which was invaluable to me at a time when not many 25-year olds were running their own businesses!
In 2013 I took on my first designer and together we were able to offer brand strategy and design.
Over the next 8 years I assembled a small team of trusted brand designers and together we created brands for more than 60 small businesses from a wide range of industries.
Highlights between then and now include giving a talk at Google Campus, attending parliament as a representative of young business owners and attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace as part of my work with The Prince's Trust.
Now.
10 years on from setting up my consultancy business, I focus on working with innovative and sustainable product businesses so that they can have the impact they deserve.
Here’s to the next decade!
If my story or what I do has resonated, please do let me know, I’d love to hear from you!
