Real networking
for women in business
Marketing, Brand & Communications Strategist; consultant/fractional.
I help brands and founders know fully who they are and who they are for.
A bit about me...
I help brands and founders know fully WHO they are and WHO they are FOR. I help them stand out with clarity, congruency and confidence and I develop, launch, and grow brands with creativity, analysis and commercial awareness.
With 25 years’ experience in marketing and brand management, I’ve developed and launched new products, opened a spa, launched and grown brands in the UK, built multi-channel campaigns, and worked with global retailers, creative agencies and purpose-led businesses.
With proven experience in start-ups and scale-ups, B2B, B2C and B2B2C, and both consumer products and expert services, I put ‘brand impact and congruency’ at the top of the strategic agenda.
I know how to grow awareness, engagement and revenue through aligned strategy, communication that connects and spot-on execution.
Alongside my senior brand management and new product development roles, I’ve founded and run my own coaching business for over a decade, helping coaches, healers and experts elevate their positioning, messaging and offers so they attract premium, aligned clients and optimise their revenue. My approach blends strategic marketing know-how with personal transformation, giving clients both clarity and confidence to step into their expert identity and achieve their business goals.
What connects all of my work is this:
✨ Growing meaningful brands with integrity
✨ Turning ideas into strategy, and strategy into results
✨ Supporting businesses and brands to reach their next level
I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and I’m particularly excited by roles and projects in wellness, sustainability, personal growth and ethical consumer brands.
???? Whether you’re looking for a brand or marketing manager who can drive brand growth, wanting a strategic marketing consultant or freelance marketer to join your small team or you’re a coach ready to reposition, charge more and attract aligned clients, I’d love to connect.

I live with my lovely partner, young son and cute cat in Backwell near Bristol. I love nature and natural living, ecstatic dancing, gardening (particularly growing food), crafting, being witchy and seeing my friends.

Introducing what you do in a concise, confident way is an essential foundation in terms of marketing and I feel the workshop has really helped me learn how to do it well. Thanks Hils"

"Hils delivered an excellent two day intensive retreat which has helped me on a personal development and practical business level. It was also excellent timing being at the start of a new year and will enable me to move forward into 2019 with confidence. It's the start of a journey for me and the Business Boost Retreat was just that - a boost for the year ahead! "
Recommended by Corinne Thomas, Founder, Bare Beauty
"I would highly recommend Hils as a business coach. She's incredibly knowledgeable and knows what she's talking about when it comes to marketing! She really helped me to focus on the direction I'd like to take my business and come up with some really good ideas moving forwards. I will definitely use her again in the future when I next need some help."
Recommended by Amanda Barritt, Hypnotherapist
"Following a discovery call with Hils, I decided to book onto Marketing Made Simple course which was an online course with 12 modules. It was truly brilliant. It was challenging at times but Hils knows exactly what you need to know. The Online Appraisal (of all your online presence) was absolutely phenomenal and cannot recommend it highly enough. Book onto this course, Hils guides you through with positivity and fantastic feedback. I wish I'd done it years ago!!!"
