Let’s talk about what’s next

Whether you’re looking for clearer positioning, stronger marketing, mentoring support or simply space to think more strategically about your next stage of growth, I’d love to hear more about your organisation and what you’re working through.

I work with:

  • Creative agencies

  • Founder-led businesses and start-ups

  • Charities and social enterprises

  • Leadership teams navigating growth or change

Some clients come to me with a very clear brief. 

Others simply know something feels unclear, inconsistent or stuck.

Both are completely fine.

A first conversation is an opportunity to step back, explore where things are now and talk honestly about what support might help move things forward.

  • “Laura is a skilled communicator and a thoughtful and engaged collaborator. I had the pleasure of working with Laura on a major building opening in London where she played a pivotal role in the communications, marketing, writing, and event planning for a complicated announcement. She is also a delightful person and fun to work with!”

    Amanda de Beaufort, Director of Communications, Studio Libeskind

  • “I wish we had found Laura before re-developing our website! The website review workshop was one of the most helpful sessions we’ve conducted as business. Not only was the session, engaging, insightful and informative but the follow up process of detailed notes, implementation plan and structure means we can realistically get the project over the line efficiently and every team member knows their responsibility. Laura provides valuable suggestions but also facilitates the session in a way where the ideas actually come from within the team as well. I would highly recommend for businesses & self employed individuals to undertake this workshop, we are excited about the changes we have made and they have really had a huge impact on our business!”

    Chris Larkin, Director, Hashtag Creative Media

  • “Having been employed in a large firm for my whole career to date, setting up my own business as an independent notary was daunting. I knew local marketing and a website were going to be important parts of making my business a success but I had no experience in these areas and didn't really know where to start. My sessions with Laura helped me to understand what marketing channels would work for me and how I could market myself whilst staying true to my business values. I really appreciated that she gave me the skills and confidence to do some bits myself and had the right contacts for the bits where I really needed a professional. As a result of our time together, I had my branding and a new website ready to launch as well as a solid understanding of how I could market my services locally. I was able to come back to her with questions and it was reassuring always knowing she was there if I needed extra support.”

  • “As the sole director of Spybey Digital, I can find it difficult to carve out the necessary time to focus on the business’ strategy and future growth, away from day-to-day client delivery. My monthly sessions with Laura hold me accountable, make me think about the bigger picture, strategies and reconnect with the reasons why I started this business. With her own experience of running an agency, she’s been a brilliant sounding board to help me overcome pinch points and focus my decision-making. Most importantly, she’s supported me whilst injecting some fun back into running a business which can at times feel like a lonely and overwhelming task.”

    Kat Spybey, Founder at Spybey Digital_

  • "I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. On several occasions in the last six months, we have had critical projects to manage that have fallen outside of our day-to-day work and we have been able to pass them over to Laura knowing that they will be carried out professionally, efficiently and to an extremely high standard. We have been delighted with the results".

    Katie Tait, Director of Communications at Maggie’s

  • “I had the absolute pleasure of engaging Laura on my project that involved both creating a website and developing a content strategy. Laura's contributions were fundamental to the project's success. Her timely and professional approach made all the difference, ensuring that every aspect of the project ran smoothly and efficiently. Laura's expertise and dedication were evident throughout, from the initial concept discussions to the final product. I was particularly impressed with her ability to translate our ideas into a compelling content strategy that resonated with our audience. Her creative insights and strategic thinking were invaluable. Laura is not only a highly skilled professional but also a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again on future projects. Her commitment to excellence and her ability to deliver results are truly commendable. If you're looking for someone who can turn your vision into reality and drive success, Laura is the person to partner with."

    Karen Tait, Founder & CEO at The Residence Coworking

  • “Working with Laura helped me take a business idea and make it a reality. I knew my sector and niche well and knew I had the connections I needed to make it a success, but I didn’t have the knowledge and understanding of how to brand and market my new business. Laura talked me through the key go-to-market areas, listened to my vision, and helped me bring my brand to life. Her simple approach to marketing a small business cut through the jargon and gave me clear and simple steps to start marketing my business to my target audience. I always feel well supported and know I can come to her with any business and marketing problems I have.”

    Jeff Hack-Davies, Founder, APE Engineering

  • “As I reached a significant stage in my life and business journey, my mentoring session with Laura was exactly what I needed. We discussed my future vision and Laura provided expert insights, offered valuable suggestions, and practical steps that helped me focus and visualise a clear path forward. I left her feeling energised, inspired, and excited about the work ahead. Thank you, Laura!”

    Jane McCluskey, Founder at Burrow & Fern

  • “Laura has been a key support in the recent transformation of my digital marketing agency. By confidently taking the reins on my recruitment drive, she went above and beyond to understand and then fully deliver upon the brief. Freeing me up to focus on the day-to-day running of the business, she instantly took the pain out of recruitment by identifying a number of brilliant candidates and providing a fantastic strategic sounding board throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her support again next time the Spybey Digital team needs to grow!”

    Kat Spybey, Founder at Spybey Digital_

  • “I had a one-to-one mentoring session with Laura, and taking time away from my to-do list to focus on the areas of my business that need attention was so refreshing. Laura is supportive, experienced, and has fantastic knowledge and ideas to share. She has helped me find the clarity and focus I need to grow and market my business.”

    Hayley Smith, Virtual Personal Assistant

  • “At Maggie’s, we have a small team working together on the official openings of each Centre, and Laura is commissioned as part of our team to project manage the creation of each Centre’s opening architectural booklet. Laura liaises with the architects' and landscapers’ teams to get their copy and images for the booklet and descriptions for all the artwork and furniture, she then copy edits and writes any missing copy. She then works with the graphic designer to lay out the pages and send them to print. Laura is an integral part of the official opening team, and I can rest easy knowing that the project management of the booklet will be created to the highest level. She is meticulous in ensuring the information is accurate and always ensures we achieve the deadlines set”.

    Georgina, Maggie’s Head of Special Projects

  • “I had a fantastic face-to-face creativity meeting with Laura. I was so impressed with Laura’s ideas and input to help me get the best from my business. I have a to-do list, and I feel it’s given me a positive boost. As you can get stuck in the mud sometimes and having someone with a fresh set of ideas is so beneficial, I’m looking forward to the future, we have agreed to have quarterly meetings, so I can check in with her, and discuss my progress. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to the next one.”

    Victoria Careless, Director, Friends Dress Agency

  • "Working with Laura was invaluable for me as a freelancer. She helped me pause, take stock of where my business was, and get clear on where I want to be in the years ahead. With her guidance, I was able to break things down into simple, actionable steps that made real progress feel achievable. I felt at ease with Laura within minutes, and we were able to dive straight in. What stood out most was that she didn’t try to give me all the answers– instead, she listened and helped me uncover them for myself. I’d recommend Laura without hesitation".
