Tell us about yourself
After years of running multi-million-pound digital campaigns for the likes of Etsy, Future Publishing, and Trinity Mirror, I got fed up with the status quo and set out to create my own 'anti-agency': Webtopia. The $20 million I have spent on digital advertising in my career has helped me crack the code to creating profitable ads that convert. I love sharing my knowledge, actionable insights, and strategies with audiences via events and podcasts.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Making it to the top 2% of female-owned businesses that turnover $1M or more per year.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The fact that it is never a 9-5 job; it's on your mind all the time - whether you want it to be or not!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Know your customer really well. Understand their deep motivation to buy.
- Surround yourself with a community of other businesses going through the same thing.
- Set clear and realistic goals and relentlessly pursue them.
