DIRECTOR Q&A
-
I supported myself through university as a mature student by assisting with wedding co-ordination, which I loved! Then a few years later I started my career in marketing as a copywriter, but I am also passionate about making great visual impressions - so I quickly moved into creative side of marketing and haven’t looked back since. I am thrilled to be able to combine both passions through Black Hare and support businesses with visual brand development and events - they often go hand in hand.
-
Authenticity - allow the personalities of your founder and your core values to shine through your business.
Creativity - you don’t have to be quirky or weird for the sake of it, but a creative approach to your brand’s image will ensure it’s memorable.
Consistency - sticking to brand guidelines helps to maintain a strong image that becomes recognisable and pleasing to the eye.
-
A killer eye for detail, a charming personality and a slightly obsessive nature helps. Being able to envisage how something will come together before it actually has, is not a skill everyone has!
-
I love reading, writing fiction, gardening and sun-worshipping. I spend most of my free time with my husband and two children and I confess when I’m not working hard, I am a bit of a couch potato - I love a TV binge or a good film, with copious snacks of course.
-
I’ve always loved hares - they’re so beautiful and intriguing to me. They also have qualities that represent the way I like to do business - they’re lean, flexible, accutely observant and they are pretty quick too! And black is simply my favourite colour.
