What is my brand buddy?
After a long career working in brand marketing, I saw a common challenge facing many small and growing businesses: they know the importance of building a strong, consistent brand, but often don’t have the time, budget, or in-house expertise to make it happen. Too often, marketing tasks get pushed aside, campaigns lose momentum, or opportunities for growth are missed.
That’s why I created my brand buddy — to give businesses flexible access to experienced brand management without the overheads of hiring full-time staff. I wanted to create a service that’s practical, cost-effective, and tailored — stepping in as a virtual marketing manager to handle the day-to-day brand tasks, keep everything on track, and provide guidance when it’s needed most.
At its core, my brand buddy exists to make marketing easier for business owners — giving them peace of mind that their brand is being looked after, while they stay focused on running and growing their business.
