About me
I have been in Retail Marketing and PR for 22 years. I am now a Product Stylist, Web Photographer and Retail Consultant, specialising mainly in producing impactful social media and web shots, plus videos that your customers will love!
I have an extensive background in Retail Marketing. I have a BA (Hons) in Retail, I was Marketing Co-ordinator for Richard Branson's Virgin Bride (where I appeared on TV on several occasions representing the company). I handled all press enquiries and organised their catwalk and trunk shows. I was then Marketing/PR Manager for ASOS.com, devising Marketing Strategy and gaining a huge amount of press coverage for the brand. I was then promoted to Head of Creative for ASOS.com, leading a team where I was really able to use my flair for product styling, by directing, co-ordinating and styling all of their ad campaigns, photoshoots, homepages and newsletters at the time.
I then went on to co-launch my own PR Agency, Pink Mango PR based in London, where I worked with both small and international blue-chip retailers for over 10 years. My company was shortlisted in Draper's Record as one of the top most influential people in the online fashion industry.
After having children and relocating, I have moved back to my love of product styling and I now work freelance from home. My recent work includes producing rotating homepage images for one of the UK's top gift wholesalers.
Because I have no overheads, I can offer all of my expertise at an affordable fee. I am passionate about making products look enticing for their target audience. I have a large prop stock and a huge range of backgrounds, or I can source on behalf of the client.
With my vast experience in retail and dealing directly with all head office functions, I can turn my hand to any task required. I have experience in research, visual merchandising, sourcing, product copywriting and branding, right through to personal image consultation, sales and customer service. As a photographer, I offer the added benefit of having worked in a Retail Head office and in Marketing for many years. I understand how to make your products look enticing and how to show the benefits and scale. You need not pay for an extra stylist to work on my shoots, as I am a stylist myself.
So anything online retail, or styling related, please feel free to ask me to have a look at your requirements...and I would love to let you know what I can do for you.
