If you’ve reached this page, it’s because either you attended my presentation at the Moray Business Women showcase, or you’ve been referred here through a link I’ve shared with members of the Moray Business Women group.
Lucky you! You are, as they say, in good company!
My ‘why’
In my presentation, I talked about three of my core beliefs:
You are fascinating!
You have a duty to tell everyone that!
You can do this!
I probably ran out of time, but I wanted to share this quote with you, by the activist Marianne Williamson;
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
Ladies, you are all brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous; and, most importantly, committed to your business, you wouldn’t be in the Moray Business Women if you weren’t! Now, we just need to make sure that all the right people know what you do, why you do it and how your products or services will improve their lives!
If you get what I’m saying and you’d like to know more, here’s a couple of ways that we can work together to sort out your digital marketing.
I can give you an overview of digital marketing strategy
On the 22nd March at the Eight Acres, I’ve teamed up with Stuart Mason of Action Coach, to co-present a workshop entitled Think and grow big. Stuart will be doing his business coaching planning and then I’ll cover social media and digital marketing strategy. Tickets cost £20, redeemable against future services.

I’m running social media training courses
Facebook for the Faint-hearted
If you know that for the sake of your business you should be on Facebook (and most people should), but to be honest you’re terrified, maybe you tried it once and didn’t like it, perhaps you suspect your questions are so basic you’d feel overwhelmed on a ‘normal’ course, or perhaps you just want to go back to basics, then this one’s for you.
It’ll be a small group, max of eight businesses (but if you want to bring a friend for company, there’s a discount for your plus one). Bring your laptop and smartphone, it’ll be proper hands-on, getting your hands dirty.
- You’ll learn how to get started with a business Facebook page.
- We’ll cover the ten most important things you need to know to hit the ground running.
- I’ll share some simple tips and tools to get the most out of Facebook wherever you are on your journey.
- We’ll also plan out a realistic month’s worth of content to get you going.
The first of these is at the Inkwell on Thursday 19th April.

Facebook for the Fearless
(Not happy with that title… Need to have a think about that! Suggestions, please!)
Do you have a Facebook page, you kind of know what you’re doing, but would like a bit more in-depth knowledge? Perhaps you’re not getting the engagement you’d like, or you have burning questions you need answered?
Then this session is for you.
Building on from Facebook for the Faint-hearted, this relaxed training session will go deeper into using Facebook to effectively promote your business, including best practice for posting, insights, an introduction to Facebook ads, etc.
Again, a small group workshop, hands-on and interactive, hopefully stimulating lots of discussions and questions. Very much tailored to the needs of the small business owner,
Again, if you want to bring a friend or colleague to work with you, there’s discount for your plus one.

Other courses
I’ve got a couple of other ideas for training courses.
Such as,
- More about Facebook – what do you want to know?
- Creating simple graphics for social media
- Email marketing
- SEO
- Creating compelling copy
- Using your phone to take better photos for social media
- Moving out of Auto on your DSLR
Would you be interested in any of those? Anything else? It’s something I’ve been toying with for a while now, so drop me a line if any of these tickle your fancy and maybe you’ll inspire me to get something sorted out.
I can tailor strategy, training and mentoring to your business
Facebook is just one part of your social media and social media is just one part of your digital marketing strategy.
What does your business need?
This year I’m introducing a number of more specific packages, such as a three month Facebook Quick Start mentoring program. This can be tailored to you; really, bespoke is simply me helping you, however I can. And if I can’t, then I almost certainly know someone who can.
So let’s start with a chat about you and your business and we’ll take it from there
Digital Marketing MOT
Do you know where you are now and where you want to be?
Do you know how to get there?
Last year I launched my Digital Marketing MOT, which is the first step to creating a strategy. It’s an audit to help you get clarity on your marketing and will be crammed with tips and tricks to point you in the right direction.
This service is valued at £150, however, I’m offering an exclusive discount to MBW members, making it just £95.
