Brand Strategist & Communications Expert

Helping meaningful work find its voice, identity, and place in the world.

Hi there, I'm Charlotte. I help you uncover the essence of your work, clarify what makes it distinctive, and bring it to life through thoughtful brand strategy and creative expression.

I help arts organizations and health and wellness businesses get clear on who they are, what makes them different, and how to communicate it with confidence.

Through brand strategy, thoughtful storytelling, and creative direction, I help you turn the heart of your work into a distinctive, cohesive brand that connects with the people it is meant to serve.

My approach blends human-centred strategy, compelling storytelling, streamlined systems, and data-informed decision-making to make your work easier to share with the people who need it most.

The field of marketing is in constant flux, especially with the evolution of AI. A strong brand can act as the strategic backbone of your marketing plan. Trends come and go but with my guidance you'll be able to find a bold position in the marketplace that aligns with your brand vision and goals.

Two Ways I Can Help

Brand Strategy & Support

Brand clarity & positioning

Understand who you serve, what makes your work distinctive, and where you belong in the wider landscape. Build a clear foundation for the decisions that follow.

Messaging & storytelling

Find the words for what you do, why it matters, and why people should care. Develop a compelling brand story and consistent messaging that sounds like you.

Brand identity & creative direction

Translate your strategy into a cohesive expression of your brand, from visual direction and design to the way your business communicates across different touchpoints.

Strategic brand support

Bring your brand into the world with thoughtful, aligned communication. From website copy and content strategy to launches and campaigns, I help you turn your brand foundations into meaningful connections.

Two Ways I Can Help

Leadership Coaching

The work we do, the lives we lead, and the people we're becoming are deeply connected. Sometimes, moving forward means stepping back to ask bigger questions: What matters now? What am I ready to create? And what would it look like to build a life that reflects who I really am?

Through transformational coaching, I support founders and leaders of all types who are ready to reconnect with themselves, navigate change, and bring greater intention to the way they live, lead, and work.

In their words

"Charlotte was absolutely instrumental in launching my brand into the world. She brought so much care and respect to the process, and could see both my potential and the scale that would become available to me before I could. I was brand new to Instagram and her support was essential in taking those first steps towards sharing my work and mission with the world."

She's also warm and fun to work with whilst keeping track of my desire/vision. I highly recommend working with Charlotte - your work will be uniquely seen and supported in its positioning."

Charlotte is professional, reliable, efficient, and an excellent communicator. She is highly responsible to feedback and thoughtful in adapting her work to the evolving needs of our organization. I especially appreciate the way she approaches marketing as an act of service and way to meaningfully share our message and work with our community."

"I hired Charlotte to be the lead for a fundraiser at ArtSpring that raises approximately $55,000 yearly. As part of this project Charlotte led a large team of volunteers, communicated with donors, and worked directly with ArtSpring staff to promote, communicate, and organize this event. The project was very successful under Charlotte's leadership, at the same time she created a positive and collaborative atmosphere for volunteers and staff."

"In the short time since I started working with Charlotte, many things about communication and creative business practices have finally clicked. She's brought my attention to foundational concepts and strategies that were previously completely unknown to me, and framed them with a truly kind and benevolent big-picture attitude that I had not yet found in a business coach. As an artist, a parent and entrepreneur, I have felt uniquely seen and guided by her experience."
