Carolyn Page

Carolyn has more than fifteen years experience working in marketing, mainly with SMEs, covering consumer and business-to-business markets; in fact everything from beds to books and occupational psychology to childcare services. She researches and writes on consumer markets for leading market intelligence publishers, which brings her into contact with the marketing giants like Heinz and Procter and Gamble, but is equally at home working with smaller companies where she believes real grass roots marketing thinking has to be done and proved without access to focus groups, slick advertising agencies, big brand names and massive budgets. 

Carolyn is an honours graduate in European Business Studies and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).

What she’s good at:

·         Planning - this is a natural gift. She even plans to be spontaneous!!

·         Project management - keeping projects and people on track

·         Creativity -  very visual and always looking for something innovative whether in design or new ways of working

·         Marketing training and coaching - great at getting the message across and inspiring people with her enthusiasm

·         Marketing intelligence - what she doesn't know about the UK market isn't worth knowing quite frankly

·         Insight - tell her a problem and she quickly cuts through to the nub of an issue so that energy is focused on creating the solutions that matter not the side issues
