Sceptical about marketing?
Maybe you've been burned by agencies or marketing feels like a bottomless pit.
Doing more doesn't make sense?
More marketing across more channels doesn't feel like the right answer.
Lacking direction?
Your team works hard but you don't know how to guide them to make the difference.
Too deep in the day-to-day?
You need to step back to work out what to change or stop and where to focus next.
A proper deep dive into the business
We look at what'sholding things back, what's working well, and where you have real opportunities for sustainable growth.
Sharpening what already works
It’s not about ripping things up. It’s about strengthening what works and exploring where manageable changes would make a real difference.
Clear priorities, NOT a long to-do list
I give you clarity on what to focus on next, what to stop doing, and where effort and budget will actually make a difference.
Support to make it happen
I help you follow plans through. Either by working with your team or bringing in experienced associates, so you don't have to manage change alone.
Growth doesn't always come from
doing more marketing
There’s a temptation to run more marketing tactics and hope some of it works. But that’s often not just unnecessary but inadvisable.
Here’s how I help you grow your business in the right way for you, your family and your team.
What you get with me

25+ years’ commercial, sales and marketing experience
Clear planning focused on return, not just doing more
Strong direction to get things done
Flexible involvement, to suit you
Senior-level input without full-time committment or cost.
"Sarah's under the hood of the business, asking all the challenging questions and helping us find answers that drive growth. She's already brought clarity, structure and focus."
What you get when we work together
Experience that counts
27+ years’ working with established and family-run businesses to ensure change is approached carefully and decisions make sense to everyone.
Senior-level input, only when you need it
No long-term retainer, inflated consultancy fee or executive salary. Just senior-level thinking and experience when you need it.
Practical direction you can apply
Strategy aimed at generating a return through ideas you can easily implement. And my support putting it into practice.
A bit about you
I work with ambitious, founder-led B2C brands — often in skincare, wellness, food & drink, gifting or lifestyle — where there’s a strong product, a loyal customer base, and real potential to grow.
These are businesses doing well, and with huge potential— but without senior marketing leadership, things don’t necessarily move as quickly as they could.
That’s where I come in.
I help steer in-house marketing teams, bring clarity to decision-making, and make sure the day to day marketing actually supports the bigger picture.
Why 'Left + Right'?
Left-brain strategy.
Right-brain creativity.
…so your marketing is commercially sound and creatively strong.
You get trusted, senior-level marketing expertise without the cost or commitment of hiring in-house.
I’m qualified in strategy, experienced in sales and marketing, and focused on what works — not what looks good on a mood board!
This is grown-up marketing for businesses ready to invest in the right places, in order to grow.
And clients stay with me because they see it working.
Flexible support. As and how and when you need it.

Spot the hidden growth opportunities
Whether it’s a better route to market, refining your brand message, or finding new customer segments, I’ll identify the ideas with real commercial potential.
3
I’ll put together a plan that makes sense
You won’t be left with a vague strategy or a 42-point checklist you’ll never get round to.You’ll get a clear, tailored marketing plan with defined projects and next steps, so you and your team can focus on the right things, in the right order.

You can track ROI

“Marketing and sales have always gone hand in hand for me. I love the numbers – tracking performance, analysing results and seeing the story in the data. But I’m a salesperson at heart. I love helping clients grow revenue, not just engagement.”
I’ve spent over 25 years working across sales and marketing, with the last decade focused on supporting established and family-run businesses at points where growth needs careful thought.
I genuinely enjoy this stage of business.
Where there’s history, pride in what’s been built, and a real desire to do things properly - not just quickly.
I know how frustrating it feels when marketing starts to feel like a cost rather than an investment. And I’ve seen, time and again, that clarity and good judgement make far more difference than simply doing more.
I work alongside you and your team, not on the sidelines.
My role is to help you step back, focus on what really matters, and move the business forward in a way that feels right.
You get experienced, senior-level input - without the cost, risk or disruption of a full-time hire.
