Bio
Alex Lancashire
I worked with Alex for 4 years and I can happily recommend her work. She’s thorough and a great team player. We wish her well in her new ventures, she will bloom 😎

Alex has been working with us pretty much from the start, just over 6 months now. Not just with all things marketing, but she's been a great sounding board for business discussions as well (being a business owner herself). We often see her as an extension of our team as she knows us and our brand so well. We have used Alex's services for a Strategy planning session near the start, our brand values, identity etc, then our Social Media, website, collateral and emails etc. We are planning to also extend that to blogs and newsletters. Every time she produces some work, it goes above and beyond my expectations, every single time. It must come from the fact she knows how to take an excellent brief, even from someone that doesn't know how to give one! Or knows exactly what they want. We can trust her to take over our Social Media without having to sign everything off, which saves us so much time which is one of the major reasons for outsourcing. What really impressed me was how hard she works, and how she's always there for us literally whenever we need her. She even replied to our emails when she was on holiday! Now that's commitment! She's always there for us in the evenings too. Her knowledge of marketing is current, it's clear she is passionate about what she does, staying up-to-date with new trends and marketing techniques. Alex builds very strong relationships, and really gets to know the businesses and people she is working with. Also she didn't get cross when we had to rearrange because we were too busy (a few times!) We really really appreciate all the hard work you've put in and how much you've helped us. Thank YOU!
