It’s rare that you come across passion that’s matched with talent like Carly has. I had the pleasure of working with Carly for the last year. Her out of the box thinking and boundary pushing take on marketing is like nothing I have ever witnessed in my 10+ years in the fashion industry. In this last year Carly has taught and inspired us to be brave with our messaging. Her take on marketing is so refreshing. She knows how to build the right team to bring her ideas to life, and is a networking wizard who is always showing up with excitement to push boundaries. Carly is without a doubt, my favourite person to bounce ideas off, her enthusiasm and passion for what she does is unmatched. I hope to work with Carly again very soon as she is absolutely one of a kind!

Carly "unstuck" me. I don't know how better to describe it. I felt frozen, confused and overwhelmed with working out the direction of my company, and Carly, remarkably quickly, managed to free up my mental space and have me bouncing around ideas in no time. We now have a clear idea of next steps, and what position Auxo will take from here on. I understand so much more about my brand now. It has a shape. That's all down to Carly. She has a certain magic to her, that I haven't seen in many others. I couldn't recommend working with Carly more - it certainly won't be the last time for us!
