I didn’t actually leave fashion to start Ads Couture.
I left the corporate fashion industry like many other women do: because I wanted a better quality of life and more time with my children.
When Covid hit, I was already on maternity leave with my third baby, Eddie. And in many ways, that pause gave me the space I didn’t know I needed, the chance to step back and properly think about what I wanted next.
At the time, I had no real plan to go into marketing.
I stumbled into it by chance while trying to save a previous business, and ended up training with the incredible . What started as a “let’s just fix this” moment turned into something I genuinely fell in love with.
Marketing, especially paid ads, felt surprisingly familiar.
It had the same mix of data, structure, and commercial thinking that I had always enjoyed in the fashion world, just applied in a different way.
That’s when things clicked.
I went on to get officially certified with Meta, started with Meta Ads only, and eventually expanded into Google Ads as well.
And what I realised quite quickly is this:
My retail background isn’t something I left behind… it’s actually one of the biggest reasons my clients see results.
Because working in fashion teaches you things you can’t learn from ads alone:
How people actually buy, not just how they click
How seasonality and demand really behave
How to think commercially, not just technically
and how product, pricing and positioning directly impact performance
That perspective changes everything when it comes to scaling e-commerce brands.
Ads Couture wasn’t planned.
But it makes perfect sense now ⚡
