It’s Monday and I’m already losing the will with gov.uk websites.

If you’d like a website that is not designed to test your and your customers’ patience however - drop me a note 🫠

I’m Hayley and I run my marketing business from above the pub…

Yes there are perks!
This is a typical day for me this summer.

Nothing builds team morale like delivering enthusiasm twice because you were on mute 👀

Yes, I am available for motivational speeches and yes, my millennial is showing 🙃

Is it just marketing or sisters that gets this treatment or do other people experience their family not quite understanding their job?

It makes me laugh with my sister… she’s literally been there the whole time I did my degree, my CIM diploma, I won marketing awards, I got promoted to Global Head of Marketing, I set up my business and still can’t quite manage to describe my work as “marketing”🤦🏼‍♀️😆

If anyone needs any help with “tech stuff” aka website development, social media marketing, content, marketing strategy, SEO, apparently I’m your girl.

Things that give me the ick today… maybe every day.
1. AI generated artwork to promote businesses. I get that budgets can be tight for smaller businesses but honestly, finger painting would be better for your business reputation and positioning

2. People who bleed corporate. Everything is circling back, move the needle. Just talk like a normal human.

3. Messi.

Google has changed search again.

No, SEO isn’t dead.

But generic content is becoming easier to ignore.

The businesses that will stay visible are those demonstrating genuine expertise, answering real customer questions and building a recognisable brand.

If you’re not sure whether your website and content are helping or hurting your visibility, I offer straightforward marketing and website audits covering:

✔️SEO & AI search
✔️Content performance
✔️User journeys & conversions
✔️Quick wins and priorities

Just practical recommendations you can act on.

Drop me a message if you’d like me to take a look.

Paid ads don’t fix broken marketing.

They just send more people into it and waste your marketing budget.

If nothing happens after the click, that’s not an ads issue.

PPC has its place for sure but it’s often used as a panic tactic to quickly get “some results” which is usually a short term fix if not done properly and as part of a wider marketing strategy.

On my way to see a client last week, I pulled up at a junction and a woman driving a white van let me out.

We locked eyes and honestly?
I loved it. 🫠
Not because I’m a raging homo (although maybe it helped 🌈).

I just love seeing women in spaces people still subconsciously associate with men. And no, women driving vans isn’t exactly groundbreaking in 2026.
But you still notice it, don’t you?

Probably because a lot of us know what it feels like to walk into rooms where:
- you’re the only woman
- your ideas get ignored until a man repeats them
- you’ve had to fight twice as hard just to be taken seriously.

I’ve worked in multiple environments where I was massively outnumbered and I’m not saying it was bad...but it was noticeable and I felt it.

So if you’re a woman leading a business, building something from scratch, dragging a company forward, or forcing your way to the front to actually be heard:

I see you 👋
I respect the hell out of you.
And frankly you’re probably exactly the type of person I like working with.

Most of my work now is helping businesses untangle messy marketing, fix disconnected strategies and stop wasting money on things that aren’t working.

Which, coincidentally, is something a lot of women in leadership are very good at spotting quickly.

Anyway.
Shout out to the white van woman.
Absolute queen.

This is absolutely wild / the funniest typo ever.

Don’t get me wrong I have lived in generalist marketing roles for a chunk of my career but the expectations are getting beyond ridiculous with some marketing jobs where the marketing manager’s remit it EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES 🤦🏼‍♀️
But maybe for £450k it’s fine 👀
