    Testimonials

    Charlie spoke at not one, but three of my Salesforce Women in Tech events because she is such a brilliant, effortlessly engaging public speaker with tons of personality and helpful learnings to share. I learned a lot from her marketing talks – advice I still use in my career to this day. Couldn’t recommend her enough, she really gets you thinking out of the box.
    Emily Malone, Salesforce Women in Tech Event Coordinator

    I saw Charlie speak at a Business Marketing Club event pre-pandemic and invited her to speak at our Medilink Midlands Life Sciences Marketing Special Interest Group as I knew she’d offer loads to our group. Charlie is not your average speaker, her webinar presentations included elements that the group could interact with as well as lots of actionable takeaways they can implement straight away. Marketing in the life sciences industry is not easy so it was great to see participants rate the webinar so highly in the feedback.
    Jo Rudzki, Events and Marketing at Medilink East Midlands

    Charlie has spoken on our weekly webinar a number of times now, she provides so much value, we just keep inviting her back! Our weekly webinars are attended by many hundreds of accountants and their feedback is always really positive.
    Shane Lucas, Technical Director, Added Value Solutions Ltd

    Charlie is an accomplished and personable speaker who has the ability to facilitate sessions that show us what we are all capable of.
    Malcolm Budd, Expert Control Consultant

    Superb speaker with great content, charisma in spades, and a very professional delivery style. She hooked you and reeled you in with humour, social proof, and a caring ‘slap’ or two.
    David Hyner, Professional Speaker

    After hearing Charlie speak at a Business Marketing Club event for B2B marketers, and seeing how proactive she is in sharing her expertise in marketing, I knew she’d make the perfect speaker for our expert webinar for Digital Marketer apprentices. She spoke on leveraging LinkedIn and struck the perfect balance of sharing the right approach to take and practical tips.
    Clare Yau, Marketing Consultant

    I’ve experienced a number of LinkedIn masterclasses over the years and wondered if I would learn anything new when Charlie recently delivered an online masterclass to a group of speakers. Wow. What an excellent presentation. Not only is she a lively, really engaging speaker, her content was thought provoking, relevant, practical, and above all presented in a way that made me realise there are more, simple things I can do to improve my reach on LinkedIn.
    Susan Heaton-Wright, Owner, Academy of High Achievers

    Charlie is ‘the BOMB’ of LinkedIn training. During her talk she broke down the most important components of LinkedIn in a practical and simple way. I cannot recommend her enough.
    Simone Vincenzi, Speaker and MC

    I have recently listened to a talk from Charlie on her marketing process OTTER. Charlie has the ability to turn what can often be the confusing arena of marketing, into an easy to follow and more importantly, easy to use system that will help a business of any size or shape.
