Why Work With Me?

 

Understand your business better

“Sonja engaged brilliantly with stakeholders and clients to develop a deep understanding and powerful insights into the company. She helped us to understand ourselves better.”

— Giles Colborne, Founder, cxpartners

 

Redefine your business

“Sonja’s insight into content strategy is invaluable. What strikes me as her greatest strength is her keen sense of context. She truly understands what it means for an organisation to redefine itself.”

— Chris Butler, HOW Interactive Design, Chicago

Embrace content marketing

“Sonja is the person you want at the table, working at a strategic level to help a business understand and embrace content marketing. She can look an MD in eye and make strategic recommendations that will take that business forward. What’s more – she’s a pleasure to work with too.”

— Bryony Thomas, Founder, Watertight Marketing

 

Results from your website

“If you’re looking to finally get to grips with your digital strategy and start getting a return on your website, I’d thoroughly recommend you contact Sonja.”

— Chris Thurling, Chairman, Bristol Creative Industries

The confidence to make brave changes

“I carry out brand strategy for my clients but I just couldn’t be objective about my own positioning. I thought I just needed Sonja’s gentle coaching style to refine my thoughts, but she did much more than that, she supported me in making some brave changes. I couldn’t make those choices without the confidence that her customer interviews gave me. Having resolved to make some big decisions, Sonja helped me get my messaging, website and content marketing plan right. It has been a massive relief, something that was preoccupying me and taking up far too much headspace has been lifted off my shoulders. Sonja over delivered. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her."

A strong brand that resonates

“Sometimes you can be in something for so long that you lose the ability to communicate clearly about it. We wanted to rebrand and develop a new website, but what should we say? The listening work conducted by Sonja was invaluable. The 1:1s with individuals to understand the organisation from their perspective was so important – it allowed the brand, messaging and website to be built on the back of it. And to be honest, I am convinced that is why our brand is so strong in the eyes of our network – they can see themselves in it. It is their words, their images and their perceptions reflected back at them.”
