"Sarah worked on our marketing plan and provided bespoke online training for our Social Enterprise team. At the time we were starting the scaling process across the UK and needed advice from a specialist, who understood the third sector and national marketing. Sarah was amazing; providing us with so many ideas in a concrete plan, which helped us to market our organisation more effectively, but more than that it changed the way we think about marketing. Sarah's training was really high quality and pitched at exactly the right level. I would highly recommend her service to anyone."
