Ok, now it’s really me…

Hey! I’m Katie, a community consultant with more than a decade of experience helping people create loyal, engaged and connected spaces online.I believe community should feel like home. A place where people feel safe, supported and encouraged to take action. A place where people want to stay and tell their friends about.

I love talking with people and bringing people together!

In 2014 I created an online community for pet business owners called #woofwoofwednesday. What started as a simple idea quickly grew into a space that reached 7 million timelines every week. Hundreds of brands and business owners joined in, including GoogleUK, MTV, Krispy Kreme, The Times and Channel 4.

From there I created luxury in-person events for dog mums in London and later ran women’s networking events in Bristol. Every one of these communities had one thing in common. People felt like they belonged.

That belonging is still at the centre of everything I do today.

Over the years I’ve supported business owners with content, messaging and strategy, but I always found myself coming back to helping and creating community. It’s where I thrive and where clients see the deepest transformation.

Today, I specialise in helping people with memberships, courses and programmes create a space where your clients feel like they belong, make progress and stay for the long run.

I care about your people as much as you do. I make sure no one gets lost, left behind or forgotten.

I’m a luxe-loving girl with hippy tendencies.

Give me Gucci, crystals and a full moon and I’m happy.

I believe in kindness, integrity, honesty and as a typical Leo I’m extremely loyal.

I’m neuro-sparkly, I have dyslexia and
self-diagnosed ADHD.
