A digital native with a passion for small brands.

A bit about me

I'm April. I've been in marketing for 23 years. I've worked for start-ups to large FTSE 100 companies in tech, SaaS, product design and engineering. My roles have ranged from Head of Marketing, Marketing Manager, to Digital Marketing Manager.

I've written strategies, crafted digital content, developed SEO plans, built email campaigns, set up automation and workflows, and grown newsletter subscribers and leads. I'm a thinker as well as a doer - I can write a marketing strategy and implement it.

Why I went freelance

In 2018, I became a mum and felt my world shift slightly on its axis. I wanted to be around for my daughter while continuing to work, be creative, and not lose my passion for marketing. So in 2021, I went freelance.

Who I work with

I work with purpose-driven businesses who want to grow. Small businesses, B2B companies, charities - organisations with a great story to tell who just need the right person to help them tell it consistently.

  • April's knowledge of marketing and her action oriented approach to getting things done has been a game changer for sheepCRM. Our marketing was a weak point but with April's support we now have a significant online presence across the membership sector and are growing faster than ever.

  • April is great! She's a pleasure to work with, knows HubSpot inside-out and receives consistently positive feedback from clients. I'd work with April again in a flash.

  • April has been a good friend for many years, and more recently, she did a six-month marketing contract for me and Grassroot Communities. It can sometimes be an issue working with friends, but not in this case! April supported us in developing engaging documents and content, building a website, working smarter with social media posts and online lunch-and-learn sessions, and much more. If you need marketing support, get in touch, as she is great.

  • It was fantastic working with April. April is a knowledgeable and highly experienced marketing professional - who is exceptional when it comes to building and executing campaigns in HubSpot. I'd highly recommend April to anyone looking to develop their digital marketing capability, especially if they're looking to implement HubSpot for the first time or who are looking to optimise their existing marketing.

  • I had the pleasure of working with April on our company website. April not only designed and built a fantastic website for us, but she also patiently trained me on how to maintain and edit it myself, this was incredibly valuable! April's expertise in digital marketing, particularly her knowledge of HubSpot, was instrumental in creating a website that is not just visually appealing but also strategically designed to achieve our business goals. She is a highly skilled freelancer who is not only knowledgeable but also a pleasure and easy to work with. I would highly recommend April to anyone looking to develop their digital marketing capabilities, especially those considering implementing HubSpot for the first time or looking to optimise their existing content.

  • April joined us for a year on a freelance basis to establish and align our marketing function. She’s been an absolute pleasure to work with. April helped us define our brand proposition and USPs, and then aligned a rage of campaigns across multiple channels. She also took control of our largest event driven campaign, with our main sector partner, producing very impressive ROI from the relationship. April is an excellent all round marketer and was particularly helpful to us from a content production perspective, the lifeblood of our campaigns, and was able to extract high-value case studies from our clients. I’d have absolutely no hesitation recommending April!

April is hardworking and quickly picked up on the retrofit subject and aspirations of the business and outlined ideas for marketing campaigns including the delivery of the retrofit surgeries. April is great to work with and I hope to work with her again in the future.

    Kelly Brown, Project Manager, Value Optimised Retrofit

  • Having worked with April at VOR Group, I would happily recommend her as an excellent marketing support and content producer resource. She is super committed and acted as an extensive to our in-house team perfectly. She was great to work with, and always brought great ideas to the table. I would not hesitate in working with her again in the future.
