Meet Emma Hodges,
marketing coach, strategist, & biscuit lover in Sussex

I help female founders and service businesses to make marketing manageable, so you can do the job you love.

Winging your marketing might work occasionally, but it won’t deliver the consistent results you deserve. That’s where I can help. With bite-sized, impactful marketing strategies designed for busy service providers, I’ll help you turn marketing from a source of stress into a system that consistently attracts your ideal clients.

Imagine confidently blocking out your calendar three months in advance because your marketing is flowing… as well as you being brilliant, obviously! But also, people are finding you, your messaging is connecting, and they can see exactly how you can help them. No more lying awake at 3 AM wondering if you should take that not-quite-right client “just in case.”

Let’s make marketing your business BFF

Grab a cuppa (and maybe a biscuit) while we chat about what’s possible…

You create amazing results for your clients and you’re awesome at what you do. But wouldn’t it be lovely to:

  • Put your phone down during family dinner without that nagging guilt
  • Have a waitlist of pre-qualified clients who respect your boundaries
  • Spend dedicated time on focused marketing (instead of hours crafting the “perfect” post)
  • Confidently say “here’s my investment level” and hear “when can we start?”
  • Close your laptop at 5PM knowing your marketing system works whether you’re at your desk or not.

No more trying to do #AllTheThings. It’s time for a marketing strategy that fits into your jam-packed life.

Hobnobbing with Emma 🍪

Biscuit lover, slow living enthusiast, and marketing expert who’s here to sprinkle some marketing magic into your business.

In 2015, I had two young kids at nursery and a busy role in marketing. When school came into the mix, between commuting, school holidays, work events and the inevitable sick days, it was a juggling act too far. Something had to give, and so I left my job with a vague idea of freelancing, not sure if I could make it work.

After 25 years in marketing (wow, that sounds old!) and 10 years of running my own business, I know what actually works. I’ve worked with global brands like the London 2012 Olympics to tiny start-ups who have just an idea and zero audience.

What makes my approach different? I’m all about bite-sized, consistent actions that create momentum without the overwhelm. I believe marketing should adapt to YOUR life and schedule. As a small business owner, you’re probably not going to be less busy 😉 So, it’s essential to create a strategy around the activity that you can and will stick to.
