In 2014 I made a leap of faith, by leaving a fantastic marketing leadership role at a company that I loved, to embark on something that I’ve always aspired to do. I wanted to create a business which allowed me to work hand in hand with management teams to develop and deliver marketing strategies that I believe will make a positive and long-lasting impact. However, this wasn’t my main driver, for me the way I work is most important, centred on strong values, hard work and deep care for clients and their businesses – my ethos became Mythos.
Over the years, the consultancy has gone from strength to strength, growing in clients, exciting projects and long-term retainers. I only accept projects that I know I can deliver to my high standards and I have a range of flexible pricing models to suit clients’ needs. I have established a network of amazing freelancers, consultants and agencies with preferential rates which allow me to offer and deliver a huge range of technical services from PPC to SEO through to design and PR. If you would like to know more, I’d love to hear from you.
Jen has played a key role in transforming our business. She supported us on the journey of a full rebrand that really got to the heart of who we are and why we do what we do. Jen’s collaborative, engaging delivery has seen both our clients and people input on a journey that has really set us up for success! We have a clear plan forwards, with Jens continued support and insight keeping this fresh and alive in our business.
Outstanding marketing support with content generation, marketing campaigns, brand awareness and PR. We can outsource to Jen knowing that she’ll bring fresh ideas and creativity, and the quality and content will always be of the highest standard.
