Meet Our Founder

Catherine Grainger

After years of driving marketing excellence and upskilling marketing teams, I’ve come to realise that soft skills are anything but ‘soft’! Improving the productivity, energy and attitude of your marketers has the biggest impact on both your culture and performance. Plus your ability to attract, retain and develop marketing talent. I’m sure you, like me, will have seen significant shifts in marketing over our careers. With the rise of A.I., it’s marketing soft skills that will really differentiate and protect marketing talent.

And I can help you to elevate those skills, engaging and inspiring your marketers along the way!
