All marketing departments experience periods of frenetic busyness! But scaling your team can be challenging based on an unpredictable workload. Some of our clients at Choose Consulting need temporary support with a critical marketing or training programme, or the development of a marketing plan. Does your website copy need re-writing? Or perhaps you need more sustained support to improve employee engagement or communication activities? Let me know how I can help, with one-off freelance work or fractional marketing support for a specific time period.


Need a hand with content creation - writing case studies, blogs or website copy? We provide ad-hoc support to several clients in this area. Of course A.I. can help, but many clients don't want to farm out their unique tone of voice to ChatGPT. In a sea of 'AI slop', if you're looking for something more human sounding, or you need support interviewing internal or external stakeholders to create compelling copy, let's chat.
Catherine has worked in most functions of marketing (Brand, Comms, Insights, Product Management, Strategic Marketing) over her 25+ years in marketing. This, plus her expertise in marketing soft skills, makes her the ideal 'sparring partner' for marketers who need coaching support. If one of your marketers is contemplating a career change, struggling with presentation skills, or needs a boost to their marketing gravitas, Catherine can provide tailored 1-2-1 coaching via Microsoft Teams.


Francoise Derksen
Managing Director at Midland Lead
"Catherine has helped us with freelance marketing - creating new case studies and articles and re-writing all of our website content. Aside from writing great content, Catherine sets clear expectations and is quick and efficient to both respond and deliver. It's a pleasure to work with her!"

Andy Stonehouse
CEO at Rocialle Healthcare
"I engaged Catherine to design and deliver a 2 day Marketing Excellence workshop for the marketing team at Rocialle. The objective was to refresh them on marketing fundamentals like market understanding, segmentation, customer journey mapping and ROI/ROO, and coach them to move from activity to impact, with a greater focus on strategic, upstream marketing. She delivered brilliant facilitation and workshop organisation. The content was spot on for what the team needed - very timely for us as a group with lots of interaction and next steps. I also really liked the pre-work, the 'wall of appreciation' and ice breakers throughout the session. A truly excellent job, thanks Cat!"

Nav Kumar
Managing Director, DMG Dental UK & Ireland
"I'd worked with Catherine years ago at 3M and had every confidence in her ability as a strategic marketer. It's been great to enlist her help on such a flexible basis, helping us to develop a much more strategic and impactful approach to our marketing"
