Graduate from The University of Edinburgh with a Master of Arts (2:1) in Spanish and Business Studies
Hannah has a Business degree from the University of Edinburgh, currently mentors marketing professionals within fast growing technology businesses and has experience across the board working in products, services and events, client and agency side and for multinational corporations and SMEs. She has held roles in London and Sydney and worked with many multidisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams.
Hannah started her career at a London based PR Consultancy focused on B2B technology firms before joining Informa PLC in London, working as a Marketing Manager in the Maritime and Energy team. Developing her acumen across all aspects of marketing within the conferencing and exhibition world Hannah then transferred to the Sydney office working for Informa Australia in their policy team.
Responsible for all pre, during and post event marketing activities, including creation of the overall strategy, close integration with other departments and 3rd parties, and ultimately carrying large responsibility for the events’ success, this was a fantastic foundation for the future.
On her return to the UK Hannah moved away from conferencing and entered the world of product marketing leading the marketing function for a security product manufacturer. Following this Hannah decided to gain invaluable experience agency side and began working for Conran Design Group, a prestigious design agency headquartered in London.
Working within an in-house studio for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer this was a pivotal role for Hannah as she gained priceless experience as an Account Manager sitting between client and agency and ensuring objectives were met on both sides. Bringing her years of client-side experience, she was a great asset to this high-status client.
Hannah returned client side, now armed with agency experience, and headed up the marketing function of a packaging start up competing in the sustainable sector serving luxury brands. The start-up was part of a bigger group, James Cropper PLC, allowing Hannah to really make her mark, creating and introducing the brand to the market and creating and developing the marketing strategy. Hannah was ultimately responsible for the creation and implementation of the marketing strategy and its alignment with and delivery of the business objectives. She handled the budget, worked closely with 3rd parties and worked alongside her senior peers.
It was this position that saw Hannah’s transition into a fully-fledged strategist flourish. She was asked to perform strategic reviews for the board and put forward business models and value propositions based on the findings and analysis. She co-authored business plans and attended Executive Committee and Group Board meetings.
Hannah took a decision to fulfil her ambitions of being a consultant following structural changes at James Cropper PLC during the pandemic and since then has grown her consultancy and her repertoire. Working with a high-performance materials manufacturer, a cleantech technology company and across tourism, publishing and electrical engineering, Hannah supports senior management to create and implement effective marketing strategies that support business objectives.
Hannah is also an Associate Operating Partner at Gunnercooke and a Professional Tutor at INPD delivering the strategic marketing days for the Mini-MBA and Directors Development Programme attended by delegates all over the world.
