ABOUT DEAR CHARLIE
I’ve been doing this for 14 years.
I’m proud that my CV is jam-packed with some of the world’s biggest brands (because I worked damn hard to get them on there). I’ve worked for the likes of ASOS, boohoo, British Home Stores (the UK’s version of Myer) and at Cancer Research UK, working on their Stand Up To Cancer campaign.
Dear Charlie will help your business succeed by accessing my expertise learnt over more than a decade working in the UK, the third-largest retail ecommerce industry in the world.
It’s so awesome that more and more of us are running small businesses and shaking-up the retail and ecommerce marketplace.
What’s not so awesome? Marketing agencies and gurus selling overnight marketing success and quick-fix packages to burnt-out business owners. That stuff doesn’t work. Marketing is a long game that needs strategy and some skill to win.
That’s where I hope that Dear Charlie can make a difference.
