Ruth Grace Creative Consulting

Hey there, I’m Ruth, a freelance Creative Consultant. I like to work in a strategic, collaborative and authentic way and I'm keen to work with brands who share the same values. Passionate about the great outdoors and sports (particularly surfing and climbing), I left London and the corporate world of Management Consulting for the small coastal community of Newquay. I consulted for some of the UK's best known business like Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and John Lewis on projects from business strategy and project management to creative communications. Following that, I spent 3 years working in Marketing for small, fast paced companies leading brand, marketing and business development initiatives. As a one wo-man band, I can offer a competitive rate, with no big- agency overhead costs and is open to one-off or occasional projects and on-going part-time support.

People need to pick your product off the shelf. How your brand looks and tells it’s story is crucial to get customers to fall (and stay) in love with you. * Brand strategy * Brand guidelines * Creative direction * Creative management MARKETING DELIVERY With digital marketing constantly evolving, it can be hard to know what to prioritise and how to keep up to speed. * Website support * Social media * Blogs & Copy-writing * Events & awards SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY People care more about where their food comes from, how sustainable the packaging is and the ways in which they can give back a little. * Partnership opportunities * Charitable projects * Sustainability approach
