About Louise Cruttenden

Ive got 3 big buckets of experience which I'm told is quite unique:1. Early stage start ups - I have worked with several early stage food, drink and tech start ups, helping founders and their teams build brilliant brands and accelerate growth. I am now full time CMO at fast-growing mental health tech business JAAQ, wearing the many hats required in a scaling business including brand, product, fundraising and growing an exciting business across B2B and B2C. JAAQ is a hugely exciting disruptive mental health community and platform with a mission to help the mental health of over 1 billion people but to do it our way www.jaaq.org2. Scaling high growth E-commerce companies: Huel, where I helped grow the brand from £45m to £100m revenue in over 100 markets D2C and had a blast working on one of the most successful UK start ups in recent years . Huel is now at £185m+ revenue. 3. FTSE 100 companies: Diageo: lucky enough to work on some of the most famous and established brands in the world such as Guinness and Smirnoff as well as leading innovation to launch entirely new brands from scratch such as Gordons Pink Gin (biggest UK spirits launch in the last decade) and Rockshore Lager (the biggest beer launch in Ireland in 15 years). Diageo is a brilliant place to be and learn to become a marketeer and a truly brand and consumer led company.In true squiggly career style, I’m also a qualified coach and Non Exec and currently am in my 3rd year on the board of Lakrids By Bulow, a luxury multi-channel confectionary brand as well as Impossibrew non-alcoholic beer and am a passionate Trustee of charity, Action 4 Youth. I can do B2B, D2C, SAAS, e-commerce, FMCG and start up to very big businesses and brands. Happiest when Im working with a brilliant bunch of people who want to make big stuff happen

  • Diageo
    Head Of Shopper Marketing, Diageo Gb
    Diageo Jun 2009 - Sep 2011
    London, Gb
    I was asked to move cross-functionally to define and set up our new shopper marketing function, the first time we had done this anywhere in Diageo. Over the course of 2.5 years we transformed out shopper insight capabilities, defined how Diageo still does shopper marketing today and delivered a series of compelling category and brand marketing programmes in collaboration with our customers to grow both businesses. Highlights included: the first of a kind strategic partnership between Diageo GB and Coca Cola Schweppes enterprises to deliver an award winning 3 year partnership of "spirits and mixer" to consumers, shoppers and customers. year 1 included a £4million joint investment and growth of +20% on key brands in-store (Smirnoff/Pimms/Gordons)partnered with Schweppes. In this time we step-changed our relationships with the top Grocers building powerful partnerships to create activities that delivered value for both us and them such as Baileys and Thorntons Chocolates partnerships, Pimms Summer events and seasonal category events such as Fathers Day, Big Night in and Easter. These activities defined by us for the first time are now major events for our brands and our customers each year.

I also led our 2007 Rugby World Cup campaign driving association with the tournament whilst not being a sponsor which saw us win the highest share of market for any beer over that time and delivered an award winning 360 marketing campaign.
