Hello, I’m Karen

Your Project Management Consultant

Get in touch

I’ve been helping eCommerce sellers and Creative Agency Owners since 2004

Are you seeking support to grow or manage your 6 or 7 figure eCommerce business or creative agency?

Could the experience and insights of someone who has grown their own businesses in these sectors be the key to your own business growth?

I’ve spent most of my corporate life managing large-scale projects for some of the world’s biggest brands (Coke, Nike and BMW to name a few), and I set up my first business in 2011 to bring my big brand knowledge to smaller businesses.

Today I own my own eCommerce business and creative agency, and I act as a Project Management Consultant for others. I love nothing more than getting under the skin of exciting online brands and growing agencies and helping them thrive against their competitors – no matter how crowded their marketplace.

I’m a rare mix of big picture thinking and hands on implementation

…of strategy and tactics.

…of marketing and operations.

…a CMO and a COO.

Through my own businesses I learned how to adapt fast, be resourceful and efficient and I love all the operational details that most business owners hate. I appreciate that this is not the norm – but then, nor am I.

I’m a Project Management Consultant for 6 and 7 figure ecommerce businesses and creative agency owners

I have worked with many different industry sectors down the years and continue to consult with a number of these.

I have an extensive understanding of the particular challenges of two key sectors: online entrepreneurship – having run my own successful e-commerce store – and creative and digital agencies – having worked with and established numerous businesses in this field. I work primarily (but not exclusively!) around the Brighton, Guildford, West Sussex & Surrey areas, although – as my approach allows me to work remotely – some of my clients are based much further afield in the USA and Australia, for example.

My account management support includes everything from conceptualising and overseeing product launches from initial idea to completion, to managing suppliers and a multitude of projects at any one time, to mapping out new revenue streams and marketing strategies.

The difference between a Project Management Consultant and a Project Manager, and how I can help

As your Project Management Consultant, I help you to get a grip on the running of your business, so that you can focus on what you do best. This includes a range of services such as reviewing your existing project management processes, advise on weaknesses in your current systems, recommend better processes and procedures and support the set up and initial implementation of these.

In addition to offering Project Management Consultancy services, I provide a ‘done-for-you’ project management package to a select few of my clients. This includes everything from conceptualising and overseeing product launches from initial idea to completion, to managing suppliers and a multitude of projects at any one time, to mapping out new revenue streams and marketing strategies. 

I also have a team of professional partners that I call upon, when required, to implement all aspects of:

  • Marketing (from writing copy and designing websites to creating and optimising digital strategies)
  • Sales (from market research to telesales campaigns)
  • HR
  • Finance

This ensures that my clients are receiving a 360 degree approach to their operations and business growth.
