Hi, I'm
Hannah
I’m a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) accredited marketing consultant based in Penrith, Cumbria with nearly a decade of experience across freelance and in-house roles, spanning multiple industries.
When I'm not working, I'm usually juggling life with two little ones, my partner Jamie and our very energetic labrador, Cooper. Our house is never quiet!
THE SHORT VERSION
Type A organisation with a creative edge
I'm happiest somewhere between figuring out the strategy and making it happen.
My experience spans the full marketing mix, from strategy and campaigns to web, content, email, digital, PR, partnerships and events. I've never believed in limiting a strategy to a single channel.
Let's start at the beginning
As early as primary school age, when asked to write what I’d like to be in the future, I couldn’t settle on one thing. Consider me multi passionate from birth.
I remember on my piece of paper I wrote
actress, journalist + photographer
As I’ve later discovered, marketing involves all of these roles. I've built myself a career that somehow brought together the parts of all of them that appealed to me: ideas, storytelling, creativity, people and understanding what makes them tick.
My marketing journey
Not wanting to narrow my choices of future roles, I studied Management & Organisational Behaviour at Lancaster University. I specialised in marketing and graduated proudly with a First Class degree.
Since then, I've built nearly a decade of experience across both in-house and freelance marketing. I've enjoyed working across everything from strategy and campaigns to content, digital, partnerships and events, most recently as a Digital Marketing & Strategy Lead.
In 2024, I also completed a Level 6 qualification in Professional Marketing with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). I love to learn something new every day.
And that brings us to now...
After a brief hiatus (or two) for maternity leave with my two littles, I'm now back freelancing and building Hannah Julia Marketing.
I work with independent businesses across strategy, content, websites and wider marketing projects, helping bring ideas to life.
I have a particular love for leisure, hospitality, wellness, tourism, attractions and creative businesses. If you think we'd work well together, I'd love to hear from you.
