I offer a number of marketing support packages and projects. Amongst many other things, these range from:

- email campaigns
- social media management
- surveys
- SWOT analysis
- website management
- work flow and process mapping
- workshops and training
So if you find yourself needing another set of eyes to look over your website, someone to bounce a promotional idea off, an experienced ear to check you’re on the right track with social media, someone with wedding industry knowledge to help you plan an event, or you need some general marketing advice and guidance, then Hanami Dream can help focus your plans.
Everything is tailored to each client to improve the quality and consistency of their marketing whilst saving them time and utilising a marketing specialist.
Please contact Hanami Dream to arrange an initial free consultation (after this first meeting I charge per project or at an hourly rate, plus travel).
marketing background
I am a wedding marketing specialist, however with 19 years’ experience in a number of industries, I can (and do) turn my hand to the marketing of most sectors.
During my career I’ve obtained my CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing and worked in various marketing roles for 13 years before starting my own business. I’ve also obtained my Diploma in Wedding and Event Planning with the UK Academy of Wedding & Event Planners.
Hanami Dream was founded in 2014, which combines my marketing skills and photo shoot experience along with my passion and knowledge of the wedding industry and local market. My marketing background gives me the insight and experience to help local wedding businesses with their marketing strategy and promotional plans.
Whilst my expertise currently lies in the wedding industry, I have worked extensively in the corporate world, including marketing for publishers, motorcycle apparel and chartered accountants.
Along the way, I’ve also gained valuable experience in project management, website development, product development, planning and managing photo shoots, communications, operations, analysis and reporting, plus event planning and corporate hospitality.
