What is Walk & Talk Business Coaching?
Walk and talk business coaching is a relaxed, 90-minute outdoor coaching session generally held on the beach in Dorset, Devon or Cornwall. During this walk I provide guidance and support, a place to bounce ideas or eliminate personal beliefs and boundaries that might be holding you, and your business back. It’s ideal if you think better outdoors and want a more natural, grounded approach to business coaching. Read more about this service.
Can you manage Pinterest for my business?
Absolutely. Pinterest is a powerful tool for driving website traffic, especially for food and hospitality businesses. I can create pins, optimise boards, and implement Pinterest marketing strategies to help your brand get noticed on the platform, directing traffic to website blogs and social media content.
How is Thrive & Seek Co different from a typical marketing 'agency'?
Thrive & Seek Co is personal, experienced and hands-on. I bring over 30 years of real-world business and marketing experience, particularly in hospitality. I don’t outsource, overcomplicate or push unnecessary tactics, or rely on purely numbers & trends - everything is tailored, thoughtful and practical whilst focusing on organic engagement and authentic content. I work with a trusted PR partner as needed.
