I like to do business differently!
You’ll want to get in touch with me if you’re looking for someone to help you plan out a marketing strategy, support you with research & white papers, measure and write impact reports, speak at conferences or host your event and make people laugh.
I do all of this for private companies, social enterprises, charities, community groups and arts projects.
Who am I?
I’m debbiedooodah!
I’m a Senior Lecturer in Marketing Practice and Researcher at one of the top 1% of Business Schools in the World! I’ve worked in marketing since 2002, and have been launching and building businesses since 2011.
I won a few awards and done lots of exciting things in my career, like launching ‘Stomach This’ at the House of Lords, a campaign to stop food poverty in 2013, challenging the fact that only 5% of statues in the UK are of women (if you discount Queen Victoria) and bringing not one, but two statues of women to my home town of Nottingham in 2025 and launching the biggest ever survey of female founders in the UK (currently happening - we’ll release the findings later on this year!).
I launched my first business with £750k investment and have spent my intervening years trying to make the world a better place for female entrepreneurs and small business owners, through delivering training, running business networks and offering 121 business coaching.
I’ve won 11 awards, including the UK’s Digital Woman of the Year, Top 100 F:Entrepreneur and Top 100 Influencer for Gender, Equality & Diversity, been featured on BBC News, Forbes, The Guardian and the New York Times and spoke at conferences including Female Founders Rise at Google HQ and Atomicon.
