I’m a classic over thinker, but in a good way. 😳

I’ve been in rooms where marketing conversations quickly move to funnels, sales, AI, and building empires because social media marketing is “not that deep”.

But what if it is? What if it should be?

After going along to Creator Day last week, the one thing that’s playing on repeat in my very busy brain is this...

How do we move from being spectators & consumers to community & citizenship.

Inspired by the incredible line up of speakers that Mark assembled to unpack the alchemy of community:

⚡️ asked how we could better serve communities, groups and networks we’re part of
⚡️ , powerfully shared that our role as humans has moved to being consumers instead of present, active citizens holding solutions
⚡️ has gone in search of third spaces with her podcast “Floating Spaces” to rediscover the spaces that bring people together
⚡️ brought the squeeze asserting that seeking connection over approval, works every time
⚡️ (and her adorable dog), opened up about what it takes to build a community and stay true to your values while facing off k**b heads
⚡️ Phill Agnew, through the magic of song (IYKYK), highlighted that familiarity brings togetherness in the most unexpected ways.

Thank you and for trusting me to lead an end of day “Working Together Section”, so many chats about exploring writing, researching, testing building communities and feeling the confidence to pivot and try something new.

When I started in marketing almost a decade ago, the rule was that audiences needed to see an ad 7 times before making a purchasing decision. Now consumers are exposed to between 4000 - 10 000 ads a day. A DAY!

This vying for attention is leading to more slop and less and less thinking.

Perhaps it’s time to try something else! My advice as an ethical social media marketer 👇🏾

🏖️ Build communities, create experiences, sing karaoke, swim in the ocean, drink in the sunset with business buddies, lean into the spaces that celebrates the impact you’re making in the world.

Sawubona. ✨

I see you. You matter. I value you.

I left with this word from home ringing in my chest after attending the (FFR) ‘Exit and Beyond’ panel discussion this week.

The conversations in the room, with more than 80 female founders, were heartwarmingly honest and raw ...

👉🏾 Rebekah Clarke led an excellent panel discussion with exited founders: Amber Vodegel, Dr. Viviene Heyhoe and Lesley Gregory on what business growth looks like when it’s layered with celebration, grief, guilt and transitioning to the next chapter as a female founder.

This is exactly what FFR’s ‘Rise report’ found👇🏾:

📊 1 in 7 female founders name loneliness and isolation as their biggest challenge, a figure that, extrapolated across the UK, could represent around 230,000 women building businesses in isolation.

📊 27% report mental health pressures including burnout and self-doubt, whether a founder starting out or at the exit stage.

What struck me most that evening, besides the incredible ambition, was the ethics.

Female founders so often build with a care for people and a mission to build a legacy that has real world impact.

The evening closed with a mindfulness meditation led by , guided by the words “I am”.

I can’t really describe accurately enough, the energy in the room as we all sat in silence.

🤔 As a woman building your own business, we’re asked about our business, our strategy, ambition, but we rarely pause to ask: who am I, beneath all of that?

Katie ended the session with that Zulu greeting “Sawubona” and I couldn’t have smiled more broadly.

✨ So to every female founder keep telling the whole story, with the messy middles that derailed you and the determined success and the guided focus that keeps you here.

“I see you.” 💖👋🏾

Two things I still hold onto after attending last year.

📖 Storytelling, not the performative kind, the emotive kind, that shares compelling stories about mission, values and brand purpose will always leave a lasting impact on audiences on a much much deeper level than bravado.

🫂 Generosity in business is a strength not a weakness. Every speaker in their own way last year shared their vulnerability, knowledge and time throughout the event. I don’t tend to fangirl, but speakers .j.raymond , and effortlessly demonstrated what makes them such powerhouses on LinkedIn.

UpLift Live is the only LinkedIn focussed conference in the UK, dedicated to mastering the platform beyond cheat sheets and formulas.

Even though I run LinkedIn strategy worshops & training sessions for clients, I’m bouncing off the walls with excitement to do it all again next week (26th March) in Birmingham.

There’s an insane lineup of specialists, who like me, enjoy nerding out on all things LinkedIn. 🤓

As organisers , and will tell you, the insights you get IN the room is the best way to truly understand, experiment and grow to the next level on the platform.

🔮 There’s still time to grab in-person and online tickets before they increase this Friday.

🔮 DM me for an exclusive discount code to get £30 off at checkout.

Will I see you there next week?🤞🏾🙌🏾

I wanted to time this post perfectly.

Because amid the spread of motivational quotes that will be circulating this International Women’s Day, are real-world examples of women breaking down doors, shattering glass ceilings and building their own tables.

This week I was honoured to spend time among the finest female founders as part of ’ IWD celebrations.

At the elegantly intimate , up to 80 women gathered to celebrate and elevate emerging and groundbreaking female founders solving problems with their products and services.

I’ve got to say a massive thank you to for bringing these transformational brands together.

Give these gorgeous brands a follow:

To be named one of the Nation’s Favourite Businesses deserves a celebration! 🥂

And the buzz of small businesses in the today was palpable 🙌.

It was our turn today to share our vision to help business owners turn their backs on traditional networking.

What started as a whisper of an idea three years ago, is now a community of more than 2100+ Antisocial Socialites.

We’ve been championing small biz owners from day one to network without the networking rule book, so they carve out the kind of networking that works for them. So they feel confident in themselves, and light up when they talk about their product and services.

We’re approaching 100 days celebrating 100 of the UK’s favourite businesses as part of .

On Saturday, 6th December is Small Business Saturday and this is definitely the season for many small and mighty businesses around the country.

So if you have a favourite small business you want to shout about, tell us in the comments 👇🏽

We want to shine the spotlight on them, so everyone can get behind them too:
✨ Shop with them
✨ Refer a friend
✨ Leave a review
✨ Share their post or story

To the amazing business owners we met today and to Michelle and the Small Business Saturday Team, thank you.

We’re so honoured to be a part of this celebration of inspiring businesses! 🫶🏾

I can’t do fake.

Never have and never will.

I’ve been curating my online space and in-person connections for years because I’d rather we just be human in our interactions than force an embrace or smile through gritted teeth.

Yesterday’s VIP invite to ‘s Winter Warmer is a prime example of why this approach works so well for other female founders too.

✔️ Animal print footwear
✔️ A shed load of pink
✔️ Honest conversations about our struggles and wins
✔️ A warm curiosity about business and the woman behind the business
✔️ Collaboration on big dream plans and inspiring adventures

Someone asked me last night what ethical marketing means?

It’s marketing your business in a way that is honest, transparent, inclusive and sustainable.

No fake it till you make it.

If you want to start attracting your people, then let’s leave the fake, gross marketing tactics in the bin ✌🏾.

~ You are enough!
~ Your business is exactly what is needed in the world right now!
~ You don’t need a different outfit, another course, to go viral or hundreds of thousands of followers!

Your impact in the world matters, keep going 💖

We’re still pinching ourselves!

has been named as one of the UK’s 100 most inspiring small businesses for 2025 by .

Three years ago, on the banks of the River Thames we, myself and , found ourselves disheartened by the endless stream of beige, boring, and transactional networking events that left us feeling unseen and uninspired. 🙄

As new business owners, we craved genuine human connection, not awkward elevator pitches, forced referrals, or cliquish circles.

We set out to create a new kind of community and redefine networking that’s rooted in creativity, authenticity, and ease rather than pressure and performative hustle.

And that stroll along the river, led to .

Now over 2,150+ strong, we host online & in-person events, immersive LinkedIn Audio Rooms, offer handy guides & resources and a soon-to-be-launched paid membership, designed specifically for introverts, misfits, and those disillusioned with mainstream business culture.

It’s a bit of a dream come true to see that, following a nationwide search, our Antisocial movement has been selected as part of this year’s line-up. 🤩

Follow the campaign and discover 100 of the most innovative and admired small businesses across the UK, as we count down to Small Business Saturday on 6th December 2025.

Like many who are part of this campaign, we look forward to championing business owners, creatives, freelancers, entrepreneurs and founders who crave connection without compromising their individuality, mental health, or sense of belonging.

🎉 Find out more about the fantastic
campaign via the link in bio.

🥂 And if you’re keen to join the Antisocial movement, drop us a DM, always happy to chat.
