Satiate
Start-ups need strategic clarity, not marketing confusion. My role is to provide the foundations founders need to launch with confidence.
As Satiate's Pre-Launch Marketing Strategist, I designed their go-to-market strategy from discovery through to launch. I mapped target audiences, defined positioning, shaped their channel strategy, and built the complete customer journey - giving Sophie a clear roadmap to launch her category-defining app.
“Working with Harriet was a real power play in unlocking clarity for my early-stage start-up as we moved into our first marketing phase. After 20+ years in the industry, she is genuinely one of the most audience-obsessed marketing and brand strategists I've worked with.
Harriet is fiercely curious and commercially grounded, both traits that are absolutely vital when solving a founder's biggest growth challenges. She has a deep understanding of the realities of time-poor early-stage founders, which meant our engagements were highly efficient, focused, and impactful.
I would highly recommend working with Harriet.”
Sophie Orlando, Founder, Satiate
Boo Agency
Agencies need strategic partners who can integrate seamlessly when pitching major accounts or delivering complex client work.
I supported Boo Agency with digital retail merchandising strategy (and deployment) for a technology and gaming client.
“Harriet has been a totally exceptional extended member of our team.
Her knowledge and understanding of big global brands like Microsoft add so much to our team.
She is not only world-class at what she does, she’s brilliant to work with.
For any teams looking for a heavyweight to add to their pitch/agency offering, look no further.”
Jack White, Managing Director, Boo Agency
Buns of Joy
Working with founder-led businesses means understanding the balance between ambition and resource constraints. My role is to provide strategic clarity so founders can focus on growth, not marketing confusion.
As Buns of Joy’s Marketing Partner, I managed the launch campaign and continue to support with ‘business as usual’ campaign strategy and activity. My work is vast; encompassing marketing strategy, planning and deployment across social, web, print and events.
“From the moment Harriet agreed to work with us, it was evident that her extensive marketing background would play a pivotal role.
However, perhaps Harriet’s most remarkable quality was her unwavering support and encouragement throughout the journey. Her genuine passion for our vision and belief in our potential served as a constant source of inspiration and motivation.
I wholeheartedly recommend Harriet to anyone seeking a driven and capable partner who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.”
Leah Waring, Founder and Director, Buns of Joy
Another Brand Consultancy
Agencies and consultancies often need specialist expertise for specific client sectors. I partner with teams to provide strategic depth in retail, gaming, and global campaign marketing.
I currently support Alex and the AnotherBrand Consultancy team with a busy client load. I support retail automotive and B2B tech clients with marketing strategy, brand strategy and campaign activity.
“Smart? Yep. Honest? Yep. Over a decade of experience with a household entertainment brand? Yep.
Lots of yeps.
Don't be intimidated by someone with more intellect than you, who works harder than you...hire them!
Harriet's a friend, a current collaborator and a former colleague.
Insert more positive adjectives here. Add hashtags. But work with her if you can.”
Alex Hall, Managing Director, AnotherBrand Consultancy
TV Curious Club
Building educational communities that genuinely serve audiences while generating qualified leads requires strategic clarity. I helped bridge the gap between providing value and driving conversions through clear positioning, defined customer journeys, and systematic execution plans.
I really enjoyed working with Lydia to build the strategic foundation for TV Curious Club - creating a roadmap that turns community members into high-value clients.
“Harriet took a detailed holistic view of my business's marketing challenges, and converted them into an easy to follow journey. She listened, and took on board concerns and challenges of the brief.
She brought her expertise to the job with a high level approach to strategy translating it into concrete conclusions and next steps.
The result being a solid 90 day plan involving granular detail of audience, content and strategy. Harriet is straight forward, focussed and intentional. Would highly recommend, feels like you're in safe hands.”
Lydia Esler, Founder, TV Curious Club & Studio 90
Fresh Movement
Winning major pitches requires specialised strategic expertise. I work with agencies to strengthen positioning, sharpen messaging, and bring senior marketing credibility to high-stakes proposals.
I really enjoyed working with Fresh Movement to provide retail consulting expertise for a new technology/gaming client proposal and pitch.
“Working with Harriet from HCxConsulting has been completely refreshing.
Her strategic insights and expertise in the retail tech sector are unmatched.
Coupled with that she is dependable and detail-oriented - a true asset to our team.”
Gareth Shuttleworth, Co-Founder, Fresh Movement
Clockwork Media
With my extensive experience working on global campaigns - I love supporting organisations to create bespoke marketing strategies that work for all their audiences.
I provided consulting campaign expertise for Clockwork Media. I successfully managed the local and global advertising campaigns for a new global gaming brand.
“To keep it simple: Harriet is the reliable and honest professional you need to help your business succeed—just as she did for us!
Her guidance and expertise were invaluable in supporting the onboarding and rollout of the Xbox Global Advertising localisation work.”
Ciaran Burnard, Managing Partner, Clockwork Media
Wild Moments Floral Design
Many founders lack the time or expertise to research new markets and develop compelling positioning. I provide strategic direction and market insights that help businesses expand with confidence.
I worked with Holly at Wild Moments Floral Design to research, develop and deploy a refreshed content strategy to attract a specific target audience.
“I cannot stress enough how much Harriet's strategies have helped my business in such a short period of time. Right from the beginning, Harriet did extensive research on my business and the industry I operate in.
This enabled her to understand my brand, objectives and target audience and create a tailored experience that went above and beyond my expectations.
Thanks to Harriet's expertise, I now have a creative and strategic approach to social media and online marketing.”
Hollie Day, Owner, Wild Moments Floral Design
