Hello! I’m Suz Bird. A freelance marketer you’ve probably heard about from another business owner – or spotted on Instagram with a coffee. Both are likely true.
Originally from Cape Town, I landed in Aberdeen in 2003 and have worked in marketing and communications for over two decades, across a range of industries throughout the UK. I’ve worked both agency-side and in-house, before drying out my employed coffee cup and turning freelance in June 2016.
Over the years, I’ve worked across hospitality, healthcare, recruitment, retail, technology, consultancy, financial services, hair and beauty, and the third sector – creating digital marketing and social media strategies that make a real difference.
Let’s grab a coffee.“… I worked with Suz to start a social media presence from scratch for a new brand; and I significantly extended her role to bring all her gifts, talents, and experience into my broader business. What you get when you work with Suz is someone who is strategically operational, who focuses on the overall business outcomes and drills right down to the specifics of what that means in marketing infrastructure and campaigns.”
Consultant, Leadership Coach and Author.
Since going freelance in 2016, I’ve supported businesses in a very hands-on way. From creating and managing social media campaigns for events and launches, writing digital marketing and social media strategies, training social media teams, running creative sessions and building content plans businesses can actually stick to.
Working as an extension of the team, I’ve supported new venues, services, festivals and products with digital marketing and social media campaigns and run social media at awards ceremonies and conferences.
The common thread through all of it is practical, people-first marketing and a collaborative way of working that makes the process feel lighter and clearer.
Let’s grab a coffee.“Suz makes an awesome sounding board. If you’re looking for someone to add genuine value to your business and to help you win great feedback for your digital and social media presence (with the added bonus of being a great person to hang out and have coffee with), Suz is the one.”
