About Hannah Holden
I am a strategic marketing leader with 25+ years’ experience working for businesses across the financial services sector, including asset management, alternatives, venture capital, wealth management and insurance.
I have developed an in-depth knowledge and understanding of businesses and their marketing challenges, working across external and internal business projects with colleagues at all levels to create business growth.
I have proven track record of delivering demonstrable, quantifiable results through effective, creative and thoughtful marketing and communications to engage charities, institutions, intermediaries & wealthy individuals and families.
Priding myself on my personable, easy-to-deal-with approach, I established my own consultancy in 2024, to support businesses looking for marketing expertise combined with investment knowledge.
I have also utilised my marketing expertise to support a number of not for profit organisations.
How do I work?
I offer an initial, one hour consultation at no cost to you, to discuss your requirements.
For project based work, I will then share a proposal based upon my recommendations for the project. If you’re happy with that, to ensure both parties are in agreement, there is a contract for signature before I commence any work. You will be kept up to date on my progress throughout the project and if at any point I think your project is going to go over the agreed/proposed time spent you will be notified in advance and we will agree the best way to proceed according to your budget and needs.
For clients working on a retainer, there is also a contract for signature before I commence any work and we’ll keep in touch regularly throughout the month with meetings or email updates as required.
What safeguarding measures do you have in place?
To ensure both parties are in agreement there is a contract for signature before I commence any work, which includes a non-disclosure clause.
I hold Professional Indemnity Insurance, I am ICO registered and GDPR compliant.
