our

founder.

Geo started her "influencer" career 10 years ago as a sixth form student, making pocket money by building blogs and editing content for the world's early bloggers and YouTubers. Whilst studying film at university she fell more in love with this industry, editing YouTube videos to pay rent and interning at fashion brands at their blogger events and shoots, going on to manage talent directly as a result.

 

Fast forward to now and she is still crazy about this fast-paced, ever-evolving industry, and has worked agency-side and in-house at some of the most exciting brands in the world. After spending a month in 2018 travelling around the far east learning about the "influencer" world from a completely different perspective, Geo spent a year as Global Advocacy Manager at Charlotte Tilbury Beauty.

 

The Happy Cat team now spend their days speaking at industry events, leading influencer marketing courses and working with brands to deliver impactful and exciting campaigns.

Official quote from founder:

"We started working with Happy Cat 6 months prior to launching Sons, both our founders had very little understanding of the advocate/influencer industry. Happy Cat helped educate our business and develop a winning strategy in the channel. They have shown that they can identify and access the right advocates through their strong industry relationships and also have the expertise to set up and execute campaigns that drive ROI."

customer targeting strategy and team education

Official quote from CEO:

Before Happy Cat. 100% of our marketing efforts were B2B. They delivered outstanding training to our founders and the team to shift our mindset to understand the customer more, and created an unbelievable strategy to define how we should be marketing to the end consumer which we'll be using in everything we do going forward. They trained our teams on compliance and industry best practice. Their passion is contagious.
