It followed senior level work with dealer groups representing Skoda, Seat, Honda and Nissan.
She believes she is in a prime position to take corporate experience and insight to small and medium-sized businesses.
Anderlea said: “I’m hoping to challenge the industry perception with my offering. My goal is to offer marketing support to businesses that don’t require a full-time marketing manager, businesses that are looking to outsource marketing either for a smaller number of hours per month or for ad-hoc projects.
“With my experience, which extends beyond a decade, working in the marketing industry across a range of different brands and industries - both agency and client side - I’m looking forward to assisting businesses solve key marketing challenges from a strategic and operational perspective.”
She is keen to shatter a misguided notion that strategic marketing support is only for larger corporations, offering a fresh and driven approach.
“I’m fortunate to be beginning this journey with some fantastic clients already secured, for which I’m incredibly grateful, but if business owners would like to have a chat about how I may be able to assist in driving their business forward, I’d be happy to do so,” the University of Lincoln graduate added.
