Meet Janet
Freelance Creative Thinker
With over 30 years of experience in business development, marketing, customer service, and sales, I bring a wealth of expertise to every project. My career has been shaped by a passion for helping businesses grow, and I’ve continually adapted to the ever changing marketing landscape to stay ahead of the curve.
As a freelance creative thinker, I specialise in making marketing approachable, affordable, and effective for small businesses and independent brands. I thrive on turning complex ideas into clear, engaging campaigns that spark curiosity, build connections, and deliver results.
At Outside the Box Creative Marketing, my mission is simple: to support local businesses with strategies that combine creativity, affordability, and impact. Whether it’s a one‑off project or a long‑term partnership, I work closely with clients to bring their ideas to life and help their businesses flourish.
How it Started!
Having spent many years in customer facing creative environments and working across many marketing campaigns, I recognised that I could use my skills and passion to think "Outside the Box" and offer my services on a freelance basis.
Supporting voluntary organisations and local small businesses with their marketing needs showed me how powerful a consultative, personalised approach can be, especially when it’s designed to be affordable and accessible. That experience inspired me to focus on providing creative marketing solutions that help businesses grow without breaking the budget.

"Fantastic service received. It was very easy to talk to Janet about the changes I wanted to make from my standard business card to a new updated digital business card. The new digital business card gives me many more options to share on social media but also when I share to customers, my details are automatically stored to their phone for future reference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Janet for your marketing needs & the price I was quoted was the price I paid, no hidden charges."
"We weren't sure what we wanted or needed or how to go about it! We didn't need to worry as Janet did her research and delivered a brilliant service. The quality of design is fabulous with an ease of use too, thank you!
"I would highly recommend Janet from Outside the Box, Janet created my website, nothing was too much trouble she was so easy to work with, quick and took all the pain out of it for me."
