Insights Discovery is a personality profiling tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung. It helps people understand their communication style, strengths and potential blind spots by using a simple colour model - Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green, and Cool Blue.

My Insights Discovery profile reveals a strong Earth Green which means I’m collaborative, supportive and enthusiastic. I naturally enjoy working with people and as part of a team. Cool Blue shows my strengths for attention to detail, being research focussed and applying logic using facts and figures.

Additional Services

  • Great merchandising goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about understanding what drives people to engage, explore, and buy. I specialise in creating merchandising strategies rooted in marketing psychology and behavioural science, turning passive browsers into active buyers.

    By leveraging principles such as scarcity, social proof, and anchoring, I design product displays and placements that speak directly to consumer behaviour. Whether it’s crafting high-conversion layouts, optimizing shelf positioning, or using subtle cues to guide customer journeys, every detail is intentional.

    Through data-informed insights and tested psychological techniques, I ensure your products aren’t just seen — they’re remembered, desired, and sold.

  • Successfully launching a newly invested retail business takes more than just turning the lights on and opening the door — it requires meticulous planning, coordination, and execution. I specialise in opening newly invested venues or start up sites with a focus on efficiency, impact, and long-term success.

    From day one, I manage the entire critical path — overseeing timelines, ensuring operational readiness, and hitting key milestones. I liaise seamlessly with multiple stakeholders including investors, operations teams, contractors, and local authorities to keep everything aligned and on track.

    I also handle the creative and strategic rollout of launch marketing materials — from signage and branding to digital promotions and in-venue assets — ensuring your opening makes a strong first impression and draws in your target audience.

    Whether it’s a full refurbishment or a brand-new concept, I bring the structure, communication, and energy needed to bring your vision to life on time and on brand.

  • In hospitality and retail, great experiences don’t just happen — they’re built on solid operations behind the scenes. That’s where I come in.

    I focus on creating processes that actually work for the people using them. Whether it’s improving day-to-day workflows, cutting out unnecessary steps, or making sure the team has what they need to deliver great service, I’m all about making things run smarter and smoother.

    I bring structure without the red tape — setting up clear processes, tracking what matters, and helping teams stay on the same page. I work collaboratively with teams to make sure we’re moving in the same direction, solving problems before they become issues, and constantly improving how things are done.

  • Your brand is more than just a logo — it’s the full experience, from the way your team speaks to customers to the look and feel of your menus, signage, and socials. I create operational brand guidelines that bridge the gap between creative identity and real-world execution

    I work with businesses to define the core elements of their brand — tone of voice, visual identity, colour palette, typography but I also look at it from an operational perspective from front-of-house standards, uniform styling, signage, and even music and lighting.

    I package everything into an easy-to-follow guide that teams can use day-to-day. Whether it’s for a new concept or a full rebrand, I make sure every detail reflects who you are and connects with your customers.

  • Are you a holiday let owner looking to boost bookings or ready to take the leap into launching your property on the holiday let market?

    I specialise in helping property owners attract more guests, increase revenue and take the stress out of marketing. From professional listings and eye-catching photography to social media promotion and performance tracking, I can provide everything you need to get your holiday rental noticed.

Industries and Case Studies

  • 'I couldn't have asked for a better experience'

    Setting up my new holiday was a dream I’d had for years, and thanks Jane, it became a reality far beyond my expectations. From day one, Jane was knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely passionate about helping me get everything right.

    Jane guided me through every stage of the process – producing beautiful, professional marketing packs that truly captured the charm of the property. Her advice on equipment and furnishings was spot on, making sure the space was fully equipped to meet guest expectations while staying within budget.

    Jane handled the Airbnb launch with expertise and attention to detail, making sure the listing was optimised and eye-catching. I didn’t have to worry about anything because she had it all covered. Bookings have doubled in just a few short months.

  • 'Professional, Commercial & High Output'

    Jane has extensive experience in all areas of retail and hospitality marketing with a strong commercial point of view. She can flex from very large scale projects to smaller ones with the same attention to detail and care.

    Jane worked for me in several roles for a total of 6 years, and during that time was promoted several times taking on larger roles and budgets during that time. I have never worked with a marketing professional with a higher level of output than Jane and would not hesitate to recommend her to large clients and small.

  • 'I couldn’t recommend working with her more highly'

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jane over many years, and I’m delighted to now be collaborating with her to support Elf Marketing’s new business development.

    Jane is exceptionally proactive and has quickly secured multiple meetings with prospective clients, demonstrating her effectiveness and drive. She also provides strategic business consultancy to my own company and is playing a key role in shaping the future direction of Elf.

    I couldn’t recommend working with her more highly.
