As an MCIM (Member of The Chartered Institute of Marketing), Clare has demonstrated significant knowledge and experience. She’s worked as an International Editorial Director at a major UK tech publisher and UK MD at a US-based content marketing agency, so it was a natural step when her holistic approach to helping other people’s projects fly sparked the idea for Blue Cactus Digital in 2017.
