Our mission

At Blue Cactus Digital, our mission is to provide strategic, data-driven digital marketing solutions that empower organisations to grow their impact while driving positive social and environmental change. As a nimble, collaborative agency, we integrate seamlessly with our clients, delivering bespoke strategies in SEO, social media management, website design, and video production that align with their unique goals.

Our approach prioritises accessibility and inclusivity, helping underserved groups – such as low-income individuals and marginalised communities – gain access to essential services and opportunities through effective digital communication.

In addition to social impact, we strive to minimise the environmental footprint of digital marketing, advocating for sustainable practices that reduce waste, optimise resources, and support ethical business growth. We are a member of Clean Creatives and have signed The Sustainable Creatives Charter.

Through our expertise, innovation, and purpose-driven approach, we aim to enhance digital engagement, foster long-term impact, and create meaningful change for both our clients and the wider community.

Founder and Lead Strategist

Clare’s determination to make a difference to people’s lives is at the heart of everything Blue Cactus does. 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.

Clare’s happiest getting under the bonnet of other people’s organisations to see where her skills can help. She’s helped tech leaders, startups and dynamic businesses find their niche and promote their message through multi-channel marketing strategies.
