Sophie Comas

Founder

I am a freelance marketing consultant with significant travel and leisure marketing experience within blue chip organisations. More recently setting up RIMU Marketing I have worked with a number of different small businesses across broad range of industries. These include a travel agent, personal trainer, a boutique hotel, interior designers, beautician, lifestyle coaches, even a canine massage therapist. Every business is different. In my experience the fundamental element to a successful marketing campaign is that the business owner is committed, engaged and part of the journey.

On a personal note, I have a passion for all sports including horse riding, running, tennis and netball. I love creative design, travelling and working with children. I am a current Chartered Marketer (MCIM) and member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing with a postgraduate diploma.

Helen Kirkby

Graphic Designer

I’ve been a graphic designer for 25+ years, and worked across different sectors within agencies and in-house marketing departments. I’ve gained a wealth of experience and a sound customer-focused approach to my design work. I’m a stickler for detail, balanced with creativity and accessibility – my work is very practical with clean, sharp designs and neat layouts. It’s great to be part of the RIMU Marketing team and helping to make a real difference to all the fantastic businesses that RIMU supports. When I’m not being creative on my beloved iMac you’ll find me practising Pilates, at my outdoor circuit class, walking around Windsor Great Park or catching up with friends.

Ginette East

Graphic Designer

Having been in the graphic design industry for over 20 years I have gained a vast experience working with many different industries. I bring an innovative approach to all of my graphic projects and producing consistently high quality designs for businesses large or small. I always work hard to realise my clients’ vision by creating thoughtful and strategically developed design solutions. I am delighted to be working alongside the team at RIMU Marketing. When I am not at my desk and manage to find some time to relax, I enjoy being in the garden with my chickens.

Kittie Walker

Web Development, User Experience and SEO Specialist

After almost two decades in the banking sector as a turnaround specialist in the retail, hospitality, care and property sectors, I left to form Indigo Girl and then Sero Digital. Since then, 12 years and counting, I’ve helped clients to grow their businesses online. My expertise is in developing customer-focused strategies enabling clients to reach, engage and convert their ideal audiences into raving fans and customers. I achieve this through a variety of disciplines including research, website information architecture, search engine optimisation, conversion rate optimisation and search engine marketing. Being a data nerd – a requirement of the job – some might consider my pastimes a little boring, but I’m never happier than when I am immersed in learning opportunities, experiencing new cultures and exploring how things work.

Polly Reed

Marketing Assistant

After a number of years working in events, I decided to make the move to become a freelancer to fit in with family life. Now two children later, I am still supporting small businesses by helping them find an extra hour in the day so they can focus on the parts of their business that they enjoy the most. When I’m not working with Sophie and the brilliant RIMU Marketing team, I can be found running after my two boys and attempting to find some time to do yoga!

Emma Scott

Marketing Assistant

I am passionate about supporting small businesses with their marketing, enabling them to grow and thrive. I have developed a breadth of experience during a wide variety of roles in both the pharmaceutical and FMCG Industries, plus more recently with smaller businesses through freelance work. I am pleased to be part of the RIMU Marketing team. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family.

Sarah Walton-Davey

Marketing Assistant

I’ve worked on a range of projects across different industries over the past 20 years, but made the switch to freelancing to give me more flexibility to look after my daughters. They may now both be in secondary school, but I’ve never looked back. After having worked with large corporate organisations, freelancing has given me the opportunity to work with some incredible small businesses and really get into the detail of what makes them ‘tick’. I am pleased to be back working with the RIMU Marketing team. Family life keeps me busy when I’m not working, but when I do have free time I enjoy going to the gym or catching up with friends.
