I've taken on pivotal roles, including leading an international marketing department at FTSE 100 company DS Smith PLC and holding Director-level positions in various businesses. I've also had the privilege of serving as the Chair of The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Wales board, and was part of the international CIM Membership and the Professional Advisory Group (MPAG).
My main role today is helping B2B Marketers worldwide become truly strategic, moving from reactive and frustrated to proactive and empowered, because I’ve been there too. I want to help them stand up for themselves and give them the tools to fight the marketing gap and see tangible results from their efforts so they can love what they do again.
I’m a Marketing Coach and Founder of the B2B Breakthrough Academy. You might have come across me as a TikTok influencer and podcaster, collaborating with renowned brands like Adobe and LinkedIn.
Throughout my 20+ year career I’ve been honoured with "Brand Strategy of the Year" at both The B2B Marketing Awards and The Drum Marketing Awards and “Marketer of the Year" at the CIM Wales Awards. I'm proud to have been ranked 13th in the top 100 marketing influencers in the Technology for Marketing Awards 2024 and 7th in the top 20 growth marketers in the UK by Favikon. I was also featured in Axonn Media's "Top 140 Global Content Marketing Influencers."
Hello there! I’m Jade…
It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows - it’s been quite a journey for me! Full of mistakes, hard times, tough job shifts, and lots of learning along the way!
2005 - 2006
Left my college art folder on the bus and didn’t care enough to go after it. That was the moment I realised art school was not for me! I landed a random sales job in the paper and ended up selling data to B2B marketing directors - I loved it!
2007 - 2008
I dreamed of joining the marketing team but I still thought ROI meant “Republic of Ireland”. I needed a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualification to move forward in marketing but I couldn't afford CIM events so I handed out biscuits in return for free entry. I saved up and did my qualification introduction certificate.
It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows - it’s been quite a journey for me! Full of mistakes, hard times, tough job shifts, and lots of learning along the way!
2009
Rejected from 11 marketing interviews, until my break. I became Marketing Assistant for a division of one of the biggest companies in the world, DS Smith Plc. I still remember getting the call - I ran out the building with tears running down my face. I had done it. I worked in marketing!
2011 - 2015
I was awarded New Marketer of The Year, and inducted to the board of the CIM in Wales. Promoted to Marketing Manager then promoted again to lead the international marketing team where I hired a whole team and had a blast! Made the chair of the CIM.
2016
Left my position for another where big lessons were learnt and I nearly left marketing altogether! In this season I set up my own company since so many people were asking me for marketing advice.
2017
Hurray postnatal depression and anxiety! Had my first baby, hit a wall, and it took 18 months out to settle into being a mum and work on my recovery: biggest breakthrough ever, stronger mindset than ever.
2019 - 2021
We are back at it! I pivoted to more of a consulting role in my business vs doing campaigns for clients. Had my second baby, and took a nice year off for cuddles.
2022
B2B Jade is born! I launched on TikTok and my podcast, began my journey toward becoming an online educator.
2023
Reached 23k followers on TikTok and big growth on the podcast, booked out with inbound clients, and brand partnerships with the likes of Adobe and Pipedrive. I began working on B2B Breakthrough Academy after listening to what marketers really want. Now I’m putting my heart and soul into delivering it.
