who we are
The Beehive team of seasoned Marketing Directors all have extensive experience across
the whole marketing mix, from brand positioning, insights, marketing strategy and innovation
through to communications and P&L management.
Perhaps less typically for Marketing experts, we also have deep experience working with retailers,
from either a commercial or category perspective, which gives us a uniquely holistic lens.

She is passionate about launching new brands that truly cut through and deliver impact (e.g. Garnier Ultimate Blends) and using insight smartly to step change penetration (e.g. SlimFast).
Hannah is particularly proud of her cross-functional experience, having worked across Marketing, Category, Insight and Commercial roles, and is a passionate believe in the power of collaboration and cross-functional thinking to achieve a brand’s true potential.
Here's what some of our clients have to say about working with us:

going forwards.

Hannah is an excellent, experienced business and marketing leader. She has a truly valuable ability to set and execute clear, robust commercial and brand strategies which deliver long-term profitable growth. Her energy and positive outlook make her a pleasure to work with too.
Vanessa Palmer

The reason that we keep picking up the phone to ask Hannah to come back is because she possesses the rare ability to bring strategic input whilst keeping her feet on the ground and being prepared toget her hands dirty when necessary –
a must at L’Oreal!
If you want to gather honey,
