Marketing with a purpose,
not just a presence.
I'm Samantha Beeny, a marketing consultant based in Ashford, helping brands and businesses across Kent attract customers through clear strategy, engaging content and hands-on marketing support.

not just a presence.

Based in Ashford, I work with businesses across Kent and beyond, with particular experience in food and drink, hospitality, visitor attractions, climbing, weddings and events.
From introducing a vineyard's first wine to helping established businesses reach new customers, I bring together strategic thinking, creative ideas and the practical work needed to make things happen.
Before going freelance, I built my own business, The Pretty Prep Studios, from concept to award-winning brand. I understand how much goes into running a business and how important it is that marketing serves a clear purpose.
I get to know your business, work out where marketing can make a difference and get on with delivering it.

I work directly with every client. No account managers, no handoffs. I become an extension of your business, getting to know what you're trying to achieve and taking ownership of the marketing needed to help get you there.
Where a project needs specialist support, I can work alongside your existing suppliers or bring in trusted photographers, designers, developers and other specialists.

Every business needs something different. I work with brands and businesses across Kent and beyond to understand what they want to achieve, decide where to focus and put the right marketing into action.
Finding the right direction
Working out what your business needs, where the opportunities are and where your marketing time and budget can make the biggest difference. A clear plan built around your goals and the resources you have.
Making it happen
Turning plans into activity, from content and communications to launches, collaborations and reaching new customers. Bringing together the ideas, people and practical work needed to get things moving.
Ongoing marketing support
Working as an extension of your team, bringing ideas, coordinating activity and taking ownership of delivery. Getting to know your business and keeping your marketing focused as it develops.
Depending on your business, that might include social media, email marketing, website content, advertising, partnerships or launch support.

Prices vary depending on the work required and the size of your organisation. Ongoing support starts from £300 per month, and more strategic work is priced accordingly. I always try to work within a budget that suits each client.

What clients say
“Sam has been a pleasure to work with, creatively guiding us through major campaigns with a smile, securing us some great coverage and always doing it with infectious enthusiasm.”
“Sam has been a pleasure to work with, creatively guiding us through major campaigns with a smile, securing us some great coverage and always doing it with infectious enthusiasm.”
“I've had the pleasure of working with Samantha at Sharp Relations for over 3 years. From the off, she quickly became a valued part of our team and someone our clients really enjoy working with. Samantha has a brilliant ability to get under the skin of a business. She doesn't just tick off a list of activities; she asks great questions and genuinely wants to understand what makes a brand different and then finds creative ways to tell that story. Whether she is building marketing tactics, creating content, supporting PR campaigns or spotting opportunities, she always brings energy, curiosity and commercial thinking to the table. She builds great relationships with clients and works across a wide range of food, drink, tourism and hospitality brands, including clients such as Fever-Tree, Folkestone Harbour Arm and a number of exciting challenger brands like Chilli No.5. One thing that always stood out was Samantha's ability to spot left-field opportunities. She's not someone who waits to be asked; if she spots an idea that could benefit a client, she runs with it with a great level of initiative and drive. A good example was helping bring together Chilli No.5 and Weber in a brand collaboration that created valuable exposure for both brands. Most importantly, Samantha is hardworking, proactive, creative and genuinely invested in the success of the businesses she works with. She brings positivity and humour to a team environment, takes ownership of her work and always wants to make things better for her clients. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Samantha to any business looking for someone with not just great energy and humour, but who combines commercial thinking with a practical, hands-on approach to target-driven marketing and communications.”
“Sam is enthusiastic, full of energy and bursting with ideas! I really enjoyed working with Sam at Sharp, we worked on client accounts together and I always found her to be keen to do a good job and drive accounts forward. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to social media and she has some great PR contacts. Sam is also very talented at creating engaging social media content for a wide variety of brands. I would be very happy to work with Sam again in the future and wish her all the very best.”
“Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with during a year-long PR campaign. She took great care of our PR relationships and we ended up with local and national coverage well above our forecasted KPIs. She really knows her stuff, especially when it comes to hospitality and weddings, and her advice and support throughout were invaluable. I'd love the chance to work with her again someday.”
“Finding someone who deeply understands both the climbing industry and how to market within it is incredibly rare. Sam brings both. Since joining Climb HQ, Sam has become far more than a marketing consultant. She has become a trusted member of the team, contributing to strategy, business development and helping us identify new opportunities across the sector. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to build relationships. She understands the challenges climbing centre owners face and communicates their services in a way that resonates with their audience. Sam doesn't just deliver marketing activity. She challenges our thinking, contributes ideas, identifies gaps in the market and helps us shape the future direction of the business. We see Sam as a genuine partner in the growth of Climb HQ and would not hesitate to recommend her to any business looking for someone who combines strategic thinking, relationship building and commercial awareness with excellent marketing expertise.”
