Marketing Strategist for Creative Businesses
I’m a digital marketing strategist working with creative businesses who want their work to be understood, not just published. I’ve spent years helping businesses improve their websites, SEO, and digital presence — translating between creative ideas and the systems that make them visible online.
Alongside my client work, I’m also building my own creative practice as a novelist.
That combination shapes how I work: I understand both the need to be seen, and the need to stay true to your voice while doing it.
About MollyKoe
My Background
I’m England-based with strong ties to the U.S. (Chicago). My career began in editorial and evolved into marketing and SEO. I understand the many hats we all wear, especially small business owners in the context of their business, because I’ve worn them too.
My core marketing skills include:
- Marketing strategy & consultancy
- SEO & keyword research
- Content development & writing
- Project management and process design
- Audience development & analytics
Business Goals:
- Work with Bath-based clients.
- Join a community of like-minded people (with a strong female presence) who share ideas and perspectives.
- Pursue more creative projects.
Who I Work With
I want to work with passionate and creative people who:
- Want to translate creative ideas into a finished project or consistent revenue
- Struggle to maintain momentum alone
- Prefer practical, deliverable-focused coaching over high-level theory
- Value a collaborative, empathetic coach who keeps them honest
Creative Efforts
Creative Writing
The greatest joy and torment of my existence is writing. I love writing with the same weight that I abhor it. Since I was very young, I have been writing stories, but I feel a painful frustration with writing, too. I dabbled in travel essays for a few years and have had a few short stories published in minor publications. I’m currently working on a magical realism novel about mothers and daughters.
Creative goal: publish a novel.
Book Reviews
Even before I could read, I carried around books. There is something so aesthetically pleasing about bound pages. When I spent months at a time living out of a carry-on-sized backpack, I still bought and carried around book-books! It’s an endearing joke about which loved ones tease me. Wanting to have book-books is probably my most prima donna insistence.
I review books on Goodreads and Amazon. Send me something to read–your favorite book or something you’ve written.
Personal Interests & Goals
Travel
In 2006 when I was 17 years old, I studied abroad with the U.S.’s People2People Student Ambassador Program in France, Italy, and Malta. I promised myself that travel would be a priority for the rest of my life…
… but I didn’t leave the U.S. again until 2015 when I went to Germany for a week-long seminar with a graduate class. A few months after that, I transitioned from my desk job to a remote job and spent the next five years traveling. I lived in different countries and worked Chicago office hours.
Traveling in England in 2022 introduced my husband, and I moved to Bath in October 2023 to live with him, my stepson, and our cat, Salem. And in March of 2025, we welcomes a baby girl into the mix.
Since moving, I have been more stationary. Getting used to my new home and focusing on MollyKoe Ltd. Travel is still happening, but it looks a bit different now.
Life goal: achieve fluency in Spanish.
Tarot Reading
What started as a pandemic hobby has turned into a meaningful part of my meditation practice. Don’t get distracted by the hippy-dippiness of the craft; Tarot is a kind of Rasch that invites you to see symbolism and themes in your life.

Yoga & Breathwork
After struggling with anxiety and stress for most of my life, I turned to a morning practice of yoga and meditation. This led to raki sessions, massages, chiropractic adjustments, long walks, breathwork, and so many other self-care rituals. Now I feel less anxious and physically more comfortable in my body.
Life goal: complete 200 hr yoga teacher training.
Scuba Diving
I got my Open Water certification in Colombia in 2015, and my Advanced Open Water certification in Thailand in 2019. Most notably, I’ve been diving in Australia on the Great Barrier Reef and around the Galapagos Islands.
Life goals:
- Get Rescue Diver certification
- Get Open Water certification in freediving
- Swim with a whale shark
