Senior project management, exactly when you need it.

I plug into your team by the day, the sprint or the month to run brand and marketing projects, from rebrands and campaigns to launches, and leave you with processes that keep working after I've gone.

You've got the ideas and the people. You just need someone to hold it all together.

I work with teams who are stretched, busy and about to do something important. Sound familiar?

Agencies

A busy quarter, a PM on leave, or a pitch win with no one free to run it.

In-house brand and marketing teams

A rebrand, campaign or launch landing on top of business as usual.

Startups and scale-ups

Growth has outpaced your process and the requests keep flooding in.

Founders

A website build or launch with designers, developers and suppliers to keep in step.

How I help

Delivery Management Plans, timelines, budgets, briefs and sign-offs, handled from kick-off to launch. You get clear weekly updates and no surprises.

Process and workflow set-up If requests are flooding in and admin is eating your team's time, I'll design a simpler way of working and roll it out, including AI-powered workflows that cut admin and speed up delivery. Teams I've worked with have gone on to adopt my processes company-wide.

Team and stakeholder coordination Creative, design, marketing, tech, agencies and suppliers, all moving in the same direction. Everyone knows what's due, who owns it and why it matters.

Interim and cover PM Parental leave, a gap between hires, or a project that's drifted off track. I step in at senior level and get up to speed fast, so your team doesn't have to hand-hold.

Ways to work together!

Project Health Check: £295 A half-day deep dive into a project that's stuck, slipping or simply messy. Within 48 hours you get a written recovery plan with clear next steps. A low-risk way to see how I work.

Process Reset: from £1,800 I map how work currently flows, design a simpler intake and delivery process, roll it out and train your team. Usually around four days, with a fixed price agreed up front.

Interim PM: price on request Embedded with your team two to four days a week for one to three months. Perfect for leave cover, gaps between hires or a rebrand.

Hi, I’m Deborah

I’ve spent more than 15 years making brand and marketing projects happen. Most recently, I was Associate Director of Project Management at WPP Media on the Google account, brought in to drive operational efficiency, introduce AI-driven workflows and align global cross-functional teams. Before that: global AdTech at Teads, media at Future, a fast-growing startup at Fastic, and agency life.

I’ve led cross-functional teams, run multi-million-pound projects and led a full company rebrand as Senior Brand Marketing Project Manager. Along the way I learned that great work rarely fails for lack of ideas. It fails when no one is holding the threads.

That's the role I play. I bring structure without bureaucracy, calm when deadlines get loud, and a habit of leaving every team with a simpler way of working than the one I found.

Today I also run Brand Cactus, helping founders build clear, confident brands. Freelance PM work keeps me close to what I love most: getting brilliant work out of the door.
