She shared her journey from marketing to management, and the role of data in business growth. This wasn't all just talking about how important software is for your business. Which it is, mind you! But we also looked at overcoming fears of numbers and efficient delegation. And utilising ways to market to potential customers outside of the creative fields.It's so easy to say that our clients aren't sitting in front of computers, but some of them are!
