Me: putting the Ellie into Eleanor Mollie since the mid 90s 👋🏻
I’m a writer who specialises in helping small business owners and multi-passionate people explain exactly who they are and what they do, by bringing out the person in their personal brand (see what I did there?)
I have a decade’s worth of copywriting experience, two decades’ experience of supporting small businesses, and nearly three decades’ of experience championing people who want to do things their own way (because — and I apologise in advance for bringing this up — that’s how long ago the 90s was. Excuse me while I go and shout at Father Time). Eleanor Mollie combines those three so that I get to live them all every day — how lucky am I?
I’ve also got around 82730 photos of the sunset on my phone (at a conservative guess 🌇), one degree I hated (philosophy 🧐) and one I loved (linguistics, because not only do I love words but I really loved writing my dissertation on One Direction 😎), am currently in the middle of a passionate love affair with tiramisu ☕, and own not one but two duck popcorn makers🍿.
As well as working with loads of inspirational one-person bands and small indies, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking at companies such as Pinterest and consulting for big players like Not On The High Street.
Plus because so many of us are living that multi-hyphenate lifestyle, I also proudly co-host Re: The Podcast and founded The Enthusiast, a platform to encourage people to be more enthusiastic.
But enough about me. How about you?
Whether you prefer small business owner, entrepreneur, or Big Boss Bitch, I love to work with people who care deeply about what they do. People who care about the legacy they’re creating. Who are here to connect and create impact, in a non-buzzwordy way. Who’ve dared to bring something different into the world, and backed themselves to be the ones to do it.
(Whilst I wait for updated brand photos, I searched a stock photo site for “small business owners”. This was one of the results, which begs the question(s): what kind of operation are these lambs running? What’s their origin story? Can I get them on the podcast?)
Here’s what I believe:
That personal and professional not only can go together, but SHOULD go together.
That bragging isn’t a bad thing — we just need to reframe how we think about it & do it (shoutout to Meredith Fineman for that one).
That the world — and therefore your business — needs more you.
That La La Land should have had a different ending.
And all of these beliefs underpin everything I do as a personal branding copywriter and customer delight designer (ok, bar one — I’ll leave you to figure out which.)
And in the words of Troy Bolton: what about us?
Well, we could be as happy as Lamby up there, if you think we’d be a good fit.
