Meet your brand manager

Hi, I’m Ruby - a branding specialist with a penchant for chai lattes, a tendency towards perfectionism and a slight Grey’s Anatomy obsession.

Yearning for a more flexible lifestyle to suit my young family, I left my 9-5 in 2020 and founded a virtual assistant business that was fully booked within weeks. There, I had the pleasure of helping some amazing small businesses with everything from customer service to social media. But as time went on, all I wanted to be working on was branding and marketing… So, Buttered Up Branding was born.

I’m a big believer of two things:
1. Small businesses make the world go round, and
2. Beautiful branding and strategic marketing are essential ingredients for business success

But I understand that sometimes, these things don’t go hand in hand very easily.

When we’re in our own small businesses all day every day and we know it inside out, it can be hard to make the right choices to best benefit our brand. Plus, there’s often no room in the budget for big dollar agencies, or an in-house marketing team.

Working with a freelance brand specialist like me gives you all the expertise you need, without the salary and ongoing commitment of an employee.

I feel proud to offer accessible, game-changing strategy and design for service-based small businesses in Australia, and can’t wait to work with you to take your business to new heights.
