Creative Marketing
| Founder, Stella's Studios

Katie McCotter

Digital marketer and brand builder with 3 years of experience founding and scaling a D2C apparel brand to £50,000+ in first-year revenue. Specialises in campaign strategy, social media growth, and influencer marketing, with hands-on experience across analytics, paid and organic advertising, and email marketing. Combines strong commercial instinct with visual and brand expertise to create marketing that performs.

I'm now seeking to apply this experience within a focused marketing role, contributing strategic and creative expertise as part of a team rather than across every business function.

What I do

01 / Service

Campaign Strategy

End-to-end concepts that connect brand story to commercial outcome. For Stella's Studios I conceived, planned and executed a culturally-timed Euros 2024 launch on a compressed timeline - 100+ units sold on day one, £6,300+ in campaign revenue and 37.8% of total weekly revenue from a single product line.

  • Euros 2024 launch
  • 100+ units day one
  • 37.8% of weekly revenue

Social & Community

Grew Stella's Studios from a standing start to 10,000+ followers across TikTok and Instagram, with 2m+ organic video views and a 200%+ TikTok follower jump in five months through trend-aware, product-led content. For Raptor Hot Sauce I consulted and built an illustrated social asset library and a recipe-led TikTok video; for Ivy & Gold I expanded content strategy onto TikTok, adapting tone and visuals for a sentiment-led jewellery audience.

  • 2m+ organic views

Influencer & Partnerships

Sourcing, briefing, negotiation and reporting on a lean budget. At Stella's Studios I ran gifting and collaboration programmes that expanded organic reach and drove product discovery without paid amplification. I built long term relationships with both micro-influencers and creators with millions of followers to create a trusted community.

  • Low-budget gifting
  • Creator briefs & ops
  • Organic reach expansion

Paid, Email & Analytics

Paid social, lifecycle and reporting held together with commercial discipline. Built and grew a 2,000+ subscriber email programme in Shopify Email and Klaviyo - welcome, launch, promo and retention flows - and used Google Analytics and Meta Business Suite to identify high-performing formats and re-invest into the next campaign. Owned Shopify storefront CRO and checkout performance end-to-end.
