THE WAY I WORK

I believe in doing excellent work with kindness.

A professional cheerleader (the hype man type), I’m passionate about helping people work to their strengths.

I lead through coaching and mentoring, and my management style is to onboard, train and delegate. I don’t micromanage; why stand in the way of great talent?!

Having worked with founders and C-level executives throughout my career, I’m a creative problem solver with excellent communication skills. I enjoy being the person behind the founder, clearing the path and bringing their vision to life.
It’s important to me to be in a space that allows for growth and learning. To be in a team that celebrates diversity. To be part of a business that offers value to the community.

I’m organised. Seriously. A systems-thinker, I see gaps and patterns, knitting together business and culture. Having worked with large teams across time zones, I build teams that feel empowered, autonomous and supported.

I’m a very effective generalist. Curious by nature. Focused when executing.

Also an active member of the online Marketing community, so get in touch if you’re looking to connect!

She is a natural strategic and creative thinker but also a brilliant communicator, who can make even the mundane exciting and engaging.

``Working with Candice is a dream! She just keeps going, and keeps us going. She is a team of one and consistently does the work of many, through various invisible but highly valuable strategies and executions, both internally and externally. The work she does to market the brand on our various channels speaks for itself, and is only possible through her extremely disciplined and diligent project management. She motivates, inspires, and challenges the people around her to care about the work as much as she does. She leads with equal parts precision and kindness and is everything you need in a teammate/project collaborator.``

She has helped me (and our team) grow in so many ways - from creative direction, copy writing to selecting brand merchandise, I’ve learned so much! She inspires, motivates and leads with diligence. Her ability to value everyone’s ideas and suggestions and mould it into something extraordinary will always resonate and inspire me. I’m very proud to have had the chance to work within Candice’s team!``
