Brand strategist and social media marketing specialist for pet businesses

Hi, I’m Christie

I’m a social media and marketing specialist for pet businesses, supporting care-led teams who want to show up online in a way that feels calm, confident, and true to the work they do every day.

I work with catteries, kennels, veterinary practices, groomers, and pet brands that carry a huge amount of responsibility. I understand that you’re not just running a business, you’re caring for animals who mean the world to the people who love them, and that level of trust matters.

I understand how much emotion, pressure, and responsibility sit behind that care. And that understanding shapes everything I do, from the way your brand is built to the way your story is shared online.

Because this work involves being trusted with animals, someone who is considered as family, I know it involves making decisions that affect well-being, safety, and long-term care.

And it carries the quiet emotional weight of wanting to do things properly, every single day.

My role is to help you express that care clearly online. I translate your compassion, professionalism, and high standards into social media and marketing that feels reassuring, aligned, and attracts the right clients, leading to confident, considered enquiries.

I’m based in the UK and work remotely with pet businesses nationwide.

Why This Work is Personal To Me

Caring for animals has always been the thread that runs through my life.

If there was ever a cat, dog, or stray nearby, I was always the one feeding them, looking out for them, and worrying about their safety.

That instinct followed me everywhere I went.

Before Companion Creative, I spent years working as cabin crew, travelling the world, which I loved, and always finding myself drawn to the animals around me.

Animal welfare experience that shapes how I work

When I moved to Dubai in 2013, that care deepened.

I spent several years supporting the Feline Friends Charity, helping with feeding programmes, spaying and neutering, and caring for street cats in need of safety.

It’s also where I rescued my three stray cats, Mimi, Dibbles, and Billy, who later returned with me to the UK.

Back home, I continued supporting animal welfare through Cats Protection, where I began helping with their ‘cat cuddling’ and social media and realised how much I loved telling their stories and how powerful that was for their social content.

That realisation led me to begin a new chapter…

Your online presence should honour the care you give every day.

How Companion Creative Came To Be

I began studying and working in brand strategy and social media, and quickly saw how many pet-care businesses were struggling, not because they didn’t care, very far from it, but because they didn’t know how to communicate that care clearly online.

That’s where Companion Creative was born.

Today, I blend my animal welfare experience with brand strategy and social media marketing, helping pet businesses create content and branding that:

  • Builds trust

  • Feels reassuring, not salesy

  • Supports enquiries without overwhelm

  • Reflects the real quality of their care

What Guides My Work

The values behind every project, partnership, and piece of work I create.

Creativity

Creativity that comes from real experience, and focuses on telling your story in a warm, human way.

 Passion

A lifelong love for animals that fuels every part of my work and commitment to this beautiful industry.

 Dedication

Showing up fully, consistently, and with integrity, always striving to go above and beyond for the businesses and animals I support.

Compassion

Care sits at the heart of everything I do, for animals, for people, and for the work we create together. This is who I am at my core.

Your care deserves to be seen and chosen.

When your social media and marketing don’t reflect the warmth, professionalism and compassion behind your work, it becomes harder to attract the right clients, and harder to stay consistent.

My services are designed to take that pressure off you.

With a blend of animal-welfare understanding, brand strategy and thoughtful social media marketing, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and content that finally feels aligned and like you!

Ideal for pet businesses who:

  • feel stuck trying to stay consistent online

  • aren’t sure how to express their care clearly

  • want their online presence to feel more trusted and professional

  • aren’t seeing the enquiries they’d hoped for

  • feel overwhelmed by content and want someone to take that weight off
