Hi I’m Susan

Through digital marketing and VA services, I support businesses in the Scottish Highlands to share their story, promote themselves and get organised.

My passion project is my blog. This contains useful free resources and articles for businesses working on their social media and organisation. It also contains a wealth of posts about the Scottish Highlands, so if you are planning a trip, you’ll find lots to inspire and inform you!

Testimonials

‘Just had another fantastic afternoon learning how to do reels with Susan. I feel so much more confident posting on social media using content that grabs attention. Delighted to see so much more interaction on our posts, stories and reels. Would highly recommend A Highland Blend and using Susan’s expertise!’

Angela Williamson, Above & Beyond Tours Caithness

‘Susan has been a fantastic support to my team and I over the last 9 years. Susan gets involved in all manner of tasks and works very effectively remotely. I would describe Susan as professional, organised, efficient, meticulous and creative. She is also friendly, helpful and a skilled writer.’

Jacky MacMillan, University of the Highlands and Islands

I am the most technophobic person on this planet. Anything computer or website related, I usually just stick my head in the sand and hide. Susan has helped me massively over the past few weeks and held my hand through the process of designing and planning email campaigns and creating a mailing list. I highly recommend Susan to any fellow dinosaurs that need a hand with marketing, admin or website chat!

Kelly Munro, Kelly Munro Jewellery

‘Susan mostly deals with the social media side of things, but as well as that, Susan will offer a lot of advice. Whenever we’re looking to freshen things up or push things forward, Susan will come up with an abundance of ideas, knowledge and expertise’

Lisa Poulsen, Founder of Caithness Market

‘Susan is very reassuring to work with! I asked her to help me transfer my existing guest info pack to an online guide, and her eye for detail and local knowledge came through in all her suggestions. Her understanding of the brief really showed in the final result. I will certainly be asking her to help with copy and social media again.’

Ben Makin, The Lighthouse Keepers Cottage

‘I have worked with Susan before, so when I needed to pull a social media post together fast, Susan was my first thought. She is friendly, approachable, and understood our vision for the farm. I will be asking for her help again in the future – thanks so much!’

Isla Mackay, Geise Farm Thurso
