Strategy that survives Monday morning

Commercially rigorous brand strategy and marketing leadership. For financial services, property and other categories with complex buying decisions.

Mind the gap

Lacuna means an unfilled space, a gap. The one between Friday's strategy deck and Monday's team meeting.

Hi, I'm Charlotte, I've led brand strategy for household names, scaled a marketing team from seed to Series B, and been accountable for millions of pounds in marketing spend.

Through Lacuna, I deliver brand strategy marketing teams can build campaigns from, brief agencies with, and defend to the board. Strategy that survives being put to work on a Monday morning.

Charlotte’s ability to rally people and drive progress is exceptional. When it comes to brand and marketing, she’s innovative, yet maintains a steadfast understanding of brand boundaries. She gets things done and brings out the best in everyone. I’d recommend Charlotte to any team looking for a sharp and motivating leader.

Charlotte led our marketing as we scaled from zero to £150M AUM. She was the youngest member of our leadership team, frequently going toe-to-toe with Board members from 30 years in private equity. The combination of brand literacy and real commercial experience is rare in a marketer.
Simon Heawood
CEO, Bricklane
Charlotte helped me close corporate partnerships with Google, Amazon and Blackstone. She's strategic and practical, always bringing ideas that actually drive growth. Direct, reliable, smart, and great to work with, couldn't recommend her more.
