My story
From BMW to your Instagram feed.
I'm a marketing professional with over 20 years of experience. I spent many years working for BMW and MINI in a corporate marketing role. After having children I decided to set up Outside The Box, and I've enjoyed nearly 10 years of business providing local companies with flexible marketing support.
Corporate marketing at BMW and MINI
Laura spent many years in a corporate marketing role at BMW and MINI, learning how big brands plan, launch and stay consistent.
A new chapter
After having children, Laura decided it was time to do things her own way and bring that big brand experience closer to home.
Outside The Box is born
She set up Outside The Box to give local companies flexible, hands-on marketing support.
Nearly 10 years on
Today Laura manages social media, creates content and builds brands for businesses across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and beyond.
What I believe
Content with a real person behind it.
Consistent, not chaotic
A plan, a rhythm and reliable delivery, so your feed never goes quiet.
Honest and approachable
Straight answers, no jargon, and someone who actually picks up the phone.
On location
I'll come to you.
Content visits are planned shoots at your workplace, projects, events or customer locations. I capture reels, photos, team features and behind-the-scenes moments, then shape them into posts that keep your channels active and recognisable.
Fancy a coffee and a chat?
Tell me a little about your business and I'll come back with honest ideas for making your socials work harder. No pressure, no jargon.
