—I’m Johanna Courtney, The Digital CMO

I help founders and small teams work out what to say, where to say it, and how to turn attention into real enquiries. No fluff. No faff. Just useful work that gets results.

I’m an active member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and I care about strategy that serves real people. I’m level-headed, proactive and calm under pressure, with a knack for shaping messages that change minds.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve helped clients across B2B, B2C and B2B2C build and launch brands, products and campaigns. From tech start-ups and scale-ups to local businesses and established names.

I bring senior marketing thinking without being afraid to get hands-on. That means defining audiences and positioning, building go-to-market plans, shaping social strategy, pitching to VCs, writing the copy and seeing the day-to-day through.

Running has shaped how I work. I’ve completed eight marathons, which means early alarms, long miles and showing up when it’s hard. I bring the same grit to client work: set a target, make a plan, keep the pace, finish strong.

Based in the UK. Coffee before dawn runs. Always cheering for the underdog. I work best with brands and people I believe in. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
