The Seaflowers Collective
We’ve found your story. Now let’s bring it to life.
Once you know what makes your business different and have a clear story to tell, you need to bring it to life. The Seaflowers Collective brings together trusted creative specialists in brand, photography, design and content creation to help business owners turn their story into a distinctive brand that people recognise, connect with and remember.
You may work with one of us, two of us or all three. Either way, everything starts from the same understanding of your business, so your words, visuals and creative work feel connected and work together.
What is the Collective?
The Seaflowers Collective is a trusted group of independent specialists who know each other, trust each other and work well together. I bring in the right expertise for your project, so you get the creative support you need without having to find, brief and manage multiple suppliers.
What’s the benefit?
One story, brought to life consistently: We make sure your positioning, brand, photography and content all tell the same story.
Specialist expertise: We each have decades of experience and a proven track record.
Creative work with a purpose: Every creative decision helps you communicate more clearly and grow your business.
Joined-up thinking: Because we know and trust each other, we collaborate properly rather than simply passing work from one supplier to another.
Built around your business: Some businesses need clarity. Some need a new brand. Some need photography. Some need it all. We flex around what your business actually needs.
How does it work?
Start with your story: We start by understanding what makes your business different, who you want to reach and what you want them to think, feel and do. This becomes the foundation for everything else.
Identify what you need: You don’t need to invest in everything. I’ll work out where the biggest opportunity lies and bring in the right specialists for what your business actually needs.
Bring it to life: Each specialist brings their expertise while working from the same strategic foundation.
Make it work together: We stay closely connected throughout the project, so you get a cohesive brand and communications that work together wherever your customers encounter your business.
Meet the Collective
Who you work with will depend on what your business actually needs. There’s no expectation that you’ll work with all of us. We bring in the right people at the right time to build your brand.

See the Collective in action
You might work with one of us, two of us or all three, depending on what your business needs. Here are a few examples of how we’ve worked together. Explore each project to see how different skills and perspectives come together to bring each story to life.
Tasha Kalisher
Suzy worked with Tasha Kalisher, a shiatsu practitioner, Qigong teacher and sauna ritual practitioner in South Devon, to uncover and articulate the story at the heart of her business. She developed the positioning, messaging and strategy, then brought Sue into the project to create the photography. Suzy then brought the story, words and imagery together through the website, creating a clear and distinctive digital presence for Tasha’s work.

Seaflowers
Suzy brought the Collective into her own business, Seaflowers, a waterside holiday home and retreat venue in South Devon. She developed the story and strategy. Sue created the photography that brings the property, its setting and the Seaflowers experience to life, while Tash led the creative direction across the website and promotional materials. Suzy then used the new story, brand and photography to pitch Seaflowers and her own expertise, securing national and regional media coverage and raising the profile of the business.

Sue Porter Photography
Suzy worked with Sue to define the story, positioning and strategy for her photography business, then brought Tash in to bring that thinking to life through the brand and website. Together, Suzy and Tash created a clearer and more distinctive expression of Sue’s work, giving her a stronger platform to communicate what makes her photography different and attract the right clients.
