Lovely to meet you! I’m Kelsey, a strategist who wants nothing more but to build a community of raving fans for your business. I use community-focused marketing strategies, authentic social media, beautifully designed and functional websites, and data-driven paid advertising, to ensure your business grows as well as my veggie patch does.

Have and Hold Marketing was born from my fascination with consumer behaviour, frustration at the churn and burn model of traditional agencies, and an innate ability to get to know a business (and its owner) inside and out, resulting in marketing strategies that are both profitable and sustainable.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve had seasons as a performing artist, fashion retail manager, Bachelor of Business student, founder of the Tasmanian sustainable maker directory Have and Hold Tasmania, and a marketing consultant in a full-service agency. 

Each of these seasons has taught me that the most important thing when it comes to making a living, is ensuring that the work you’re doing aligns with your values. There are going to be days when you don’t enjoy the work that you do, but if you can design your work to fill your creative cup and make the world a better place, you’ll intuitively know that you’re in the right field. 

This latest season feels like I’m coming home. I get to tell the stories of communities that are doing soul-filling work, help businesses reach heights they never thought possible, and I’m able to give back to the organisations that shaped who I am today.

I can’t wait to have you along for the ride!
