Meet your facilitator

Hi I’m Edwina
I’ve spent over 20 years helping businesses grow in Marketing Agencies across Sydney & London, but the work that truly lights me up is helping small business owners right here in Sydney. I want to use that “Big Brand” expertise to make a real difference for the small businesses that keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods vibrant.

I started The Small Business Collective because I know how powerful good marketing can be…

…and I want to make it simple, practical, and doable for everyone. These workshops are my way of sharing what I’ve learned, cutting through the noise, and helping you feel more confident about growing your business.
