The wealth of experience at PP8 Marketing in the Home, Garden and Sustainability sectors has bloomed with the addition of Carrie Burgess. Carrie joins as Marketing Coordinator to support client delivery and account management as PP8 Marketing continues to grow.

Like founder Paula Parker, Carrie has worked throughout the gardening sector in various roles and brings with her experience as a buyer, as well as from account management and marketing. She has worked across both sides of the fence, as retailer and supplier, so clients will benefit from her all-round experience.

Carrie initially started working in the sector as a buyer for Crocus across all non-plant categories - anything from fertilisers to garden furniture! She also launched the Waitrose Garden website during this time, responsible for managing email campaigns, online merchandising and promotion of the Waitrose branded range of garden products.  

Working for Hygeia Garden Care, Carrie was responsible for building their presence in the UK across various trade/supplier shows as well as driving their UK social media accounts.

Tom Stolworthy, former UK Country Manager for Hygeia, has experience of working with both Paula and Carrie, and said:

"Super easy from start to finish, Paula and PP8 Marketing were influential to how our products were received by the end user and to the trade through professional video and voice overs. Working in line with our corporate strategy and budget we were able to achieve what we set out to within a very tight deadline.

Carrie will be a strong addition to the PP8 team bringing a wealth of knowledge from her previous roles. Carrie is conscientious, diligent, and has the foresight to understand a businesses longer term as well as short term goals.”
