About

I’m Jane Bentley, a senior marketing and communications consultant with 16+ years’ experience across financial services, EdTech, and consumer brands, including retail. I help organisations grow customer acquisition, engagement, and retention using data-led, multi-channel marketing strategies.

I’ve led EMEA marketing and internationalisation work, built lifecycle and customer journey improvements, and driven digital transformation through measurable outcomes like Salesforce pipeline growth and large-scale app adoption.

Alongside retained advisory work, I’ve also managed multi-channel campaigns (digital, CRM, content, and ATL/BTL), partnered with legal and compliance stakeholders for FCA-compliant communications, and led teams and agencies within budgets of £2m+.
