Camilla Upson, Founder of Francis Floyd
I founded Francis Floyd in January 2024 in response to meeting small business owners who wanted help with their marketing.
Since graduating with a degree in Marketing and Management from the University of Manchester; I have worked in marketing and communications roles for the last 15 years, giving me a deep understanding of marketing strategy, creative marketing and marketing technologies.
I’ve worked at a number of award-winning digital agencies (TMW, Saatchi & Saatchi and Made by Many), as well as in client-side roles (at the influential non-profit Forward Institute), and co-founded a jewellery business (NUE Hoops; which I grew organically with annual turnover of £400k+ in less than 2 years).
From these experiences, I have gained a unique perspective, understanding the typical challenges faced in a variety of marketing roles and different types of business.
Having worked in agencies delivering services including: digital innovation, marketing strategy, creative content production, multi-channel campaigns and website and app design and development; this has been matched by commissioning and implementing in client-side roles. As a result, I am both a strategy and implementation marketer, specialising in digital marketing.
Since returning from Maternity Leave I started building Francis Floyd Consultancy in early 2024, offering a variety of services based on my experience to date.
