EMILIE LASHMAR

Hi, I'm Emilie, and welcome to my small corner of the internet. I’m an ENFJ personality and entrepreneurial by nature. Born in Versailles, France, I’ve lived in Brighton my entire adult life. It's my chosen home, perfectly located between the South Downs and the sea. I live in this glorious town with my husband, Ashley and daughter, Darcy Joy. Over the past 18 years, I’ve grown a wonderful business and creative community and I love nothing more than working collaboratively with people to help their businesses grow.

I'm passionate about the intersection of business, design, and technology, and how brands, culture, and creativity can communicate. As a founding member of the PLATF9RM team, I led the brand, marketing, and creative development since its inception. I have extensive knowledge and understanding of how to generate and establish communities, as well as how to nurture them. For the last 6 years, I've been immersed in coworking, the future of work, and purpose-led business.

Why work with me?

As a purpose-driven business owner or start-up founder, you know that your time is incredibly valuable. You are constantly being pulled in multiple directions, and while you may have a strong understanding of marketing, you need to focus your efforts on other areas of the business to deliver on your vision.

That's where I come in. I understand the importance of finding someone who can quickly comprehend your brand and target audience, and that's exactly what I can do. With a passion for creativity, I can help you imagine new possibilities for visually presenting your brand, develop innovative business strategies, and inspire your audience to join your mission.

My constant search for new ideas allows me to bring fresh perspectives to the table. I have keen attention to detail, which is essential in ensuring that your unique brand stands out in a crowded market.

I'm also a natural connector and I love nothing more than getting to know people, their skills, and their passions. I'm always looking for opportunities to create collaborations that will help your brand grow.

In short, I’ll be thinking about your brand non-stop.

Let’s get to work!

WHAT THEY SAY

  • Arjo Ghosh | Chair of Trustees, Audio Active

    A brilliant brand marketer. Always on-the-pulse Emilie has great creative instincts, builds very good working relationships and is great to work with. Emilie also gets customer experience and is equally happy designing events, creating multi-channel content and coming-up with new marketing strategies. Emilie is also super tech literate, at home with discussions about code, apps or APIs. In short, she’s great.

  • Rose Radtke | Founder, ETTO

    Emilie is a rare species - a creative powerhouse who has a unique ability to connect up the right people and rally them around her brilliant ideas to get things done. Her energy is infectious, and her experience and connections make her an extremely valuable person in any project or network.

  • Lindsey Pickles | CEO, Bright Dials Marketing

    Emilie is super smart with a creative mind. She was PLATF9RM's number 2 and has created a leading private office and coworking space brand. Not just in Brighton and Hove, but has received national recognition too. Her combination of marketing skills across brand, design, UX and communications is superb - she's also a lovely person to work with too!

  • Al Reid | Executive Coach

    Emilie has played a huge part in building a business of significance and meaning. Aesthetically, creatively and culturally always on point, and helping create an experience and community hugely valued by members and the wider community alike. Often copied, never bettered, Emilie truly helped make hundreds of people's experience of work dramatically better. All delivered with style, class, and an unbelievable level of tenacity and commitment. I've loved working with her and watching her grow. I'm sure she'll smash whatever comes next and will be a huge asset to whoever is lucky enough to work with her.

  • Steve Bustin | Get Your Voice Heard

    As an online event host I've worked with a number of event and technical producers and AV companies over the last few months - and Emilie is definitely one of the best. Calm, organised and focused, she's also great fun to work with, full of great ideas and absolutely dedicated to ensuring an event runs as smoothly as possible to deliver great results for the client. When I know Emilie is in charge of an event I can relax, knowing I'm in safe hands and that she's got my back - so I can deliver at my best. When we're in the thick of a live event I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be working with.

  • Julie Kapsalis | Chair, Coast to Capital LEP

    Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of working with Emilie on several virtual events. What sets her apart from others is her extraordinary attention to detail and the care she takes to ensure speakers and participants are briefed and comfortable with using technology to run interactive online events. Most recently, Emilie supported me in Chairing the Coast to Capital AGM online. She was meticulous in pre-event briefings, schedules and plans alongside dress rehearsals and expert advice on getting the event to look and feel right alongside quality content. Feeling you are in the hands of professionals makes it much easier to deliver at these events - and working with someone who is energetic, knowledgeable and passionate about her work also makes it fun.
