Hi, I’m Emilie Lashmar—a Brand Partner and Creative Strategist who builds brands, communities, and places people actually want to be.
Born in Versailles, Brightonian by soul, now living further along the coast, I’ve spent over two decades helping businesses grow, bringing people together, and turning big ideas into living, breathing movements. Work has never been “just work” for me—it’s always been about creating something that matters. And I bring that energy into everything I do.
From 2016, I led the brand, marketing, and creative direction at PLATF9RM since day one—helping shape one of the UK’s most iconic community-first coworking brands. Since 2023, I’ve been Director & Producer of GCUC UK, the world’s largest coworking conference series—connecting industry leaders and shaping the future of work. Now, I’m leaning deeper into placemaking and regeneration—collaborating with developers, founders and councils to build spaces and stories that spark real connection.
When we work together, I don’t just ‘do marketing’.
I help you build something people feel—a brand with a backbone, a space with soul, a community with staying power.
Marketing isn’t about selling.
It’s about building something people want to be part of.
Whether you’re launching a coworking space, developing a neighbourhood, or growing a purpose-led brand, I help you turn vision into reality—with clarity, strategy, and creativity that actually gets results.
I know how to find your audience—and how to make them care.
I know what makes a place thrive, and how to turn your brand from “just another business” into a scene, a story, a movement. And I don’t just come up with ideas—I make them happen.
I’m a super-connector. I open doors, build bridges, and bring the right people to the table. I’ll challenge you where it counts, champion you when it matters, and make sure your brand stands out—for the right reasons.
Because when we work together, I don’t just advise.
I partner. I invest. I give a damn.
And I’ll help you build something that lasts.
