Fuel Your Digital Growth with Krest

Independent digital strategist helping growth-ready brands scale through smart ads, social strategy and stronger customer journeys.

 

Hi, I’m Katie!

I’m a independent strategic digital partner for growth-ready brands, that are tired of doing more without seeing more.

If your marketing feels busy but not intentional…
If you’re posting, spending and launching without clear data…
If you’re ready to invest properly but want to do it right

That’s where I come in.

I don’t just “manage socials” or “set up ads”. I work with you to develop the right growth systems for your business, by connecting organic social, Google & Meta advertising, web experience, SEO and conversion strategy so everything works together.

Where does Krest come from?

/krɛst/ ~ noun ~ pronounced like the ‘crest’ of a wave.

I love the sea. I own a surfboard. I take it out approximately three times a year and stick strictly to baby waves. So, you could say my surfing career is a work in progress.

But here’s what surfing teaches you very quickly:

You don’t paddle for every wave; if you chase everything, you burn out. If you panic-paddle, you wipe out. If you move too late, you miss the wave completely.

The surfers who actually make it look effortless? They wait. They watch. They read the conditions. Then they commit when everything aligns.

That’s how you catch the waves that actually carry you.

Marketing works exactly the same way.

Good marketing isn’t louder. It’s smarter. It’s knowing which wave to catch for your brand, when to paddle and how to ride it properly once you’ve committed.

Growth shouldn’t be guesswork. It should be timed, structured and intentional.

That’s what Krest represents: Not chasing every wave, but committing to the right one and building momentum that actually lasts.

Project 01

Brush & Bubbles

Introduction

Brush & Bubbles is a vibrant paint-and-sip experience in Covent Garden, looking to optimise its e-commerce ticket sales and improve digital marketing performance. Since January, I have worked closely with the team to refine their strategy, enhance their paid social media efforts, and improve website conversion rates.

My Role

I focused on optimising the e-commerce funnel, improving the website’s conversion rate, and refining paid social ad creatives to increase bookings. I also implemented a TikTok content strategy to boost brand awareness, leveraging trending formats and strategic targeting to maximise reach and engagement among new audiences.

Results

TikTok videos have seen a 316% increase in video views, a 999% jump in non-follower reach, and a 122% increase in website visits. These efforts, combined with broader marketing optimisations, led to a 104% year-on-year increase in sales for January and a 123% rise in conversion rate, with key landing page sessions up by 30%.

Project 02

GG's Gelato

Introduction

GG’s Gelato is a premium ice cream brand based in Gower, preparing for a big summer push in 2025. I was brought in to support the in-house team with a refreshed marketing strategy, social-first content creation, and streamlined marketing processes to position the brand for summer success.

My Role

I worked closely with the internal team to plan and execute their summer campaign, focusing on strategy development, content planning, and social-first filming to capture authentic, engaging visuals. I also helped build clearer internal workflows to support consistent content creation and better align marketing efforts with the brand’s goals.

Results

In the first month of our work together, profile views across Instagram and TikTok rose by 400%, reached audience increased by over 900%, and new followers jumped by 178%. The content-first approach has laid the groundwork for strong engagement heading into peak season, while internal processes are now set up for sustainable growth.

Project 03

Picnic & Pop

Introduction

Picnic and Pop is a vibrant family-friendly festival in Aldershot, Hampshire. I was brought on to improve their paid social media performance and optimise their social channels to better convert visitors into ticket buyers ahead of their upcoming event.

My Role

I focused on creating engaging, high-converting video content and restructuring the ad set strategy to improve performance on a minimal budget. This included refining audience targeting, refreshing creatives, and streamlining campaign objectives to drive more meaningful action and better ROI from every ad spend.

Results

With strategic improvements to both creative and targeting, the campaign generated a return on ad spend (ROAS) of 2700%. Meaning for every £1 spent we generated £27. Despite a modest budget, we achieved significant results by focusing on sharper creatives and more effective audience segmentation, driving stronger engagement and conversion rates across their social channels.
