About Me
My name is Sonja. I am a Hampshire based mum of three adult children, navigating the joys and challenges of life. I love travelling, and have a new found love of camping!
I am an experienced Marketing Professional and Social Media Manager with a diverse background in both large and small businesses. My journey has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and skills that I am excited to bring to a wider range of clients as I embark on my own entrepreneurial venture.

Throughout my career, I have embraced various Sales and joint Sales and Marketing roles, honing my ability to bridge the gap between swift sales needs and marketing responses. In large organisations, I’ve witnessed how frustrating delays can be for sales teams seeking timely support. My goal is always to alleviate that frustration.
Additionally, I've successfully run two businesses —one abroad and another while raising children. My diverse experience spans hospitality, the wedding industry, property management, theatre and television lighting and marketing for a US fault-tolerant server company serving critical applications for hospitals, international banks, stock exchanges, etc. My diverse background empowers me to connect with various customers, offering unique perspectives that enrich business insights and foster innovative solutions tailored to their needs.
SHI_ne Social Media Marketing is the business I have set up with the mission to support small and independent businesses in harnessing the power of social media marketing. I believe in the transformative potential of strategic online presence and am passionate about helping businesses grow and thrive in the digital landscape.
