Chandott Marketing

Chandott Marketing is a strategic marketing consultancy founded by Hilary James, a seasoned marketing professional with over 25 years' experience in brand, retail, and digital marketing. Based on the Wirral and with a career forged in the heart of Manchester’s fast-paced B2C and D2C sectors, Hilary brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, commercial rigour, and creative flair. Chandott works with a broad spectrum of businesses—from female-led SMEs to larger, more established brands navigating growth, transformation, or digital disruption. Assignments are typically project-based and delivered on a day-rate consultancy basis, either remotely or on-site. While Hilary prioritises businesses in the North West, particularly Greater Manchester's thriving digital ecosystem, she is open to remote collaborations across the UK. With deep expertise in fashion, e-commerce, and omnichannel retail, Hilary has helped businesses of all sizes with everything from brand repositioning to campaign delivery, influencer engagement, content planning, and channel strategy. Her work is pragmatic, performance-led and informed by hands-on experience running her own successful fashion business, Wardrobe at the Cross—where she personally manages multi-platform organic and paid social, customer acquisition and lifetime value optimisation. Known for her forthright style, intelligence, and warmth, Hilary is not just a consultant—she's a partner who delivers value from day one. Currently operating at capacity, but do reach out to enquire about future availability.
