The Businesses Behind the Visibility

A closer look at some of the women I've had the privilege of working alongside — and the confidence, brands and businesses that have grown as a result.

Heidi Nichol, Lights On Counselling

Heidi Nichol

Therapist

I met Heidi Nichol at the 'She Network', which is a women's business network based in Wolverhampton. As the honourary male ally in the group, I got to know Heidi over a few network meetings. She approached me to help her elevate her visibility for her new business, 'Lights On Counselling'.

In our discussions, Heidi mentioned that she was very nervous about putting herself out there but she wanted to do it anyway. We discussed her need for a website to showcase her new business and the services she wanted to provide. But we also discussed the importance of creating a brand for her new business, which would create a brand identity that made her business stand out.

We worked together to create a whole new brand identity for her business. This included a new logo, a brand colour palette of colours that Heidi can use to brand all her marketing graphics, and also a new business card with her new branding logo and colours on them too.

I then created her seven-page website for her new therapy business. I used the new branding identity we had created to design her website to give it a really strong feeling of quality and professionalism, but also a safe place to find out information about her therapy services and enquire about more information, or even get in touch to book an initial session with Heidi.

It was a pleasure to walk through this journey with Heidi and to see her come alive when she was talking about her new business, and to see her confidence grow too through the process. I regularly see her posting content about her business and promoting her services, and this is very satisfying as her digital visibility continues to confidently grow month on month.

"From start to finish my experience of working with Simon was great. He was professional but also really approachable and easy to work with. He fully understood the vision that I wanted to create and has taken my vision and turned it into a fabulous website that functions perfectly. Creativity and attention to detail is what makes him stand out, the whole process was smooth and he updated me and supported me through the whole process. I am a technophobe, but Simon explained things in terms I could understand and has been patient with all my questions. I would recommend Simon without hesitation. 5 stars is well deserved."

Bethany Dempsey, author and content creator

Bethany Dempsey

Content Creator

I met Beth through a mutual client we had and we worked together for just under two years. Beth is an author of several books around the topic of neurodiversity, as well as a provider of training to small organisations and large corporate clients, providing neurodiversity awareness training for their employees.

Beth had an existing website with a very dated design and needed something fresh and representative of her new business and brand refresh. We worked together, using her new brand logo and brand colours, to create her a five-page website. We also had discussions about how she could showcase and market her training services.

The website design was colourful, fresh and showcased who Beth is, the purpose of her business, and the services and resources she has available, in a simple and understandable way.

Helping Beth develop her new website and coaching her through the development of her business raised her confidence to elevate her visibility online — confidently, and with the assurance that she had everything she needed to succeed.

"Super shout out to Simon from Alexander Media Creative for my brand spanking new website and business coaching! Si has been working with me to build my confidence around being self employed, how to charge and feeling comfortable in my own skin, along with all the practicalities such as websites, socials & things like expenses and tax! An all round good egg and I would recommend him to anyone. For anyone looking for websites, consulting, photography or videography, Si is your guy."

Clare Roberts-Molloy speaking on stage

Clare Roberts-Molloy

Female Business Coach

I have worked with Clare on several projects over the past three years. I first started working with Clare in September 2023 when I joined her events team for TEDxWolverhampton. I initially became the Social Media Director, working with Clare to create a communication plan and then creating and posting event promotional content. Whilst doing this, I took control of the website too and redesigned it, and took on management of it too. In addition to this, I now produce all the video content on the event days — filming, editing and uploading all the talks, fireside chats and performances from event days to the global TEDx portal that approves the videos and publishes them to the global TEDx YouTube channel.

I have produced three seasons of Clare's 'It's Not Too Late' video and audio podcast. This involves editing the audio of each episode, creating and then adding the video intro to each episode, and an end screen too.

As part of training that Clare provides to GPs in the Black Country region, Clare asked me to collect video testimonies with her from female users of the GP services. The videos captured the overall challenging experiences many female patients face getting the right treatment, being heard and understood.

Clare invited me to capture video for her second International Women's Day event in March 2026. She asked me to capture all the main speaker talks and video clips throughout the day to create a video highlights reel for the event.

"Simon is my go to person for videography and podcast editing. He is professional and reliable and always goes above and beyond to do a great job! I recommend him to everyone and have already booked him to edit upcoming seasons of my podcast and video my upcoming events. I now consider him part of my team!"

Jude Sanders, Canva and social media training client

Jude Sanders

Canva & Social Media Training

I think this review speaks for itself 🙂

"I wanted to understand Canva better and, more importantly, learn how to actually use it confidently for my own business and social media. Simon worked through Canva with me step by step, showing me how to use the different tools and explaining things as we went along, rather than simply demonstrating them and expecting me to remember everything afterwards.

We worked on creating Canva templates that I can reuse for my social media, which will make creating and sharing content much easier for me going forward. Simon showed me how to upload and use my own images within Canva, how to adapt templates to suit my business, and how to create a more consistent look across my posts. We also chose brand colours that I can now use throughout my Canva designs to help give my business a more recognisable and professional identity.

One of the things I particularly appreciated was Simon's teaching style. He worked at a pace that was suitable for me and was incredibly calm and patient. Some of the questions I needed to ask about Canva were really basic, but at no point did he make me feel silly for asking them. I felt completely comfortable stopping him, asking questions and going over something again if I hadn't quite understood it.

Rather than coming away simply knowing what Canva can do, I came away with a much better understanding of how I can use Canva myself. I also have practical templates and branding that I can continue working with, which makes the session feel genuinely useful rather than something I'll forget a few days later.

We also spent some time looking at Meta Business Suite and how I can use it to create and manage my social media posts, which tied everything we'd done in Canva together really nicely.

I would definitely recommend Simon's Canva training, particularly to anyone who finds Canva a little overwhelming or isn't naturally confident with technology. His calm, patient approach made it very easy to learn and ask questions without feeling that I should already know the answers.

Thank you, Simon. I now feel much more confident about opening Canva and actually creating something!"
