“Natasha is the reason I discovered my passion and talent in marketing. I was a young and keen receptionist when our paths crossed; I worked on the accommodation social media channels and Natasha carved out a path I could follow. She taught me the basics, planted seeds of inspiration and nurtured my curiosity. She empowered me to find my social media style and showed me how to maximise content.”
