Hey,
I’m Mel Jenkinson
I’m a brand and marketing strategist for beauty and wellness founders who want to do things differently.
You don’t need another “how-to” guide telling you to post more Reels or copy what the big players are doing. You need a brand that stands out — distinctive, bold, unapologetic — in an industry that’s too often full of sameness.

helping founders build bold brands
Too many brands in the beauty and wellness space look and sound the same. They’re chasing trends instead of leading them. They’ve got great products but no real story, no strategy, and no edge. And in a crowded market, that’s the fastest way to get lost in the noise.
My experience
With over 10 years in the beauty industry, I’ve been on both sides: founder and strategist. I built, scaled, and sold my own multi–six-figure e-commerce beauty business, learning firsthand what works (and what really doesn’t). Since then, I’ve helped founders — from start-ups to established brands — cut through the noise, sharpen their strategy, and grow with confidence.
My Approach
-
A successful beauty brand isn’t built on a great product alone. It’s built on a clear concept that makes you stand out in a crowded market.
I help you define what your brand really offers — beyond product features — so your audience understands why they should choose you. That means digging into competitor analysis, target market research, and mapping out your mission, vision, and values. With this clarity, you can position your brand competitively and confidently.
I draw on over 10 years in the beauty and wellness industry — plus a curiosity for the world and a fascination with human behaviour — to uncover the white space where your brand can stand out.
-
The most successful brands don’t just sell products — they create an emotional connection. When your audience feels something, they remember you, trust you, and choose you.
I help founders humanise their brand by shaping the brand personality: voice, characteristics, and aspirations that make it relatable and unique. This is where your brand stops being just another option on the shelf and starts becoming something people genuinely connect with and love.
-
I help founders translate strategy into action — from marketing plans and content strategy to digital campaigns and customer experience. The goal isn’t vanity metrics or short-term wins. It’s building a brand that grows sustainably, creates loyal customers, and scales with confidence.
From advisory sessions to fractional CMO support and mentoring, I guide founders through their next level of growth.
