SOUND FAMILIAR?

You’re brilliant at design.
Marketing? Let’s not talk about it!

Great work alone doesn’t fill a diary. If any of these ring true, you’re in the right place.

01.

Marketing feels like a second job

You know you should be showing up online, but between site visits, suppliers and client calls, it’s always the first thing to slip.

02.

Feast, then famine

Enquiries arrive in waves. One month you’re turning work away, the next you’re wondering where the next project will come from.

03.

The wrong enquiries

You’re attracting price-shoppers and small jobs, not the considered, well-budgeted projects you do best.

THE METHOD

Grow. Nurture.
Sell.

A simple, repeatable marketing system built around how interior design clients actually buy.

01.

Grow

Get in front of the right people. Build a recognisable presence on Instagram so future clients find you, remember you and follow along.

02.

Nurture

Turn followers into warm leads with content that builds trust long before someone is ready to enquire.

03.

Sell

Convert enquiries into signed projects with a simple two-call process: a discovery call, then your proposal presented live.

Lucy Rees, founder of The Comms Studio
Hello.

I’m Lucy, founder of The Comms Studio. I help interior designers get seen by the right people, and turn that attention into projects they love.

I spent 4 years running a content marketing agency, working with over 50 interior designers, property and service businesses. I’m a former Head of Marketing, and I’ve grown client accounts by 100,000+ followers (one by 400k!).

I’m a realist, not a fantasist, and really no fluff. I’ll hold you accountable, but I’ll never push you to build a business you hate or post content you’re not comfortable with.

CLIENT STORIES

Real clients.
Real results.

Hayley Fellows-Prior, Atelier 44

FEATURED CLIENT STORY

“I’ve gone from worrying about where the next project would come from to being consistently booked ahead.”

“When we first started, I didn’t really have a consistent client pipeline or a clear strategy for where the next job was coming from. Now social media actually brings me work. I’ve continuously booked projects off the back of my social media marketing, enquiries have increased significantly and my following has grown considerably too.

I’ve increased my prices, simplified my services and had my biggest-ever quote accepted. I also found [Lucy’s] direct approach really refreshing. There wasn’t loads of fluff, and if something wasn’t working, she’d tell me.”

“I wouldn’t be at the point I am now with enquiries and bookings without having worked with Lucy.”

“As quite a marketing novice, it was really valuable in building my brand and my positioning. Before, everything came through my existing network. Now I’m getting regular enquiries coming straight from my website or via social media. Having Lucy on board felt like there was someone in my corner who really wants me to succeed.”

Rosy SturtStudio Sturt, West Sussex

“I’ve literally had people approach me in cafés saying, ‘I love your content.’”

“Lucy is honest, but in a constructive way. She’s not going to just say something because somebody wants to hear it. If you want to grow, get better and challenge yourself, she is the right person for you. That’s why you need to hire Lucy.”

FAQS

Your questions,
answered.

Do I need a big Instagram following to join?

Not at all. The programme is about attracting the right people, not the most people. Plenty of designers start with a small, quiet account.

How much time will it take each week?

At least 5–10 hours a week outside our calls. I don’t believe in huge “hustle”, but the work does need doing to get results.

I’m not comfortable on camera. Is that a problem?

It’s not essential, but I won’t pull the wool over your eyes: it’s much easier to grow if you’re on camera. There are still ways to build a successful Instagram without it, it just takes longer to find a content style that works.

What if I don’t have any completed projects yet?

Totally normal. I’ll show you how to talk about results before you have dozens of case studies, because homeowners don’t buy based on how many projects you’ve posted. They buy when they feel confident you understand their problem.

Is it only for UK designers?

No. Coaching calls take place online, so you can join from anywhere.

What do I need to get the most out of it?

A clear goal for your studio and a willingness to put the work in. Coaching works when you implement it, and I’ll be honest with you about what is and isn’t working along the way.

What happens after the six months?

You’ll leave with a marketing system you can run on your own. If you’d like ongoing support, there’s an optional Aftercare plan for past clients.
