Samantha Blanchard, the founder of montyblue has worked in high profile positions within marketing, business development, fundraising and general management.

Starting her career in the music and film packaging industry she was Account Director for the Universal Picture International account, running a team of 25 people and traveling around the world.

While having her second child in 2006 Samantha studied for a Masters in Business at Kent Business School and decided to give up the travel, commute and the airmiles to work locally!

Following 2 years as Head of Marketing at Kent Business School she worked for 3 years at Benenden School, initially as Executive Assistant to the Deputy Head and then as Development Executive before leaving to realise her vision of montyblue.

“I feel that someone with my experience would be invaluable to people and businesses. I’ve worked within many small businesses and large organisations but always in a small team… I have learned to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in!”

“I have the ability, knowledge and experience to analyse a company, to advise on areas to improve and write a business plan, create, manage and extend a brand, design processes and implement systems and have an eye to detail on policies and contracts. I love working with small companies to support the owner and management, and see the results this brings”
