Kirsty Bond

Marketing Director, Business Depot

I have a proven track record as a trusted advisor, with many years as an in-house marketing consultant in large corporates before building an agency from scratch. I know how to take the best of ‘big business’ and implement into small and medium-sized businesses to see them succeed. I have proven expertise and a real passion for creating, building and protecting a brand and reputation for B2B businesses. Equally creative and strategic, I'm a results-oriented marketing professional with hands-on experience in strategy, brand, websites, content, creative and events. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, pilates, camping and renovating vintage caravans with my handy hubby!

Career & Background

What inspired you to do what you are doing now?

I love making an impact by helping brands reach their full marketing potential.

Could you tell us a bit about your professional background and where you are headed in your career right now?

I have many years’ experience in professional services and but love to bring a bit of fun and creativity to otherwise ‘beige’ industries. I’ve been at businessDEPOT for almost five years but am currently focused on building the marketing agency side of the business – which is exciting, especially when juggling the needs of the Group brand and the multiple service lines we look after in-house too!
