"Claire has been an amazing support, you can tell she has been through all the same struggles starting up and expanding businesses, so she can relate exactly to where we are at and offer really helpful advice and strategies to simplify the most overwhelming tasks. It's just nice to feel connected to a community of like minded brands who are all striving to make the world that little bit better! Her strategy calls have been amazing with super helpful tips and strategies that are tailored to sustainable fashion businesses and are broken down into bitesize pieces that even I can digest and implement with my full schedule! Thank-you Claire, keep up the amazing work!"

"I first stumbled upon The Fashion Advocate's Instagram profile when I was knee-deep in the planning and branding stages of my sustainable clothing brand. Claire's posts and stories were packed with such valuable insights, yet they had a fun and relaxed vibe to them, which I appreciated. It was this approachability that got my attention. So I DM'd her with a couple of burning questions about the fashion industry, and she responded in such a friendly manner with a generous amount of information. I was beyond impressed! From the very start, Claire's friendliness and creativity shone through. She listened intently and offered some great ideas and next steps for me. I signed up for monthly mentoring sessions and fast forward to this week, and we've just wrapped up our last session. I can't even begin to express how much I've learned during our time together. Claire guided me through costing, budgeting, pre-launch and launch activities, and post-launch marketing strategies. Each session was presented with clarity, leaving room for questions and discussions. Her follow-up emails always included actionable steps for the month ahead. And if I ever had additional questions or needed support between sessions, she was there for me! Now, I'm feeling more confident in the industry and I have a lovely and experienced mentor to turn to when I need further support. Working with The Fashion Advocate has been a very positive journey, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Claire's mentoring to anyone looking to navigate the sustainable fashion world."

"Claire has been an incredible asset to Wittner’s content strategy over the past year. We initially reached out for help with our ‘Support Local’ campaign that showcased small business through the COVID-19 pandemic but since then we have maintained our relationship with Claire and The Fashion Advocate to create lifestyle UGC – which has helped us grow a unique and diverse content library that has seen positive engagement across email, web and social. Claire is very good at what she does!"

"Claire has been integral to my brand growth. I follow a lot of business coaches and consultants but none resonate with my values the way Claire does. She knows the sustainable fashion industry inside and out and she knows how to grow a successful brand in really creative ways. I was sick of everyone telling me the only way to grow was Facebook ads but Claire showed me so many alternative and free growth strategies that actually worked. Her ideas are always right on point and her strategies work for us every time. Working with Claire has built our brand up and really streamlined the way we do things to make every day operations so much easier. Our sustainable fashion community is lucky to have such a smart business strategist on its side."

"Meeting with Claire is like a breath of business fresh air. She is always positive, extremely knowledgable and makes the learning process around business management a very easy one. I came to Claire 'stuck' and could not work out which path to follow to get me out of my business 'stuckness'. Claire offered a huge amount of helpful guidance to help devise a plan, which has now given me an actionable path to follow, to get me moving in the right direction. I now feel confident in what I need to do, to get the results I am after. Claire gave me bite-sized actionable tasks that are achievable. Before our call, I was feeling paralysed by everything I needed to do and not knowing where to start but my session with Claire was perfect in clearing my mental block."

"I've worked with Claire through private one-on-one mentoring and her friendly and open nature immediately put me at ease, and it was such a pleasure working with her. I knew next to nothing about social media for business and by the end of my sessions, I was inspired and confident enough to know that I could make it work. Claire has a wealth of knowledge behind her and it has not been gained through second-hand information; she has had years of hands-on, personal experience, from which she has tenaciously worked out what works and what doesn't. She is enormously generous with her time and information and she really does care about the success of her clients. More than anything, it is Claire's inherent nature and her energy and passion that makes her such a standout figure in the ethical fashion world. She is a positive and inspiring voice which is so needed in today's world."
