Are you sitting comfortably? Let the storytelling begin.

Bringing you branding, content & digital marketing in Cambridgeshire

I’m Laura Palmer, Creative Director of Palmer Owen. I run the show by myself or in collaboration with other creatives. From branding to content creation, print to digital marketing, SEO to copywriting, social media to websites. Think of me as your brand visibility partner.

I’m a creative and strategic graphic designer who enjoys brand storytelling. So let’s begin with my own story. The person behind Palmer Owen.

I was the arty one in the family. My favourite thing in the world was drawing portraits and my storytelling talent was discovered when I was 8 – with the teacher reading my carefully constructured poem about my bossy arch-enemy out to the class.

A sketchbook would appear, if any of my family sat still longer than 5 minutes. They were fair game as far as I was concerned. A strong creative from the start ..although I once drew my dad with six fingers on the same hand.

I started out designing brochures, packaging and stationery. Then, moved onto websites for BP, Samsung and Bacardi Martini. Within a few years, I became digital design manager in a London design agency, along with freelancing at top ad agencies such as McCann; working on websites, banner ads, SEO and Google Ads. I started Palmer Owen in 2012 and had set out to specialise in digital marketing, but, my clients needed more than that. There was no point creating flawless paid social ads, SEO and email marketing when the logo, print and website didn’t match. The branding and strategy needed to be seamless across the board and my work went full circle.

But why Palmer Owen you ask? Well, “Palmer” is my married name and “Owen” my maiden; amalgamating my work experience from before married life and after. Many of my loyal clients are people that I produced work for, before and after also.

I get to know a business inside out and become the invisible member of your team, in order to develop and elevate your brand. And doing everything I can to make it visible. Part of that is also now providing a blog writing service that connects with the client’s audience, Google and its alter ego AI ..I’ll resist the temptation to write a poem about you, but if you sit still longer than 5 minutes, you might get a portrait.
