Who we work with
We work with ethical business owners who care
We created BigFizz to help socially conscious, eco-minded solopreneurs and small business owners get the best foundation for marketing their business. We specially want to work with people who want to make a difference, with a message that must be heard.
We understand how it can be confusing, challenging and daunting to work with different specialists who tell you conflicting stories about building your brand. In the end, being confused could stop you getting started. And our aim is to keep things clear and simple.
This is why we created BigFizz 10 years ago
Our collaboration brings together Big Idea (Lynne) and HubFizz (Karen) and is designed to give you a cohesive approach to getting your branding, messaging and website sorted, with ease and joy.
We want you to have a brand you feel proud of so you can get your message out to your audience and elevate your business.
And we want to provide you with insights, aha moments, clarity and growing confidence throughout the process of working with us.
About us
We’re committed to reducing our own impact on the planet and working with people who are determined to make a difference, however big or small. We do our bit by supporting community and conservation projects and shopping local.

My special skills include getting to the heart and soul of your brand, identifying what your brand stands for, and clarifying your core brand messaging in human terms.
