- Why Yawn?
We believe that good marketing is like a yawn. It gets to you and goes around the room.
our story
Based in the fine city of Norwich, Yawn works with a wide variety of clients across the UK.
We’ve helped 100 year old authorities to reexamine their strategic communications. We’ve launched startups and products and disrupted industries. We’ve guided forward-thinking SMEs as they discover new audiences and refresh their proposition. And we’ve taught not-for-profits to think digitally – and differently – for the first time.
Meet our team
Yawn Marketing is a close-knit team of eleven, if you include the dog (which we do).
Sam Edwards
Sam Edwards has a wealth of experience devising strategy and managing marketing campaigns across industries, with a particular focus on standout, creative campaigning. He has his heart screwed on and his head in the right place.
Beyond Yawn, Sam works with The Feed social enterprise as a Non-Executive Director, working to prevent poverty, hunger and homelessness in Norwich.
Grace Appleby
Grace Appleby oversees all of Yawn's precious relationships with clients, friends, partners and suppliers, and enjoys nothing more than meeting new people.
When not at work, Grace is typically busy on a badminton court or enjoying a networking event.
Jess Ford
Jess brings over 16 years of client-side and agency marketing experience to the team, with much of this time spent in the food and beverage industry across both B2C and B2B spaces.
In her spare time, Jess is a bit of an old movie buff and, thanks to her six-year-old, can talk at surprising length about dinosaurs.
Rachael Sunter
Rachael’s strengths lie in website optimisation, copywriting and content creation. Her pragmatic approach and keen eye for detail help deliver successful campaign strategies.
Short on spare time as a busy mum of two, Rachael has her hands full outside of work. She’s easily won over with a dad joke or a slice of cake.
Beth Crisp
Beth, one of our Account Managers, is a photography graduate who’s an absolute whizz at campaign planning, CRM & marketing automations. Beth has five years of digital marketing experience in-house and in agency under her belt.
Out of the office, Beth splits her time between fitness, food, and fabulous art exhibitions.
Chantele Fletcher
Chantele has over 7 years of experience in marketing and client services, working in a range of industries and sectors.
Out of the office, she can be found exploring new places with her dog, reading a good book, or eating great food with family and friends!
Jade Squires
Jade brings her strong knowledge, and experience of digital marketing but her interests and specialities lie within social media and all things creative following a past of education in Fine Art.
Outside of work she enjoys meeting with friends, petting dogs, collecting crystals, freelancing as an artist and playing drums in a touring band.
Verónica Pinzon Santana
CRM specialist and graphic design extraordinaire, Veronica is passionate about creative and innovating campaigns.
Veronica's favourite things are art, books and dogs. When she's not at work you'll likely find her reading a book, illustrating or going for a walk in her nearest dog friendly park (but this is really just an excuse to play with dogs).
Naomi Chapman
Naomi, aka Nai, has over five years experience in traditional and digital marketing as well as design, working over a range of different channels and campaigns.
Outside of work, she can be found playing her favourite video games, in the theatre, hanging out with friends and eating good food!
Rob Lewis
Rob is an experienced paid media expert, with over 12-years full-time Paid Search, Paid Social & Programmatic experience.
During his career he has worked closely planning and managing campaigns for a number of prominent brands and key departments. Outside of work, when not parenting his two kids, he is also a keen cook and enjoys practicing piano (terribly).
Lauren Baxter
Lauren brings a range of agency experience, specialising in the charity sector and working with creatives. She heads up the marketing for Yawn and works with the team to develop the Yawn brand!
With a love of books, food and good coffee, Lauren spends her weekends discovering new independent cafes around Norwich.
Gusta
Gusta is an all-rounder with good pedigree and great legs. Although her marketing knowledge is limited and her recall needs a bit of work, she’s just about the perfect office dog.
