Hi, I’m Ghislane, the face behind Hames Digital Marketing.

Like many of my clients, I know exactly what it’s like to juggle all the things in business. For over 18 years, my husband and I have run a successful locksmith company, where I handled the marketing, branding, and customer communication.

So when small business owners tell me they’re overwhelmed by social media, unsure what to post, or squeezing content creation in late at night…

Trust me — I get it.

Why I Started Hames Digital Marketing

After years of managing marketing within our own business, I realised I had built a skillset that other small businesses genuinely needed.

To strengthen that experience with formal strategy and knowledge, I completed my Level 6 qualification in Digital Marketing with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).

And as scary as it felt…

I took the leap and started Hames Digital Marketing.

Because I’d seen firsthand how powerful visibility, consistency, and clear messaging can be for a small business.

What I Do

I help sole traders and small businesses stay visible, consistent, and confident online, without the stress of doing it all themselves.

Whether that’s:

✨ Done-for-you social media

✨ A clarity-focused audit

✨ 1–1 training & guidance

✨ Content Photography

🤝 My Approach

Just honest strategy, relatable content, and practical support that works around real life and real businesses.

Because small businesses don’t need to act like big brands, they need to sound human, build trust, and stay consistent.
