Our philosophy

Most marketers haven't run a business. Most operators haven't led marketing. We've done both.

Tartan exists because most marketing advice comes from people who have only ever been on one side of the business.

We've worked as a COO, running the operational side of a tourism business, and as Head of Global Marketing, shaping how that business told its story. That crossover is what Tartan is built on.

About Tartan

Operator. Marketer.
Translator.

Our background spans COO roles in tourism and Head of Global Marketing across multiple brands. That lived experience on both sides of the table is what makes Tartan different.

When we build a strategy or facilitate a workshop, we already understand what it's like to sit in your chair.
