S2 Episode 11: With Guest Stacy Oakley of SO Engaged and SO Calligraphy
This week's guest Stacy is a calligrapher and wedding stationer, but in her previous “life” (pre-covid!) she helped run a digital marketing agency in London for 15 years. With a wealth of experience in SEO, Stacy decided to combine her two passions and set up SO Engaged, empowering wedding business owners (mostly women) to take control of their own SEO, and helping them realise that it doesn’t have to be all tech and code.
