A social media coach, Ads expert and founder of Studio 5 Social based in Guildford, Surrey. I support many brilliant individuals and small businesses through coaching, consultancy and workshops.

I’m an Instagram specialist based in Guildford, Surrey and I am passionate about helping business owners like you get the most out of Instagram.

I run engaging Instagram workshops and offer personalised individual training sessions to help you use Instagram clearly and confidently for your business.

Whilst I have always had social bones I haven’t always been the fan of using social media that I am today.

Realising I was late to the party but sensing the power of social media when used effectively and managed well I insta(ntly!) saw the huge impact it can have in driving sales and growing a brand.

I also know how overwhelming it can be - which is the best platform to use? how can I make that platform work for me? what is the best strategy for my business? how often do I need to be posting'? I've been there and felt it all! This is why I am so passionate about helping other business owners 'get' social and unlock the value from being a powerful social brand.

Since launching Studio 5 Social I have had the opportunity to support many brilliant individuals and small businesses through coaching, consultancy and workshops. This has allowed them to go on and build engaging social media profiles and consistently exceed their digital marketing goals.

    Claire has great energy and knows her stuff! I learnt so much on her Instagram course - including functionality aspects of the platform, content ideas, marketing strategies and more. Great to bounce ideas off other group attendees too. Thank you. Sarah

    Claire has an incredible warm energy, which combined with her ability to teach a complicated tech tool, makes her my go-to for all things Instagram. She really understands all the small business mindset baggage that comes with putting yourself out there and being more visible. If you have the chance to get onto one of Claire's popular workshops or training days then definitely do it.. she lightens the load and makes everything 'do-able'

    Claire’s Reel workshop is an absolute time saver for my Back on Track business. I thought I was quite good with social media but actually wasted so much time on reels and story's. Knowing now what Claire has taught me in 1 session, it takes me literally a couple of minutes to do effective reels and story’s that keep my Instagram lively and relevant.

    Claire's 'Power Hour' was absolutely brilliant. It was totally tailored to my needs and to my existing knowledge of Instagram. It gave me more confidence to go away and look again at my profile, my forward planning and a lot more. And all delivered with a lot of fun too!

    Claire is fabulous. After our session together I felt like I had some clear goals, & actions to work towards them. Claire delves down into the nitty gritty of how to harness engagement from hooks and calls to action but she also helped me see my content through the eyes of my consumer and not to feel like I need to give away all my knowledge in order to give value. Thank you Claire!

    Having attended a few of Claire's online courses, we engaged her for a 'Power Hour' to chat through some ideas for our own social media. To just sit and brainstorm for an hour was so valuable to us and has not only affirmed our social media direction but also brought some new ideas we can't wait to share!

    Claire is just fantastic!! She makes Instagram so easy to use in a fun and professional way. She was so approachable and willing to help with anything I asked her. I find Instagram so overwhelming, yet she made it seem so simple. I also love her workshops as it's a great way to keep up to date with all the latest Insta trends and meet other professionals in the same boat. I would highly recommend working with Claire.

    What an incredible morning! Claire’s workshop was utterly invaluable! She has taught me so much and more importantly, given me the confidence and knowledge to feel like I can do this! She is incredibly motivating and answers all questions, no matter how daft, in a wonderfully informal yet informative manner. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their Instagram in all its forms.

    I had a power hour with Claire and I spent the last 5 minutes wishing it were a power 2 hours! She is a wealth of knowledge in this field… insightful, creative and thoughtful. She also got me excited to get back on the gram and push my business forward! Thank you Claire

  • A woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, wearing a pink top with buttons, smiling against a dark blue circular background.

    Claire's Reels Workshop is something I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about this side of Instagram. It is such a practical session, with lots of opportunities to ask questions and practice the different techniques, and Claire definitely takes the fear out of it. She has so much knowledge but shares it in a fun, supportive way—highly recommend.

    I met Claire earlier at an inspiring presentation she made around artists and social media. I booked a series of one to one sessions, enabling me to feel benefit from Claire's expertise and ideas of not only how to grow a social media following, but how to sell on line and develop a brand awareness. I have loved these sessions with Claire, not only in terms of expertise, but her friendly, pragmatic approach, her boundless energy and ideas to make social media a fun and enjoyable part of my business. I cannot recommend Claire enough!
