Hannah Lewis: A Self-Taught Marketing Superstar

Hannah Lewis’ remarkable efforts to elevate Realise HR’s brand and presence as its marketing manager have earned her the prestigious Best Marketeer Award this year at the Newsquest in-Cumbria business awards, held at Dalston Hall, near Carlisle on November 29.

In 2022, under the leadership of Martin Norris and Claire McLean, Realise HR recognized the necessity for a dedicated marketing specialist to enhance their market strategy and growth. Hannah, a self-taught marketing professional with extensive experience across various industries, joined the team and made an immediate impact by developing their first comprehensive marketing strategy.

“Entering the in-Cumbria awards offers a valuable opportunity to showcase the hard work and accomplishments our business has achieved,” says Hannah. “Being part of the awards is also a chance to celebrate our county’s incredible businesses and individuals.”

Hannah's expertise spans SEO, content marketing, lead generation, social media, and web management. She is acclaimed for her ability to anticipate market trends, create structured marketing plans, and deliver results with integrity and passion. Her efforts have led to significant growth, including:

• A 50% increase in inbound enquiries
• A tripling of website visitors
• Over three million social media impressions

“From starting out at 24 and being pretty much self-taught, this recognition really means the world,” says Hannah. “It highlights the hard work and dedication I’ve put into being a marketeer and will hopefully encourage others that are interested in marketing to take the leap.”
