Harriette Foulkes-Arnold
I’ve specialised in content for over 15 years, previously running a large copywriting agency and as a Client Services Director for an international PR agency in Nairobi for 18 months.
Nine months after having twins and with a four year old, I decided to set up The Contented Agency as I felt there weren’t any options for pursuing my work and looking after my three young daughters. I really believe that it’s possible to embrace a positive work-life mix, whether you happen to be a parent or not.
In today’s world of 24/7 access to information, what if your best working hours are 9pm-5am or Mondays and Thursdays or a combination. Being Contented is about challenging the traditional 9-5. It’s about giving the best and demanding the best from our team in the best way for each person’. I absolutely love it when I’ve won a new client, dashed some emails off, planned a website rewrite and all in time to meet my daughter at the school gates. I want my daughters to grow up realising that being a mummy and working in business go hand in hand. At least that it’s an option if they want that. That’s what Contented is all about. Whether you happen to be a parent, are caring for someone or want to learn a new skill. You can work and do other things and you’re not compromising on quality. Our clients get the very best teams because we have the freedom to pursue the other things in our life that also really matter.
