Virtual assistance for the ocean world and beyond

Hi there, I’m Charlotte.

I’m a location-independent virtual assistant supporting ocean storytellers, conservationists, ethical businesses and people whose work is making a difference.

I’ve been diving in some of the most extraordinary places on the planet, like the Galápagos, the Philippines, the Azores and Mexico, and the ocean is usually where my head is when I’m not working. Which means that if that’s your world, too, you probably won’t have to explain much to me.

From managing your website and marketing communications to research, outreach and the general behind-the-scenes, I handle the work that takes time away from yours.

Originally from Hamburg, Germany, I spent almost a decade in London, initially working in marketing and later in the music industry.

In 2018, I quit my job at a record label to travel the world. It ended up being a much longer trip than I’d originally planned.

While in South America, I learned to scuba dive, and it impacted me in a way nothing else quite had. Around that time, I knew I wasn’t ever going back to an office.

I’ve been working remotely across multiple time zones ever since, in English and German, with people creating real-world change.

How can I help you?

Every client is different. Here’s some of what I do:

Websites: Updating, redesigning and ongoing management of sites in Squarespace and WordPress

Newsletters: Designing, writing, managing and migrating newsletters in Mailchimp, MailerLite and Squarespace

Communications: Writing, editing and scheduling blog posts, podcast distribution via Libsyn, content scheduling and posting, email communication, community engagement

Research and outreach: Identifying contacts, researching opportunities, reaching out on your behalf and putting together pitch decks and presentations

Course creation: Building and managing online courses in Ablefy

Graphic design: Social media graphics, presentations and other visual content in Canva

General admin: Data entry, contract coordination, expense tracking, proofreading, file management, the unglamorous stuff

Other tools I work with include Notion, Slack, Google Workspace and more. If something you need isn’t on this list, get in touch.

Literally, literally, literally NONE of this would be happening without you. No way I can possibly convey the level of gratitude.

You have been the absolute best human we could’ve hoped to find to help us! I am eternally grateful for your support, and even more for the ray of sunshine you bring to every interaction.

Kit Whelan, Nomad + Spice

Thank you so much for joining our team this year, and for immediately kicking so much ass!! We are so grateful you found your way to us. I hope this is just the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Thank you for your brilliance, your support, and your kindness.

Team 7in7

Being independent doesn’t mean you have to work alone. Charlotte supported me as a force multiplier for my work between my newsletter, my SaaS business, and my consulting business. She edited my writing, formatted it for broadcast across different channels, and provided critical feedback and automation ideas for my business. Plus, she served as my ‘accountability buddy’.

Andrew Lovett-Barron

Charlotte is extremely friendly, organized and always one step ahead. Without her support, my businesses would not be where they are today. I highly recommend working with her and will always hire her again.

What does it cost?

One-off projects starting from €50 per hour.

For ongoing work, we create an individual package based on what you actually need. Retainers are paid at the start of each month.

Get in touch to discuss details!

Say hi!

Whether you’re an underwater filmmaker, photographer or dive expedition leader, work in marine conservation, or run an ethical business helping people, animals or the planet, I’d love to hear from you.
