Claire Culley

A strategic planner, creative thinker and lover of marketing.

Prior to working in Higher Education Claire worked in the commercial marketing sphere implementing social & digital strategies. Using her wealth of digital marketing, social, branding and content experience with national brands including Dunelm, intu shopping centres and Preloved.com, Claire utilises these practical skills to encourage, develop and support students within their studies. Claire is also an entrepreneur. In 2014 she was the founder of a co-working and events venue in Brighton. Super+Super was born from an idea of a collaborative space where you could work, learn and play. The venue consisted of coworking offices and a workshop space. This venture led to the creation of five published books available in Waterstones, Barnes & Noble & Amazon.com.

Claire is incredibly passionate about bringing real life industry news and updates into modules and giving students experiences to aid their employability. In 2021 Claire developed The Marketing Lab whereby our undergraduate students could have the opportunity to work on a real life marketing campaign supporting a local business. The scheme continues to run and the labs format is now in place across all business courses.

In 2022 Claire became Head of Business which has enabled her to continue to bring modern methods, practical experience and innovative teaching to the next generation of business graduates.
