Why Work with Me
I’m Issy, the Suffolk influencer and content creator behind A Suffolk Mum, and I put brands in front of thousands of women and families across Suffolk and East Anglia through honest content they trust…
Who you’ll reach
A Suffolk Mum is an East Anglia lifestyle and parenting platform with an engaged readership of busy women, planning days out, booking breaks, and looking for honest recommendations of places to go, products to buy and services to use.
This started as my personal space to share online, and it has grown into a platform where I partner with brands I believe in. The honesty it was built on has not changed though. I continue to create useful organic content, alongside paid partnerships where readers know I only recommend what I genuinely rate, and when your brand appears here, it comes with that trust attached.
- 17,000 + combined social following
- Monthly contributor on Suffolk Sound radio
- Author of 237 Ideas for Stuff to do and Places to go in Suffolk
- 19k monthly website readers
Lifestyle and Parenting Blog – East Anglia Blogger & Content Creator
Working with me is not the same as paying for an advert on a website or a social media page. It’s becoming part of a local community When I share somewhere we have been, or ask where everyone else has been going, the comments fill up with other local women sharing their own recommendations, comparing notes and tagging friends who need to see it. That back and forth is exactly why the recommendations here feel honest and carry real weight.
So when your brand features on A Suffolk Mum, you are not interrupting an audience. You are being introduced to a community, inside a conversation they are already having about places to go, things to do and what is worth their money in East Anglia, London and beyond.
Some of the brands I've worked with and press features
How I can help you
- Sponsored blog articles. A dedicated article about your brand or venue on my website including a link through to your website.
- Instagram reels or grid post A dedicated post shared with my Instagram and Facebook followers.
- Blog and social campaigns combined for maximum reach An article plus the social posts around it, to maximise the campaign.
- UGC content. Photos and reels made for you to use on your own channels and website, rather than posted on mine.
You don’t need to arrive with a plan. Some brands know exactly what they want to book and we get straight on with it. Others book a Zoom call and we plan the campaign together, working out the focus and mix that will suit what you offer. I’ve worked in digital marketing and social media management for years, so I’m always happy to advise. or if you have a ready-made campaign and a brief, I’m happy to work to that too.
Email me or DM over on Instagram to request my media pack – asuffolkmum@yahoo.com
Eye for Content
A Suffolk Mum is one half of what I do. Through my other business, Eye for Content, I work as a social media manager and content writer for other companies, running their channels, planning content shoots and writing business blog, magazine articles and full website copy. This experience means I know exactly what brands need from a campaign, and what it takes to deliver content that actually works.
Some brands book a collaboration here and end up working with me through Eye for Content as well, and it happens the other way round too. If you’d like to work with local creators and don’t know where to start, I can even help you plan the whole thing through my Suffolk influencer outreach service.
You can contact me on my email: asuffolkmum@yahoo.com or use my contact me form.
Good morning Issy, I've just seen your post and it's fantastic! Thank you so much for hosting the book giveaway.
Hi Issy, We love the content! It’s perfect – really authentic and engaging. Saving water blog and social media campaign
Issy was great to work with and wrote an excellent blog about the visit and shared several social media posts. Partnering with Issy (and her family) helped us to promote the exhibition to her followers, who we felt were a perfect fit for our exhibition audience, and increase our organic reach across Instagram. We would be happy to work with Issy on future projects.
Loving your engaging reels and content ideas and particularly your blog about our baby show.
I love an H&M try on, which ones your favourite?
I’ve been having a look online and adding lots of new summer outfit ideas over on my shop page this week, including all these and more from H&M (not that it’s an actual shop if you haven’t been on there before, more a big collection of clothes and products I share from the high-street on my website page with links through for easy shopping)

AD | Wow what a show! Enthralling, tense, funny, emotional - the talented actors seamlessly jumping from one to the other, I was mesmerised throughout.
From the slick choreography and quality acting, to the powerful narration and haunting sets, this adaptation of Great Expectations transports the audience into the world of Pip and you feel as if you are right there with him, feeling every single step of his tumultuous journey.
Great Expectations is on at The Mercury Theatre Colchester till the 27th May.

The rain drenched reality Vs how I hoped to look! Not really worth getting my hair done first thing and my heels didn’t make it out of the car BUT so much fun at Newmarket races last weekend, loved it. @newmarket_racecourses

What do you think about SATS in schools? I was invited onto BBC Radio Suffolk breakfast show to talk about it this morning. I’ve added a link in my bio if you fancy a listen - my section starts at 2hrs 6 minutes into the programme (8.06am)

Did I make the right choices? I love when my @stitchfixuk box arrives, it always feels such a treat. I also quite like that I don’t want to keep it all each time as well, so it’s not too expensive either 😂 I have a discount code for £15 off your first box in my bio, if you’d like to give it a go.

Eating our way around the world, experiencing Ocoberfest in Florida and a talking Turtle with the funniest come backs! I have been talking all about why Epcot was so special, despite what I’d read over on my website - in a mini Disney diary. The links in my bio if you fancy a read

AD | Ever since they were toddlers I`ve always had a bag of tricks to rely on when journeys are long and my children are getting restless. As well as a lot of snacks, I find having a few new activities and toys to bring out, can diffuse many a tense situation, when we are all reaching the end of our patience. I have been writing about some great toy and travel game ideas on my website from @wickeduncletoys today - the link is in my bio if you`d like some fun and unusual new games to take on days out and away.

I choose the first one 😃
All these bank holidays, it feels like weeks are flying at the mo! Do you have any nice plans for the coronation? I’m planning on wearing this to the races, but the forecast is looking very wet at the moment 🙄

Whats your winner when trying to entice the kids off their screens at home? Ours is cooking at the moment, especially trying out airfryer recipes, but we’ve also done sooo many arts, crafts and sciency things as well in the past. With another long weekend stretching out, I thought I’d share some of what we’ve enjoyed doing as a family that I’ve written about before - the link with all the details is over in my bio

Which one do you think I bought 1,2 or 3 ?
I’ve found these “On the hanger and on me” reels so useful recently, when trying to gauge what’s going to suit me when shopping online, so I thought I’d make one too - these zebra print dresses are all from H&M in their Colchester shop last week (I’ll link all of them over in my stories too)
How mad that the second one was an extra small/small - thats taking oversized to a whole new level, it was like a tent😂 also watching this back I spend so much time pulling each one to see what it would look like with a belt on 🙈 I know it’s all about being floaty and loose now, but I just can’t let that 90’s staple of a giant belt go 😬
