Shaped by connection.
Built for momentum.
Hi, I’m Claire Sharpe, brand strategist, producer, and community connector with over a decade of global marketing expertise.
I help brands find success through brand, strategic communications, content marketing, public relations, community building, and events.
I can help your brand grow in the same way your customers move: with purpose, and through real-world connection.
Studio Esker is where strategy meets instinct, where connection drives momentum, and where brands grow with integrity.
I don’t invent communities, I help brands earn their place in them.
