“Serena appeared at exactly the right time.”

As the founder of a community we have been experiencing growing pains recently and I was in need of some support and clarity over how we could best support our growing community whilst maintaining an intimate yet functional experience for each and every member.

Within a few days of speaking with Serena she delivered a fantastic proposal with a range of well researched options, perfectly tailored to our business needs. I would highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for support in the area of business, community or events.

Meet Our Founder Serena G

I’m here to bring those epic dreams to life through captivating community management and ‘DAMN that’s good’ digital marketing.

After spending over a decade working in the marketing and events industry, I decided to take a leap into the unknown and launch my own business. In 2019, Sense and Forum (previously known as Serena G Consulting - say whaaat?!) was born - my way of helping female founded startups, femtech brands and social impact businesses to level up their communities and maximise their brands potential with a bold community strategy.

I do what I do for one simple reason: I want to see you thrive. And I know I’ve got the skills and know-how to make that a reality.
