Meet the gal in Charge
and the little cats that inspired it all.
“Bethany is a passionate freelance social media manager based in Carlisle, Cumbria, who infuses creativity into every project she undertakes.”
With a university degree in photography, specialising in fashion and styled portraiture, I initially embarked on a career as a portrait photographer. However, I soon found that my true passion lay in the promotional side of my business.
Rather than laying my camera to rest, I now combine my artistic skills with my love for marketing, dedicating my talents to helping small and local businesses shine online. I am committed to showcasing the incredible offerings of Cumbria and ensuring that every remarkable business receives the spotlight it deserves.
And video wiz-kid Reece
“Reece is a freelance content creator and social media marketer based in Carlisle, Cumbria, who brings stories to life through video, visuals and clever edits.”
With a background in sales and a creative eye behind the camera, I discovered my real buzz comes from turning raw clips into scroll-stopping content. What started as a love for photography quickly evolved into a passion for videography and the magic of post-production.
Now I use those skills to help small businesses show up online with confidence, creativity and a touch of personality. I'm all about supporting Cumbrian brands and making sure their story gets seen and remembered.
"We're starting small and working local to bring life back to Carlisle!"
Meet the muses.
The heart and soul of Black Cat Studio isn’t just our shared love for creativity and content—it’s also our four fluffy co-workers who make every workday that little bit more entertaining. Obi, Zeb, Rebel, and Rogue aren’t just cats; they’re the real bosses around here, and they’ve fully approved Reece as part of the team (after some intense sniffing and supervisory stares, of course).
Each cat brings a unique flavour to the creative process. Zeb’s curious nature pushes us to explore fresh ideas and bold new strategies, while Rebel’s fierce independence reminds us to always stay true to our creative vision. Whether they’re weaving between our legs mid-edit or snoozing through brainstorming sessions, these little muses are a constant source of inspiration and chaos in equal measure.
In a world where trends move fast and attention spans move faster, it’s their playful energy and curious spirit that help keep our content feeling fresh, fun, and totally ‘us’. And let’s be honest—if there’s a way to sneak a cat meme into a campaign, we’ll probably find it. It’s only natural that the quirks of our adorable companions would seep into our brand.
With every project we take on, we bring that same mix of creativity, tenacity, and a little bit of mischief—courtesy of the cats, of course.
So, here’s to the purr-fect partnership
that drives
Black Cat Studio forward!
