From building a thriving soft play business while raising two small children, to leading the UK arm of a digital marketing company, Erika Robinson’s career has been shaped by curiosity, grit and a love for small business.

In this episode of Behind the SME, Erika shares how she balanced entrepreneurship with motherhood, what she's learned from scaling two very different ventures, and how she’s building Constant Contact’s UK presence from the ground up - with a strategy rooted in product-market fit, data, and unwavering support for SMEs.

Whether you're scaling a startup or navigating a new leadership challenge, Erika’s story is a masterclass in trusting your instincts and backing yourself.
