About Us

Who Are We?

After almost 20 years in the corporate world gaining marketing experience through roles including - European Marketing Director of Remington, European Marketing Manager of Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Head of Sales & Marketing at Embody, Product Manager for Paco Rabanne & Jean Patou fragrances, Peta Thorniley decided to leave the corporate world and set up something for herself, hence the creation of The Body Guide, an online health & beauty magazine and treatment directory. 

Through the Body Guide and her time at Embody, she have had many conversations with small to medium sized businesses who where looking for help with marketing but just couldn’t afford or didn’t need full time marketing employees.  There also appeared to be a lot of confusion and a lack of understanding about website design, web optimisation and internet marketing which are becoming increasingly important in marketing a business.  As a result BLBC Unlimited was created in 2006 to meet the needs of these small to medium size organisations.

Since then, BLBC (un)Limited has assisted a range of clients cost-effectively with their specific marketing projects - from leaflets and websites for individual salons/clinics/therapists to year-round marketing campaigns and we am sure we can help you.
