The Joy Factory is a branding and marketing agency in Hampshire that was founded in 2013 by me, Katie Moritz (above with umbrella!)
I’m passionate about helping you to grow your business, through dumping ‘busy’ and finding more joy and productivity. I provide brand development, illustration and design, targeted marketing plans and training.
My Expertise and Experience highlights:
Creating Branding
- I created a new Business Services flyer for Harrow Council
- I created the brand identity and voice for the charity Shop, ‘Found’ (see left) and Harrow Work Hub in Pinner.
- I created centre avatars and logos for Groundwork, that were used in print, merchandise and online
Marketing
- I ran PR and got national media coverage for Mind in Harrow
- I ran an awareness campaign for Greenpeace with Facebook and web content
- I created Facebook campaigns for the V&A, the Courtauld Gallery and West End Theatres whilst working at Culture Calling
- I grew @LondonCallingUk from 800 to 12k Twitter followers in two years.
- I had a worldwide trending hashtag, ‘#wee12’ running their campaign (see left)
- I created communications for Facebook and a new website for Creative Growth South. I helped promote their mentoring scheme and was interviewed, which you can watch below, will also give you a flavour of how I work (and features possibly one of the most toe-curlingly embarrassing intros you’re ever seen…but it got me some work with Creative Growth South, so turns out I really can do PR!):
Training and Consultation
- I have run training in partnership with Southampton BiPC, Natwest, Barclays Eagle Labs and London Business Partnership
- I have delivered in-house training for Aerial Direct, Greenpeace, Harrow Council and the Church of England Portsmouth Diocese Parish of Fareham.
- I was part of a round table creating recommendations around diverse entrepreneurship for the Mayor of London at the City of London (left).
Running Events
- I founded Breakthrough, an online and real-life network, with over 200 members
- I hosted training workshops with Harrow Council and Southampton Council
- I co-hosted Google training for 30 Community Leaders with Google Digital Garage (see left)
Joy Factory Values
How Work Associates describe me…
Mental Wellbeing
- I work between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Thursday
- Don’t expect to hear from me on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and weekdays after 5pm. (Although I might reply if I happen to be working)
- This is nothing personal, it’s so I can do the best job for you by having strong boundaries and to ensure I make time for my family.
Communication
- If you’ve met me and taken my details, I won’t chase you. Come to me when or if you are ready.
- I always advocate honesty and will put your customers first in my recommendations, I will even tell you if I think you’re thinking of yourself rather than your audience!
- I will make every effort to reply to communications within 48 hours.
Integrity
- I will endeavour to use local suppliers and use second-hand goods if possible
- I will always fight for justice and stand for those who are misrepresented
- I will keep my knowledge and expertise up to date for my clients
- I will retreat once a quarter to continue to refine and improve my practice.
Partnership
- If a sale is not possible, I will offer to barter skills (such as LinkedIn lesson for Tax return help!)
- I aim to help partners achieve their personal aims and objectives wherever possible and will promote them in my network.

Want to know what I do in my downtime…?
My husband Mike and my son Isaac, are my very first priority. Here we are all dressed up for a wedding! 
I love an adventure and a chance to be joyful, silly and child-like! 
Here I am with the ‘Little Free Library’ the day it opened, now it is rammed all the time and has its own little life. 
I love culture – gigs, theatre, comedy, art, happenings… 
I’m an artist, here I am with my artwork (top) at a Hampshire exhibition. 
I love gardening. Here are some carrots I grew! 
I’m a rollercoaster fanatic, infact I’m even in a rollercoaster club! 
Here I am being licenced as a ‘Lay Pioneer Minister’ – translation – I aim to join in the mission of God (people flourish, creation looked after, fighting oppression) through social enterprise, community work and ‘Breakthrough’ (the womens’ community I founded.) p.s. as a pioneer, I didn’t have to wear robes!
