West London Chambers Member, Marketing Entrepreneur Named One of 2023’s Most Inspiring Female Founders

Silvia Del Corso, who founded PinkSEO in 2016 in West London is being profiled alongside 100 female entrepreneurs from across the country, as part of the campaign to celebrate the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK today.

The f:Entrepreneur campaign was launched in 2017 to raise greater awareness of the impact of incredible female business owners across the country, and help provide inspiration and role models to the wider small business community. Delivered by Small Business Britain – the leading champion of small businesses in the UK - the campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills, capability, and confidence.

The f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ line-up particularly sets out to showcase trailblazing female founders who lead purpose-driven businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as volunteering, mentoring and community support.

Indeed, Silvia Del Corso was also nominated finalist for the WLBA 2023, West London Business Awards in the category Creative/ Media Business of the Year.

On being featured in the #ialso100 lineup, Silvia said:

“I am immensely proud and grateful of having been featured in this list of the 100 most inspiring female entrepreneurs in the UK.

Having relocated from Italy to London in 2016, relaunching my small business in a new Country was in some ways a leap of faith. Particularly as a female entrepreneur in tech, and in a usually male-dominated industry as SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is, I strongly wanted to brand the business as female-led, hence the name PinkSEO, although we have clients in any industry and gender.

Running a small business has been an exciting challenge, despite the difficulties us entrepreneurs had to face with the pandemic first and the cost-of-living crisis next.

I am grateful for the support and resources provided by the West London Chambers, including access to networking events, opportunities to speak about my expertise at online events, training and support via numerous events, and being a finalist in the Business Awards of West London Chambers in 2021. Thanks to this support, we have grown quickly, expanding our team up to the 6 members (all UK-based) we have at the moment, without ever compromising on the one-to-one tailored attention to our clients that is so important for us.

I’m also proud to highlight how we have always remained a pureplay SEO agency: among so many generalist marketing agencies, we are committed to only focus on the Search Engine Optimisation branch of activities, in order to be able to offer to our clients the most advanced and in-depth approach and results”.

From adaptive fashion designers to female-run private security companies, social enterprise leaders and ethical product manufactures, this year’s f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ campaign celebrates inspiring and resilient female entrepreneurs that have flourished despite the challenges of the past years, with many still growing or starting new ventures. Many of the businesses featured in this year’s campaign also demonstrate a huge commitment to championing diversity and inclusion, as well as promoting sustainability.

Both f:Entrepreneur and Small Business Britain were founded by Michelle Ovens CBE, who is also the director of Small Business Saturday UK.

“Congratulations to Silvia Del Corso, and each of the talented female entrepreneurs featured in this year’s #ialso100,” said Michelle Ovens.

“It is so vital that we recognize and celebrate the phenomenal contribution that women running businesses are making across the UK, and the far-reaching, positive impact they are having, not just on the economy, but on wider communities too. The last few years have been hugely challenging for small businesses, yet despite this female entrepreneurship continues to grow and flourish in the UK and is very much at the heart of the UK’s recovery.”
