Devon Marketing Entrepreneur Melanie Brook Named Finalist in Two Prestigious Women in Business Awards

Jem Marketing’s bold rise from start-up to standout earns national recognition in just months

Just four months after launching her business, Melanie Brook, Founder and Director of Jem Marketing, has been named a Finalist in the Devon Women in Business Awards and a Semi-Finalist in the West Country Women’s Awards, both in the Best New Start-Up category.

Founded in June 2025, Jem Marketing delivers consultancy and fractional CMO services tailored for the UK holiday park industry and the B2B businesses that support it. With a clear mission and a fearless approach, Brook’s business is already making waves in a niche sector often underserved by traditional marketing agencies.

“I was surprised — but very pleasantly so,” says Brook. “Just a few months ago, I was leading marketing inside a holiday park. Now, I’ve stepped out to build something of my own — and it proves that moving out of your comfort zone can lead to something extraordinary.”

Her success will be celebrated on 16th October, when she attends the West Country Women’s Awards Finals Event, followed by the Devon Women in Business Awards Final on 14th November 2025. Both occasions mark major milestones in what has been a fast-moving, purpose-driven journey for this new Devon-based business.

“There are some fantastic businesses in these categories,” adds Brook. “To be included among them so soon is an honour and a huge motivator to keep going.”

These recognitions highlight not only Brook’s personal determination but also Jem Marketing’s commitment to empowering the UK’s holiday park industry through smarter, data-driven strategy and honest marketing mentorship.

  • Psychology of Trust: How Hazem Altal Is Redefining Ethics in Global Hair Transplant Tourism

    Istanbul, Turkey – October 2025 – In an industry so often defined by before‑and‑after photos, Hazem Altal, Founder and CEO of UniquEra International Group, is drawing the spotlight back to what truly drives confidence in  medical tourism - trust. Under the umbrella of UniquEra International Group, Altal has spent over a decade building  patient-centred practices that reposition ethics and education as the core pillars of Turkey’s booming hair transplant sector. Understanding the Trust Gap Turkey remains the global leader in hair transplant tourism, performing over one million procedures every year, according to NPR Health (2025) . Yet many international patients still arrive uncertain about standards, outcomes, or authenticity. Hazem identifies this as what he calls the “trust gap” - the emotional distance between medical expertise and patient understanding.   “Most people don’t fear surgery,” says Hazem Altal. “They fear not being told the truth. Our mission is to close that gap through transparency, education, and empathy.” His focus aligns with globally recognised PR principles for medical communication - emphasising clarity and plain‑language education as building blocks of trust .​ Building Confidence Through Clarity At UniquEra International Group, trust is deliberately engineered into the treatment journey. Each patient’s path is built around informed decision‑making and emotional security rather than marketing promises. The process includes: - Trichoscopic and scalp‑health imaging before any diagnosis. - Personalised medical planning with realistic goals and clear limitations. - Medical expert‑led consultations in multiple languages to eliminate miscommunication. - Transparent pricing and written consent that clarify procedure scope and safety standards. - Ongoing aftercare, including PRP and routine progress check‑ins throughout recovery. This framework reflects Altal’s conviction that informed patients become empowered patients  and that long‑term trust outlasts short‑term promotion.  “Care should never be a mystery,” Hazem Altal explains. “When people fully understand their procedure, their expectations stay grounded - and their confidence grows.” Ethics Over Advertising Rather than competing on volume or social‑media visibility, UniquEra Clinic focuses on authenticity and ethical evaluation. Each method - Manual FUE Hair Transplantation, Sapphire FUE, or  DHI hair transplant - is determined solely by medical indication, not trend.  UniquEra’s multilingual support network ensures that international patients feel informed and  emotionally supported throughout their stay, prioritising psychological comfort alongside physical restoration.  “True VIP care isn’t about luxury hair transplant in Turkey or labels,” Hazem Altal notes. “It’s about being treated with honesty  and respect throughout your journey.” Redefining the Global Hair Transplant Standard As the global medical tourism market surges ahead, concerns about unlicensed providers and false advertising have grown. A 2025 PubMed study from Springer Nature warned that technician‑led centres and ‘assembly‑line’ operations pose a significant risk to patient safety . ​UniquEra Hair Transplant Clinic in Turkey…
