My name is Chris Baker and I am the Founder and Owner of Corona Dental Marketing.

I have more than 20 years’ experience in dental marketing and PR and have advised on and executed plans for many practices on ways to expand through a wide range of tools including branding, online strategy, social media marketing, PR, advertising, printed and promotional materials, events and strategic alliances. I help dental clients leverage existing patients more effectively and carry out marketing with limited resources.

I am especially interested in the art of copywriting – knowing what can grab the attention of an audience; make them take action and the nuances of language that can make a huge difference to the bottom line.

I live with Faye and our boisterous Labrador, Nova.

In my spare time I torment myself by supporting Tottenham Hotspur and the England cricket team. Wine and travel are a huge passion and particular highlights have been Burgundy, Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Marlborough and the Borossa Valley.

My name is Faye Mear and I am a Client Liaison at Corona Dental Marketing. 

I have 2 years of experience working in dental marketing, and prior to this have had a long career in project management across many different sectors. I’m a farmer’s daughter, so I’m not afraid of hard work! I love supporting individuals and businesses to be the best they can be through coaching and support and I have a passion for making things happen! So I may be a nag but be assured that it comes from a good place.

During my time at Corona I have learned so much about dentistry and the unique challenges it brings. I enjoy really getting to know our clients and their teams, spending time in the practice and working closely with them to hear their voices, learn their ethos and translate that to great marketing and patient communication to achieve their goals. 

I understand that marketing and communication can often fall to the bottom of your To Do list because you have the day-to-day running of your business and your clinical practice too, so by getting Corona involved you’re ticking all that responsibility off! You do what you do best and we’ll do what we do, which is provide the expertise, help and support for you to grow your business solidly. 

Outside of work, I live with Chris, have two grown up children who live in Shrewsbury and Edinburgh. In my spare time I enjoy travel, walking our dog, Nova, and spending time with family and friends.

I absolutely love people and always want what’s best for them!

Hi, I’m Sam – and you could say I eat, sleep and breathe dentistry!

I’ve been working in dental marketing since 2011, with a particular focus on online content and marketing campaigns for dental practices. Here at Corona, my role covers everything from social media strategy to marketing and administrative support — and no two days are ever the same (which keeps the brain ticking!).

Alongside my work with Corona, I’m proud to also work with the Association of Dental Administrators and Managers (ADAM) and the amazing Lisa Bainham at Practice Management Matters. I love being part of an industry that blends healthcare, communication, and creativity.

Before diving into the dental world, I had a history of customer-focused roles — from hospitality management (reception, guest care, and room sales) to working with the police as a front desk Enquiry Officer and CCTV Liaison. Problem-solving, multitasking, and communicating effectively have always been at the heart of what I do.

Outside of work, I live in West Cork with my husband Mark, a whole gang of rescue cats, and the love of my life — Bear, my Irish Draught X horse. I’m a trustee for Beara Farm Animal Sanctuary, a volunteer with RAWR (a local Trap, Neuter & Return feral/stray cat charity), and I’m also a quailed seal rescue volunteer for Seal Rescue Ireland. If I’m not at my computer, I’m probably at the yard, at the vet or walking around the Sheepshead coast trying to spot seals, dolphins and whales — or I could be away wearing my ADAM hat at a dental conference!
