How I Can Help

Fractional Communications Director

For businesses that need senior communications support but don’t want, or don’t yet need, a full-time hire. 

I work alongside you as part of your team - shaping strategy, building your narrative, and making sure communications are aligned with where the business is trying to go.

Strategic Advisor

For leadership teams and agencies that want an experienced, independent perspective.

I help bring clarity, challenge thinking, and strengthen the work, drawing on years of hands-on experience rather than theory.

Sounding Board

When you don’t need another supplier. You just need someone experienced with whom you can talk things through.

I act as a trusted sounding board, helping you sense-check decisions, work through challenges, consider alternative scenarios, and determine the way forward with confidence.

WHY WORK WITH ME

I help clients ensure their communications not only drive growth, but also properly reflect who they are and what they stand for.

My 30+ year career spans agency and in-house roles, working with organisations of all shapes and sizes, including board-level and leadership positions within global networks. Along the way, I founded and built my own award-winning B Corp communications agency, which I closed in 2023.

I bring drive, lateral thinking, hard-won experience, wisdom and humour to projects and teams.

As well as having built and run my own agency for over 20 years, I've directed successful communications strategies for companies of every shape and size, across corporate, consumer, trade, B2B and Not For Profit sectors. There isn’t much in communications and reputation management for business I haven’t experienced and learned from. 

This mix of experience means I understand both the strategic and practical sides of communications … what works in reality, not just in theory.

​I can help you step back, get clear on what matters, and put a more focused, effective approach in place:

  • Clarify what you stand for and how you communicate it

  • Build a communications approach that supports growth

  • Strengthen trust with your audiences

  • Join up internal and external communications

  • Navigate change, pressure, or uncertainty

  • Build confidence and capability within your team

I'LL KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
