About
I’ve worked with a variety of public sector organisations (local government, NHS and education) and businesses of all sizes (from sole traders to large multi-national companies) operating across many different sectors. I get involved in everything from developing and delivering bespoke marketing, communications and engagement strategies to providing organisations with practical help and advice with their day-to-day marketing and communications activities, as well as offering crisis management support on challenging and sensitive issues.
I offer public relations advice and support for organisations keen to raise awareness of their brand and services through the media, as well as copy-writing, proof-reading and editing services for customers keen to develop newsletters, brochures, websites and other marketing materials, and a social media management service for those looking to enhance their online presence.
I also provide freelance writing and editing support to local, regional and national newspapers and magazines.
Over the years I’ve established an extensive network of contacts, which includes skilled creatives offering graphic design, website development and hosting, photography and much more besides. This means that, between us we can offer a comprehensive package of marketing and communications support.
