I'm an independent communications consultant. I solve communications problems and train others to do the same. I love helping companies get their story straight, so they acquire the positive attention they want through earned, paid and owned media.I've been doing this for more than 25 years, working with hundreds of brands, ranging from giants like Google, John Lewis, Samsung and Sony, to hundreds of scale-ups, charities, and government organisations.I worked with ministers under the Blair government in a press officer role before working at some of the UK's best PR agencies servicing fast-growth B2B and B2C companies. I launched my own agency in 2012 which twice won best UK small PR agency before I sold it to an American firm in 2019 and exited in 2023.I've won dozens of awards for PR and marketing campaigns and people tell me I'm great to work with. If you have a problem I can help fix then I'd love to hear from you. Depending on availability, I'm happy to do a day's work, or months-long projects.Some of my consultancy services:- PR and Marketing Strategy development- Creative campaigning – how to use creativity to supercharge your communications - Crisis management / issues readiness and response- Executive and leadership communications training / media training- Liquidity event comms planning – how to use strategic communications to prepare for funding events (from seed to IPO)- Going global – how to take your story global and put in place an infrastructure of global storytellers- Developing strategic communications narratives- Compelling copywriting - Agency selection, management and motivation- Team building – how to build motivated, high performing communications teamsI'm restricted via non-competes from working with some companies, but please get in touch – If I can't help, I can usually recommend someone else who can.
