Struggling to navigate the endless stream of content and constant news cycle?
Struggling to navigate the endless stream of content and constant news cycle?
I’m here to help! Having worked in busy newsrooms and fast-paced communications and marketing teams for more than 15 years, I know what makes a good story. I know what angle to use, where to pitch it and which images and videos are needed to make the story sing.
I can help you get quality press coverage for your business, in the right media at the right time, that connects with your audiences. Not only that, but I also create compelling content for other platforms including websites and printed marketing material; and provide media training workshops and crisis communications advice.

PR & Media Relations
Unsure how to raise your profile in the media? Don’t worry – I do. My experience as a journalist means I can carve out the most effective media opportunities to tell your story. Whether that’s writing and pitching engaging press releases, managing broadcast media filming or producing thought-leadership pieces that enable you to be the authoritative voice in your field, I can target the best publications to help you appear in the media you want to be in.

Copywriting
Content is key. It will grab your target audience’s attention, drive traffic to your website and convert to sales. I can provide professionally written copy that your audience will respond to and keep you current and relevant. But it’s not just online – creative content in print form is also an important marketing tool. Whatever format, I can help put the content together that will help you reach your target audience.
03.
Communications
Good communication is paramount to any organisation’s success. My experience in internal and stakeholder communications can help you keep your staff and other audiences engaged and informed of what’s happening within the business. I can create the strategy to deliver good communications, write the content and help push it out there.

Training & Crisis Communications
Understandably, sometimes businesses want to do their own comms, but they don’t know where to begin. My communications training workshops are bespoke to your needs. We will discuss what you want and need from the session, I’ll put the training together, deliver it and leave you with the various information sheets and assets used during our time together. I’ll also be available in the weeks following to answer any questions.
It takes a long time to build a positive reputation and brand but one incident to undo all that hard work. I can help you put a crisis communications plan in place to ensure if this happens to your business, you have the tools and knowledge to limit the damage.
