Helping people and organisations to:

  • ENGAGE

    Understand your audience - through consultations and research - to inform your strategic communications.

  • INFLUENCE

    The science of persuasion, from direct selling to political campaigns and public relations.

  • INSPIRE

    Spark ideas and actions in others, from community organising to building a movement.

and make a positive difference to the world.

What kind of work?

With a broad range of communication, engagement and campaigning skills, I can help in lots of ways.

The questions I ask myself about any potential project are:

  1. Does it involve understanding people?

  2. Does it require communication skills?

  3. Does it make the world a little better?

If the answer’s always yes, then I know I can help.

Taking your problems and creating solutions

How I do it:

  • I’m fortunate enough to have a brain that’s both creative and systematic. This means when I come up with ideas I work with both words and images - but can also focus on data, systems and the tiny details that hold it all together.

  • I can see the big picture as well as the tiny details.

    That means I can spot the risks, the outside forces that can throw you off course; as well as identifying the work needed to knit everything together into a successful plan.

  • I will be straight with you about what I can achieve; I won’t upset your colleagues/stakeholders; we may even have fun!

  • I can work in your office or remotely; in a team or on my own; all using a range of skills so you don’t have to bring in separate specialists - unless we need to and then I have a network of contacts who can help.

  • usually per hour, per project, or per role.
