Skills

COMMUNICATIONS EXPERT

I have twelve years strategic marketing, PR and comms experience in the media, broadcast, digital and tech sectors, running full service integrated marketing functions. I have managed company rebrands and, as a comms consultant, advised FTSE 100s on branding, messaging, internal and external, and crisis comms during M&A and MBOs. In recent years I have specialised in digital and content marketing and SEO as well as social media strategy and planning. 

BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Voted a 'Broadcast Magazine Business Hot Shot', I'm a tenacious saleswoman who identifies opportunities, cuts and closes deals. In 2012 I went freelance, securing a FTSE 100 as my first client. At WRN Broadcast I won six figure deals and, at, IMD increased digital revenues 100%, YOY. At PHA Media I manage the Sales and Marketing team and have consistently exceeded targets (fee income up 14% last financial year). 

ADVOCATE

A confident and articulate communicator, I'm able to clearly and concisely express key messages in any environment. I have been spokesperson for a high profile international PR campaign, delivering the media line under pressure, in live TV and radio interviews.  I am accustomed to representing businesses in a public capacity and you can see my latest TV appearance here. 

networker 

A media industry doyenne with a killer little black book of contacts, I mingle with a wide array of people. Be it Damien Hirst (a former client), Stephen Fry (who I met when I was chosen to judge an International Emmy Award), internal or external stakeholders, I charm and influence with panache. I'm connected to C level execs, decision-makers, journalists, movers and shakers in many sectors, from tech to investment, agency and client side. 

storyteller 

I am a versatile copywriter, able to produce copy for many purposes, from white papers to press articles, website writing to awards entries. I have ghost written a published ebook. I'm  a art curator, organise art exhibitions and write art catalogues. One of my greatest passions is travel writing. I also enjoy blogging and contributing to various websites. It goes without saying that I'm a prolific, proficient user of social media. 

film maker / producer 

In my spare time I produce films, one of which was recently shortlisted for an award by the Indian government for their IndiaIs 2014 competition. I've developed, scripted and voiced promotional videos for products and have done several stints as VO. I co-produced, researched and presented a pilot TV series and am a member of an all-female production company. I have a special interest in the documentary genre and in finding funding for films.
