Senior communications leadership. Without the full-time hire.

For over two decades, I've helped brands across the UK and US turn big ideas into compelling stories, and those stories into measurable impact.

From venture-backed startups to FTSE 250 companies, I combine the strategic thinking of a seasoned communications director with indie-brand agility. I work with founders, CMOs, and leadership teams as a fractional communications and PR director, stepping in as a trusted senior partner, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Whether you need to build a communications function from scratch, sharpen your brand narrative, or land coverage that actually moves the needle I can help.

Strategic Communications That Build Brands

Great brand communications isn't just about getting press. It's about knowing what your brand stands for, who you're talking to, and how to say something worth hearing. Here's where I can help:

  • Clarity on your story, your audiences, and the channels that will reach them. Built for the long term, flexible enough for the real world.

  • Coverage in the publications your customers and investors actually read, across UK and US markets.

  • Senior communications leadership on a project or retained basis. I embed with your team, set the strategy, and help you execute it.

  • Helping your leadership team build credibility, share their perspective, and become part of your brand story

  • One-to-one coaching for founders and leaders who want to communicate with more confidence, clarity and impact. description.

A Different Kind of Communications Partner

Most agencies will give you a team. I give you me–someone who has spent 20+ years building brands brand communications, across multiple categories, and geographies.

I've set up in-house PR and social media functions, led integrated global campaigns, and helped start-ups earn the kind of coverage and introductions that changes the trajectory of a business. I bring that same senior-level thinking to every client I work with, whether we're working together for weeks or years.

Based in the UK and working across the US, I understand what it takes to build a brand narrative that travels.
