I’m a communicator who is long on real, usable ideas not unnecessary process. People hire me to solve their problem be it marketing strategy, positioning, branding, PR or even to set up their blogs for them and make sure they get written.

I would call myself a consultant but that seems to imply that I just drop in, dump it on you and leave. I don’t. I’m different in that I’m hands on: I know how to do the things I’m telling you to do so I can actually do them for you. Like write. Plan. Blog. Create a website. Conceptualise.  Make things happen.

I can produce communication and PR strategies and then turn them into wonderful, digestible commercial mouthfuls.  I’ll help you figure out why your stuff isn’t working and even give your young marketing people some coaching to help them up their game. Most importantly I’ll bring freshness and ideas when you might think you can’t find a way through. And with a ton of blue-chip experience behind me I know how to do it quickly and efficiently so you don’t pay for downtime or me eating all your best biscuits in useless meetings. Use me as your silent communication weapon or more visibly, it’s up to you. I’ve been advising at board level for fifteen years so know how to deal with a whole host of personalities. Even people without personalities for that matter.

If you’re not sure what you need, give me a call and I’m happy to chat. I can also bring in other skilled people if you need them.
