About me

I am a former journalist, consumer PR specialist and experienced account manager, with a strong background in retail, home interest and transport.

With six years PR and digital agency experience and eight years working in the national, regional and online media, I am able to provide my clients with a broad range of communications and marketing skills, in-depth media knowledge and media contacts across a number of sectors.

I began my career in journalism, as a reporter and features writer for Liverpool-based news agency, Mercury Press, There I developed a passion for storytelling, which propelled me to the role of Commissioning Editor of Time Inc UK's popular women's weekly title, Pick Me Up.

I now use my storytelling skills and extensive media knowledge to create strategic and engaging PR campaigns that communicate clients' brand stories and deliver tangible results focused on core business objectives.

Since moving into PR in 2008, I have driven a range of fully integrated campaigns - comprising event management, product launches, press office, community activity and social media strategy creation and implementation - for clients as varied as the Atkins Diet, Wilko, Peugeot and Stagecoach Manchester.
