About me
I help brands and organisations get their story straight: combining strategic thinking with creative execution to clarify what they stand for, align people behind it, then turn their story into brands, communications and experiences that drive impact, consistency and growth.
I bring a combination of real-world strategic, creative and organisational experience to every project, having spent 20 years as a senior creative leader inside major organisations and agencies including Warner Bros. Discovery, BBC and Red Bee. I led numerous brand transformation projects including product launches, brand repositioning, brand refreshes, marketing campaigns and digital experiences.
I now work with founders and leadership teams to create clarity from complexity, particularly in moments of brand transformation - product launch, merger, expansion, re-structure, or strategic pivot. I help them understand the problem they are solving, simplify and sharpen their core message, and translate their brand story into visual and verbal identity, internal and external messaging, marketing campaigns and digital experiences. I work across diverse sectors, most recently including broadcast and streaming, music production, tech, further education and business services.
