Communications campaigns and political strategy
about me
I’m a passionate believer in the power of using communication tools to achieve social good. After 17 years working for top campaigning charities, communications agencies, and some of the world’s best-known companies, I now work as a freelance consultant.
I’m passionate about building the social change necessary to live in a world where everyone has a voice, a vote, a decent standard of living and an inhabitable earth.

My CV
Before going freelance I was Head of Communications at Citizens UK, and advised on campaigning communications to its sister organisation the Living Wage Foundation.
Prior to that, I was Head of External Affairs at the Trussell Trust, in a period where foodbanks dominated the news agenda; my team dealt with and created thousands of stories in a single year.
I spent four years at one of the UK’s top public affairs and relations agencies, where I worked for both start-ups and global brands including Google, Vodafone, Coca Cola and Universal Music.
Earlier in my career, I was a constituency organiser, then a national organiser, leading a team of 12 staff.
Now, I work in a broad-based campaigning communications capacity, advising non-profits and social purpose businesses which are working with marginalised communicates.
