Helping organisations achieve their objectives through clear communication.
With over 25 years' experience as a communications professional, I can help you with...
Change Communications
Need to tell a changing story?
Change is unsettling, and yet inevitable if organisations are to survive. A clear narrative is essential to keep stakeholders onboard.
My calm, collaborative approach has enabled me to keep colleagues, supporters & donors on board during a complex global change process at Christian Aid, and with a handful of Church of England Dioceses navigating significant change.
At Mercy Ships UK, I've focused on clear internal communications to enable project delivery during leadership changes.
My blog article explores why good storytelling is crucial in change.
Communications Strategy
Not sure how to update your communications strategy?
Can't see the wood for the trees? I can hold the big strategic picture, whilst honing in on what is needed for a particular project.
I can deliver you a plan to tell the right story, to the right audience, via the right channels, at the right time.
Currently working with the Iona Community, and Diocese of Liverpool to refresh their communications strategies.
I helped Refugee Action's Good Practice and Partnerships team pivot entirely to a digital strategy in Covid, and led a complete review and refresh of Christian Aid's Brand Strategy.
Whilst chair of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland's media group I led a media plan that influenced the 2009 Climate Change (Scotland) Act.
Strategic Copywriting
Need a complex message turned into engaging copy?
I've delivered clear, targeted copy for websites, newspapers, magazines and more. I enjoy turning complex ideas into engaging copy, on deadline.
And as Strategic Writer for Sparks Studio I help companies and charities simplify well. If you need a full brand refresh, let me know and I'll introduce you to the Sparks team.
A snapshot of my recent work includes sharpening fundraising reports for United Bible Societies, copy for Leprosy Mission International's new website and copy for OMF's magazine Billions.
