Experience
I have been working in communications for nearly three decades. During this time there has been a huge shift in the media landscape but the core principle remains the same: clear, relevant and well targeted messaging is the most effective. My aim throughout my career has always been to get under the skin of my clients and understand their needs and objectives: so together we can build communication strategies that contribute to long term success.
