specialist communications counsel - without the premium price tag

elevating your story

concept

Could your organisation benefit from communications support, but is not currently able to allocate budget for an in-house expert?

That’s where I can assist.

I offer a tailored, flexible alternative to the traditional consultancy model — providing access to specialist communications support without the commitment of an in-house hire.

Whether you require strategic guidance for a specific initiative or ongoing advisory support on a part-time basis, my services are designed to align with your objectives and scale as your needs evolve.
