Testimonials
Thought leadership
Claire Douglas, Head of Marketing, Hodder Education
“Emma led the PR on our Wellbeing Thought Leadership Campaign, and we were thrilled to have been supported by her expertise on this. In the past we’ve struggled to successfully integrate PR into our marketing plans, but Emma worked effortlessly with our team to understand our needs and deliver our PR vision."
Jane Harley, Policy and Partnerships Director, Oxford University Press
"I have worked extensively with Emma and have always valued her many strengths. She always sees the human side, is empathetic, gets to the heart of issues and challenges and responds with a powerful and authentic voice. Emma is a joy to collaborate with - a great asset to any team and someone who you can trust and who can also see the funny side of life!"
Lizzie Shannon-Little, Head of Communications and Marketing, Oxford Policy Management
"Emma is a brilliant, collaborative, and supportive Communications Consultant; steering her clients with professionalism and expertise. She has a wealth of experience in running international communications campaigns, building brands and implementing strategic public relations, and supporting organisations through reputational and crisis communications incidents, to name just a few areas. I would highly recommend Emma to any organisation interested in contributing to national or international discussion, while enhancing their reputation and stakeholder engagement."
Governance
Chris Keating, CEO, Connection Support (testimonial offered to reflect my role as Vice Chair of Connections Support's Board of Trustees)
"Emma is a demonstrably talented communications expert, she has supported me and my organisation with tricky internal and external comms as well as helping us to think and strategise about our future communications goals. She listens to truly understand which is a rare and beautiful quality. To me, personally, she has been incredibly generous with her time and skills, she has sat with me to explore potential ideas and brought in her own thoughts and expertise. She has supported us to review our organisational strategy and brought excellent input both into our direction of travel and the steps required to get us there. Throughout many of our larger meetings she has held a facilitation role and expertly leads a room, quickly understanding the interpersonal dynamics to ensure everyone feels valued and has their creativity brought to the fore. Most importantly, she is a wonderfully warm, kind, generous and creative person who it is an absolute pleasure to feel supported by."

She's down-to-earth, delivering practical tips and observations that resonate with people from the PR industry - and beyond! Would absolutely recommend!"
Megan Thomas, Senior Communications Manager at Cambridge Partnership for Education
"Emma is an exceptional manager and mentor. She is generous with her extensive expertise and her (less extensive) time, particularly when supporting early career professionals. Her leadership skills across both communications and people management were invaluable and I feel enormously lucky to have been directly managed by Emma."
Amanda Coleman, Crisis communication consultant, Author of Crisis Communication Strategies and Everyday Communication Strategies
"Emma is a joy to work with and has an infectious enthusiasm for the work. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is always ready to share her experience to help others achieve the best results. Work is always more enjoyable when you get to do it with Emma."
