I offer a service called Media Makeover, whereby I collaborate with an first-class graphic design to deliver creative contents from development to delivery for any platform. We offer clean, contemporary design solutions, working to time, budget and to any brief. I act as an executive producer, overseeing the projects, making sure you the client get the results you need.
I am a highly experienced media professional with a strong track record across all media platforms. In a career spanning more than 20 years I have written for national newspapers, magazines, television, business and social media. I have ghost-written for a leading Channel 4 actress and recently secured a publishing deal for an educational book.
An all-round creative thinker, I am versatile, professional and reliable, always delivering above and beyond expectations to deadline and budget. I also have a vast network of valuable contacts across the media.
I have worked at the highest level as a documentary producer director and series producer for all the terrestrial broadcasters, wth a long and impressive list of broadcast credits to my name.
Due to my background in journalism and documentary-making, I am a highly skilled and effective interviewer and communicator with excellent editorial skills.
I now bring my credentials to the business arena, offering creative solutions and content to marketing and sales teams - most recently of a major restaurant group, consisting of 33 sites UK-wide. I handled all press and PR, securing national media exposure - including national newspaper spreads and a recent mention on the Chris Evans breakfast show. I managed social media content (more than doubling the number of followers) and securing a publishing deal. I handled all internal and external communications, PR, writing press releases and designed the concept for a new in-house magazine.
