Making the Complex Simple

Whether you're promoting a product, building a brand or galvanising your people behind business transformation, your ability to shape highly strategic narratives that connect with and inspire your colleagues, customers and stakeholders will be key to your success.

So I turn complex strategy into clear, powerful narratives that drive business impact - often during periods of transformation when the stakes are highest.

With over 40 industry awards for strategic messaging, brand storytelling, high-value campaigns, films and live experiences, my work is valued by clients for the impact it has on their people, customers and businesses - driving growth and making a serious difference. And it's valued by audiences for its ability to surprise, delight and entertain alongside persuasive messaging.

Examples of my clients include EY, KPMG, HSBC, Citigroup, Samsung, BT/EE,  Imagination Technologies, General Motors, Toyota, Clifford Chance and Allwyn International plus leading advertising and brand experience agencies like VCCP, McCann London, Disney, Working Title, DRPG, Cheerful Twentyfirst and Jack Morton Worldwide.

Above all, I believe in the power of great stories to change things.
