Maroon PR & Communications

I’m a senior level sole practitioner who can help you with a diverse range of communications projects or filling that unexpected short-term gap in your team.

Starting out as a journalist, trade publishing editor and a published author, it’s no surprise that I’m a plain-English champion. I deliver effective communications by working strategically and developing strong stakeholder relationships. This allows me to navigate complex organisations, providing that pivotal connection between communications teams, business groups and leaders.

I specialise in working with public sector organisations but have also helped out small private sector companies. I’m able to work in your office or mine, part or full-time or set hours per project.

Some areas where I can help include:

• change and crisis communication and generalist communications projects
• strategic scoping and planning
• publishing and design project management ꟷ print, digital, video
• internal and corporate communications
• editorial services, writing and editing ꟷ reports, style guides
• proactively building profile and brand including media releases
• content for web and intranet, case studies and website reviews
• marketing communications
