I help founders and leadership teams navigate the things that are genuinely hard. Communications under pressure, organisations going through change, and moments that call for clear-headed advice.
More than 35 years working in and alongside marketing communications consultancies and technology businesses means I've seen a lot of change, and it gives me a perspective few others can offer. Senior communications expertise, and the judgement that comes from having worked both sides of the table.
There are a few ways to work with me, and sometimes they overlap. (i) Agency founder advisor & mentor (ii) In house comms team advisor (iii) High stakes communications advisor.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ADVISORY
As a communications advisor there are a few ways to work with me and sometimes they overlap.
Building an agency is one thing. Building it while leading a team, serving clients, and often raising a family is another entirely.
AGENCY FOUNDER MENTOR & ADVISOR
I bring an unusual combination: agency co-founder and senior client who oversaw around £10m in agency spend. I work across commercial strategy, structure, and the leadership challenges of growth, as hands-on as the situation demands.
IN HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ADVISOR
I bring the same perspective from both sides: building and leading in-house teams, and appointing and managing agencies. Right-sizing, reviewing relationships, or rebuilding confidence in the function, as team-facing as situations demand.
Sometimes the team isn't delivering and it's not immediately clear why.
HIGH STAKES COMMUNICATIONS ADVISOR
High stakes moments need experience, agility and perspective. A crisis, a leadership change, an M&A process, a personnel issue.
Over three decades leading communications through IPOs, transformation, and crisis. I work across crisis response, executive positioning, and stakeholder engagement with media, regulators, and investors.
The impact of my work is best described by the people I've been lucky enough to work with. Here’s just a few;
“I have had the privilege of working closely with Nadia. I trust her implicitly and would consider her an asset to any business lucky enough to have her. She has tackled difficult projects, always with a positive, can-do attitude and a pragmatism that has seen her be successful time after time.”
RICHARD, FOUNDER & CEO
“Nadia has a remarkable ability to navigate complex projects while keeping every detail in focus. She brings clarity and confidence to decision-making, moving initiatives forward with real conviction. What stood out most was her collaborative approach. She brought people together, ensured voices were heard, and created an environment where everyone felt supported and empowered to succeed.”
DENISSE, MARKETING DIRECTOR
“Nadia brings a refreshingly human approach that helped us navigate communications challenges during a period of transformation. Her impact was immediate, delivering our group rebrand, sustainability programme success with industry awards, and strategic support through major changes with her authentic, relationship-focussed approach that I would recommend without hesitation.”
AARON, EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
