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.
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.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ADVISORY
As a communications advisor there are a few ways to work with me and sometimes they overlap
AGENCY FOUNDER MENTOR & ADVISOR
IN HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ADVISOR
HIGH STAKES COMMUNICATIONS ADVISOR
Building an agency is one thing. Building it while leading a team, serving clients, and often raising a family is another entirely.
Sometimes the team isn't delivering and it's not immediately clear why.
High stakes moments need experience, agility and perspective. A crisis, a leadership change, an M&A process, a personnel issue.
I bring an unusual combination: agency co-founder, coach, and senior client who appointed and oversaw around £10m in agency spend.
I work across commercial and operational strategy, organisational structure, and the leadership challenges that come with growth.
As hands-on and as client and team-facing as the situation requires. Honest advice, client-side insight and mentorship.
I work with founders and leaders who need an objective view of their communications function: whether that's right-sizing the team, reviewing agency relationships, clarifying roles, or rebuilding confidence in the function altogether.
I bring the same client-side perspective that comes from building and leading in-house teams, and from the other side of the table, appointing and managing agencies. As hands-on and as team-facing as situations demand.
I bring over three decades building and leading communications functions inside scaling founder-led and complex established organisations, including preparing a business for IPO and steering messaging through major transformation programmes.
I work across crisis response, executive positioning, change communications, and stakeholder engagement, drawing on direct experience 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
