SERVICES

My services range from one-off projects to ongoing retainers. For specific deliverables, I have a great network of preferred partners to work with or I’m happy to work with any existing teams.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

I provide all the building blocks you need to bring your vision to life, whether a new restaurant concept, business idea or product.

BRAND REFRESH

Sometimes brands benefit from external guidance or evaluation, leading to a brand refresh. This may be to help consolidate and verbalise the brand identity or updating their core message.

Whether you need help pitching to investors or preparing a brand for a global rollout, I can assist at each stage of the process

PRODUCTION

I can project manage all aspects of a new business launch cohesively to maximise PR value and impact.

CREATIVE MANAGEMENT

I am experienced in the process required to produce high level collateral for magazine and on-screen.

I work with various designers to project manage the creative process in order to deliver assets that fit into the wider direction of the brand.

BIO

  • Communications & Media Degree, Bournemouth University Media School of Excellence (2008)

 

  • Magazine Journalism, NCTJ accreditation (2009)

 

  • Brand Workshop Leader, Misha Zelman's School of Success - (Ongoing)

 

 

  • Expert Panelist, Brand Us Social, Mayfair Hotel (2014)
     

  • Best "Identity" for Beast Restaurant, Restaurant & Bar Design Awards (2015)

After graduating, I interned for companies including Bauer Media, Revlon and Action for Children, in communications and PR. In 2009, I moved to Australia and took a position as Copywriter for Marketing Warehouse, a boutique retail marketing and production agency based in Sydney. I was promoted to work as producer alongside the Creative Director, discovering a passion and talent for turning a creative concept into a beautifully executed reality. I was mentored by Carol Angelosanto, a prominent figure in the industry and head of the ICSC. 

 

After over two years in Sydney I returned to London where I was recruited by George Bukhov, CEO of Burger & Lobster, as a freelance specialist to pull together an important Vision & Values brand piece. After taking on more responsiblity within Burger & Lobster, I was promoted to Head of Marketing for the Burger & Lobster and wider Goodman (GCG) restaurant group.

 

During the next few years, three brand new restaurant concepts were launched under my careful direction. At the same time, I was working to grow Burger & Lobster to a global brand, which required a huge amount of internal work to ensure the concept was ready to be rolled out. After selecting a new marketing team to take over the reins at Burger & Lobster, I moved to GCG to work alongside owner, Misha Zelman, on new concept development.

 

During that time I realised that my specialities of curating and designing a new product, interpreting a vision and bringing it to life, combined to fit a gap in the market. I set up as a consultant, to become more involved in the business development of new brands and take on new clients, as well as continuing to work with Misha and GCG.
