Strategic communications that accelerate growth

I'm a marketing consultant and fractional CMO working with professional services and energy companies as well as creative agencies who want to make the most of business growth opportunities.

For agencies: Fresh perspective on client challenges plus overflow capacity when you're stretched
For growing businesses: Strategic support with both big-picture thinking and hands-on execution
For professional services: Technical communication expertise that makes complex services accessible

How I Help

Growth marketing

Messaging that connects what you do to what people actually need. Content strategy, PR that people want to read, and campaigns that deliver real results.

Strategic communications

Internal comms during changes, external stakeholder engagement, reputation management, and getting everyone moving in the same direction.

Content and copywriting

Technical writing that makes complex stuff accessible, thought leadership content, proposals that win, and campaign content that lands.

Fractional CMO support

Marketing strategy, team mentoring, campaign planning, and performance measurement for growing businesses. All without the salary commitment of an in-house colleague.

Legal, consulting, financial services—translating technical expertise for broader audiences

Energy and engineering

Oil and gas, renewables, technical services—clear, strategic communication for complex projects

Regional agencies and consultancies

Strategic communications FAQs

How does this work if I'm an agency?

Partnership, not competition. I work as an extension of your team — overflow capacity, fresh perspective, or specific projects while you focus on what you do best.

How do you price projects?

Depends what you need. Clear quote upfront, ongoing communication about where things are — no invoice is a surprise. That's a promise.

Do you only work with certain industries?

I have the most experience in professional services, energy companies, and technical businesses. That said, if you've got interesting communication challenges I can help with, let's talk.

How hands-on are you?

As hands-on as you need. Sometimes you want strategic direction and I step back. Sometimes you need someone to roll up their sleeves and write the content. I adapt to how you work, not the other way around.
