Business Consultant

Occasionally, and often without reason, creative communication projects can come unstuck; mired in creative tensions, confused by lack of direction or, like our fish, just a little lost!


With projects like these, an independent, experienced voice can analyse, effectively, the business challenges involved, arbitrate a renewed sense of purpose and re-establish a clear direction. The alternative? Well, probably, more frustration and a costly experience of barren deserts!


My experience, over twenty years of engagement within the creative industries, has shown me that no situation is intractable or without reward. Given space, and maybe a clearer view from some distance, every creative challenge has a right solution.




How can I help?

• Research and define a clear strategic briefing;

•
Shape an effective corporate/marketing communications programme.

• Select a panel of capable professional creative resources;

• Guide an organisation to negotiate optimum fee arrangements, and

• Establish creative and project performance criteria.

I can offer an independent voice -
a voice you can trust, a discreet professional who brings extensive experience and incisive insight to finding the right path for projects lost in desert sands!
