I am an independent consultant, and I've been helping organisations shape political and policy conversations for close to 20 years.I live at the intersection of politics, society, data and digital technology. Specifically, I advise organisations operating in politically-sensitive environments, about strategic communications, digital campaigns and storytelling.Trained as a political journalist in the early 2000s, I've been on the front line of the digital revolution from the outset. In a career which has taken me from journalist to strategic advisor, via government communicator and digital strategist, I have played my part in pioneering the digital public affairs and policy communications industries.Over the last two decades, both the nature and the shape of the public debate have been transformed by digital technologies. Over that same period, the evolving focus of my work has reflected the digital innovations of the day – from journalism to digital content, to social media, to analytics and paid campaigns, to strategy and advocacy.Now AI is set to transform our information environment once again, organisations are going to need experienced advisors to help them navigate the disruption of the next few years.I typically work with:- Companies operating in politicised sectors- Public affairs consultancies- NGOs & advocacy groups- High net-worth individuals.
