Freya Simms Email & Phone Number

Specialising in the art market, my career began as press officer for Christie’s Auction House. In the intervening years I also worked in-house for both Bonhams and Sotheby’s where I worked across Marketing, Press & Special Events. On the agency side I earned my spurs at Focus PR where I was an Associate Director working across art and luxury brands including the Fine Art and Antiques Fair at Olympia, The British Luxury Council, The Affordable Art Fair and Ceramic Art London. It was from there that I moved client-side to Clarion in 2005 to be Fair Director, managing all aspects of the renowned Art and Antiques fairs portfolio held at the Olympia Exhibition Centre. In May 2010, I founded Muse, the communications consultancy for the arts, luxury and design sectors, which won the Queen’s Award for Excellence in Enterprise in 2014. Key clients included The Burlington Arcade, launching made.com and consulting on the development of Frieze Masters as well as working on major cultural events including Masterpiece London, TEFAF, London Craft Week and Collect. I am also co-founder of Golden Squared Consulting and a Board member of PAIAM (Professional Advisors to the International Art Market), www.paiam.org , A member of RAM (Responsible Art Market) and AWITA (Association of Women in the Arts).

Listed skills include Strategic Communications, Event Management, Copywriting, Public Relations, and 22 others.
