Our team of integrated PR and Marketing professionals are passionate about our areas of specialism, all the time delivering strategic, results driven campaigns for our clients. As Founder & CEO I am responsible for directing PR campaigns for some of the most well-known names in the worlds of luxury lifestyle and hospitality. In addition, I oversee the day to day operations of GHCAsia to ensure that our clients continue to receive the best possible levels of service.

I established my first PR agency in Hong Kong in 1993. Our clients included The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and The Web Connection (later sold to Chinadotcom, at the time one of the worlds largest dotcom IPO's). We also worked on regular editorial projects for the International Herald Tribune (IHT) and the then influential and editorially independent Eastern Express daily newspaper.In 1997, we merged with Lynn D Grebstad & Associates to form Grebstad Hicks Communications, now GHC Asia.

I was part of the team of reporters for Reportage, a brash 90's youth current affairs TV series. Described as creative and non-conformist, the weekly programme regularly broke news stories and introduced new trends. The show was edited by legendary TV personality Janet Street-Porter and won countless awards. Reportage spoke to youth in an often uncompromising language that they understood and was hugely influential.

I first came to Hong Kong after graduating from Oxford University as an intern for the TV section of RTHK, Hong Kong's publicly funded broadcasting service. I was quickly offered a permanent position as an assistant producer and soon found myself producing and reporting my own TV segments. Over 3 years I was a presenter and producer on regular news format shows including Hong Kong classic weekly TV shows 'All About Us', 'Hong Kong Now' and 'Seven Days'. After three years in this role, I returned to the UK where I worked for the BBC.
