Over the years, I've been able to develop several bespoke training modules which enable brands to identify key online influencers that are currently talking about themes relevant to their sector.Whether your brand is looking to make the most out of Twitter, Instagram or Facebook or is in need of integrating social media into your company’s SEO strategy, I can help you navigate the world of online engagement, delivering against key measurable objectives that touch all parts of your organisation.

I’m genuinely excited to have been appointed as co-chair of the PRCA’s Diversity Network, as it is an important topic that I have been championing throughout my career within the PR industry. Working alongside Pema Seely, I’m keen to build upon the PRCA’s continuing mission to promote diversity across our wide network of members.As an industry, we’ve made some progress in breaking down historic barriers to inclusivity but there is a lot more work for us to do to get to where we need to be.Pema has worked tirelessly to raise awareness around best-practice diversity guidelines that directly address the current representational imbalances that are present in PR. Being able to channel her limitless energy, drive and motivation makes the challenge ahead a lot more exciting for me in my new role as co-chair of the Diversity Network.

Whilst at Catalysis, I successfully headed up the consumer technology division which I grew and developed with the support of my team. The subsequently named "Vibe" brand built on the successes of Catalysis within the technology sector whilst consciously differentiating itself from traditional media relations strategy used by the agency. By using emerging social trends such as blogging, moblogging, podcasting (audio and video), social networking websites, SMS and street theatre, I managed not only to consult existing clients on building online consumer loyalty, but was also able to secure several new clients (sourced, pitched and won) during my first year at Catalysis. Accounts: ShoZu, 82ASK, Shazam, face-pic.com, Edge (educational charity), Intel Retail, Intel Solution Services, BT Wholesale and Socialight.

During my time here, I was responsible for writing the UK and European PR Strategies across five regions, dealing with journalists, online advertising bodies and news content web-portals. I was also responsible for highlighting vertical channels through which to launch B2B PR streams, one of which included the charity sector. I developed my knowledge of pay-per-click (PPC) advertising models as well as revenue sharing schemes from the search engine sector.
