About Emma

After working agency-side, including as a Managing Director, I now support clients with brand and campaign strategy, creative thinking and solving tricky problems. I’m often brought in when things are unclear, off-track or need shaping into something focused and actionable.

That might mean developing a campaign, refining a pitch, positioning a show or helping a team get unstuck. I also work with clients on broader business challenges where a strategic and creative solution is needed.

Where I can help:
- Brand, campaign and content strategy
- Creative direction and messaging
- Pitch and proposal support
- Consultancy and problem solving
- A flexible perspective wherever it’s most useful

I work collaboratively with in-house teams and agencies. If you’ve got something complex, time-sensitive or just need a second brain, I’d love to chat.
