COPYWRITING
PROJECT MANAGEMENT (INTERIM PERSON)
TRAINING
I flipping love copy writing. I'll write you anything; social media posts, decks, pitches, fundraising bids, press releases, websites, annual reviews, marketing copy, speeches, case studies. Anything.
Need anything written quickly and well, give me a shout.
I've spent over 20 years successfully developing and delivering marketing and fundraising strategies, campaigns, projects and led effective teams. And I've worked with quite a few big brands (to name drop a few; Marks & Spencer, Specsavers, Yakult). I know some stuff.
Someone gone off sick or gone to have a baby and need someone to fill the gap, give me a shout.
My specialist subjects are marketing (if you don't have a brand you have a commodity), fundraising (especially corporate), relationship management, storytelling, creativity and brainstorming. I also really, really like talking about branding and strategies. I'm a bit of a freak and I read a lot of business research plus I've got a few qualifications. I can tell you about the Ansoff Matrix. I can deliver training online or in the real, beautiful world. Give me a shout.
KEYNOTE OR PANEL SPEAKER
Public speaking is like marmite; you love it or hate it. I love it. Get up in front of an audience, engage them and talk about things that interest me? Yes please.
Had someone let you down or need someone who can please the crowd? Or just want me? Give me a shout.
Managing events is like juggling balls, you need to be able to keep lots of different balls in the air and have all the right activities scheduled, as well as make sure everyone knows what they're doing and where they need to be... and then be on hand to catch a dropped ball. I stretched the metaphor too much there... give me a shout if you need an Event Manager.
STRATEGY AND PLANNING DEVELOPMENT
EVENT MANAGEMENT
Strategy and planning is both an art and a science. They're important considerations because they help define where you're going, what you're doing and what you want to achieve. But it can be difficult, especially when you have lots of different voices with different priorities. I can help, give me a shout. I'm good at working out fundraising propositions too.
