My last seven years leading communications in-house for impact leader, Impetus, taught me much about the value of comms in improving a charity’s impact as well as reach. I created and led their comms forum, advising 17+ charities on their comms strategy and approach.
To really make a difference, I’ve learned that good comms must keep a tight focus on the end goal, always. And I’ve developed the clarity of thought it takes to do that. I’ve also learned to be ruthless; when resource is tight, only the right comms – that will actually help us achieve the end goal – will do.

"Lizzie got up to speed rapidly with what we needed, and swiftly took on responsibility. She worked collegiately and clearly with people inside and outside the organisation, and developed a plan that helped us map the path towards launching our new fund. She worked flexibly to a fixed deadline with agencies and partners on website, brand, press and social media, and played a big part in helping us to a very successful launch. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back to work again for us, or to recommend her to other organisations."
"What I've learned from Lizzie is that comms isn't just about words and messaging, it's about creating a feeling and being memorable. She has a creative approach which results in beautiful visuals which make reports and marketing materials sing and bring events to life. We did two brand projects together and I valued both her project management skills and eye for detail in all aspects of brand development."
"Lizzie has always been comfortable collaborating and exploring with you what is and isn’t possible from a communications and messaging perspective. She is always clear on what works, gleaned from her all-around skill-set and commitment to clear content, understanding audiences, and effective delivery. Lizzie is both a great professional and a genuinely lovely person to work with."
"Lizzie is very knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful and efficient. She has stretched our team to think deeply and differently. The workshops she facilitated in our organisation were inclusive, interactive and genuinely fun to be a part of, building real energy for the work across the team.
I strongly recommend Lizzie to others."
"Lizzie is a joy to work with: she is great at pulling a story out of complicated research findings as well as at leading an organisation through the process of identifying and communicating its key messages. In addition she's a brilliant team member, and a methodical, super-organised planner who brings a clear process to everything she does."
"Lizzie is one of those special people who comfortably combines operating at 30,000 feet offering profound strategic insights and smart planning ideas; with the ability to roll up her sleeves and dive into the delivery and detail. I can't recommend her more highly."
Lizzie is personable, easy to work with and has great clarity of thought. She's flexible, gets on with the job and takes initiative. She's been a great source of wisdom to the team, challenging their thinking too and I can clearly see that they've grown in both their skills and confidence in the time they've been working with her. Lizzie got what we were all about very quickly and brings together brilliantly skills of creativity to spark ideas, process to see projects through and then takes the team on the journey with her, ensuring whatever she sets her mind to is completed to a very high standard.
