Hire the Best Internal Communications Specialists
in the United Kingdom

I am a Corporate Communications professional with 11+ years of experience helping startups, founders, and global companies communicate with clarity and impact. My background spans B2B PR, executive communications, content strategy, and thought leadership across organisations including Experian, ANDRITZ Group, and scaling startups operating in the Americas and EMEA. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and an MBA in Marketing, alongside a Master's degree from the University of Westminster (UK). Throughout my career, I've translated complex, technical, and data-heavy topics into content that engages customers, employees, investors, and the media. My expertise includes executive ghostwriting for CEOs and founders, LinkedIn thought leadership, blog articles (SEO/AEO), newsletters, website copy, eBooks, press releases, media relations, internal communications, employer branding, and strategic content planning. Whether you need a single piece of content or an end-to-end communications strategy, I focus on creating content that is authentic, commercially relevant, and aligned with your business goals. REGARDING MY UPWORK PROFILE I'm new to Upwork, which is why I'm currently building my profile here. To do that, I'm offering my services at a competitive rate while delivering the same level of quality I've provided to startups and multinational organisations.

WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE I combine the strategic thinking of a communications manager with a passion with data and business acumen skills, combined with strong writing skills of a professional copywriter and ghostwriter. I don't just write, I learn your voice, understand your audience, and create content that people actually want to read, share, and engage with. Whether you're building your personal brand, launching a product, or growing your company's visibility, my goal is to make your message stand out and earn media.

Freelance PR consultant and CPD-certified AI trainer, working with B2B technology and enterprise organisations across the UK and internationally. Ten years in-house and agency, now delivering senior PR and communications as a senior external partner. I work with organisations that need senior communications thinking without adding a permanent hire. That typically means fractional PR leadership, ongoing retainer partnerships, or fixed-fee projects for specific moments like funding rounds, product launches or building visibility in AI-driven search. What I do – Senior PR consultancy and fractional PR leadership for B2B tech and enterprise organisations – Media relations across UK, European and international trade and business press – Executive thought leadership, LinkedIn content and long-form editorial – Category positioning and strategic communications counsel – AI search visibility and GEO strategy, including dedicated audit and citation-building work – Pre-announcement campaigns for funding rounds, product launches and major milestones – AI for PR training workshops for in-house and agency communications teams Sector experience 10 years across B2B technology (SaaS, enterprise software, deep tech, AI, fintech), industrial and engineering, space and aerospace, creative industries, and health and life sciences. The common thread is organisations operating in technical or complex categories, where communications needs to translate specialist detail into commercial narrative. How I work Engagements are led and delivered by me directly. Clients work with one senior consultant throughout, from first conversation through to ongoing delivery. No account manager layer, no junior team running the activity, no blended rate. AI and modern PR I'm a CPD-certified AI trainer and use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini every day in live PR work. Earned media and third-party citations are now the primary inputs into how organisations appear in AI-driven search, which makes PR more strategically important than it has been in years.

Does your content sound too generic, too technical, or obviously AI-generated? I help businesses turn complex, awkward or AI-generated content into writing that is clear, credible and genuinely human. For more than 25 years, I have edited and produced content for professional audiences across technology, healthcare, compliance, business, finance, news and specialist publishing. I can help with: • Editing AI-generated content so it sounds natural and professionally written • Making technical and complex subjects easier to understand • Editing reports, white papers and research content • Improving structure, clarity, flow and readability • Fact-checking and identifying unsupported or questionable claims • Editing newsletters and improving content selection and headlines • Reviewing thought leadership and executive content • Providing a senior editorial perspective on your content and editorial processes I don't simply correct grammar. I look at whether the content is actually working: Is the argument clear? Does the structure make sense? Does it sound like a real person wrote it? Is the tone appropriate for the audience? Is the content engaging enough to hold attention? Are there unnecessary repetitions, generic phrases or AI-style formulations? Does the writing establish credibility? Some relevant results and experience: • Increased newsletter open rates from 16–18% to 36–41% through editorial restructuring, audience-focused content selection and improved headline strategy. • Served as a Senior Domain Expert and Occupational Reviewer on AI-model evaluation projects for Mercor Solutions, San Francisco. • Top 1% of certified domain experts (journalism--reporting, writing and editing) at Micro1. • Founded and led a specialist publishing company, publishing a leading medical title and successfully selling its flagship publication. • Edited and produced newsletters, reports, features, white papers and thought leadership for professional audiences. • Winner of the Financial Times Publications Editorial Award. • Copy editor of the team shortlisted for writing the Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year. • Runner-up in the UK Corporate Publishing Awards as Editor for Best Staff Newspaper. I am particularly useful when you have important content that is technically accurate but needs a senior editor to make it clearer, more engaging and more human. If your content needs to sound less like AI and more like a knowledgeable professional wrote it, I can help.
