freelance communications consultant
 

Hello, I'm Robbie.

I'm a freelance communications consultant based in London, working with agencies and organisations that need senior PR, content and crisis strategy without the cost of a permanent hire. Over almost two decades I've built digital PR programmes that earned tens of thousands of pieces of national coverage, taken a challenger health brand to number one share of voice in its category and led influencer campaigns that delivered measurable revenue. My focus now is on communications that work as hard in AI search as they do in traditional media, so the strategy I build today is designed to hold up as the way people find information keeps changing.
