What our clients say
Lisa has helped us hit the right tone with copy for our new website, done proofreading on a key tender submission, and even brainstormed with us for our new mission statement. She was enthusiastic about our business and quickly grasped the style of communication we wanted.
Sam Hardy, Managing Director, Peak Marketing
Lisa planned and carried out a corporate video for us and featuring one of our clients. She looked after everything from end to end, and we found her and the cameraperson to have the highest professional standards. When it came to the interviews, Lisa demonstrated a fast grasp of the complexities of our business.
Paul Ryan, CEO, Trust Codes
We have used Lisa for media training for a number of years for key clients and she never lets us down. The clients always enjoy the training and debrief and come away confident in their media dealings.
Lisa makes this serious subject fun, but always makes sure we get what we wanted.
