    I’m extremely comfortable presenting credentials, participating in new business pitches, or appearing on speaker panels. I can build strategic and creative presentations that engage and ignite.

    Through a content audit process, inclusive of stakeholder interviews, SWOT analysis and competitive sets, I create content strategies that ensure clarity and consistent tone of voice.

    I can construct the right environments for creative, collaborative thinking that balance commercial drivers with customer desires. I use raw talent to create unique, effective solutions.

    I’ve worked on numerous global contracts, and can lead on client negotiations and project management. With a highly creative background I can both contribute and direct.

  • Team leadership

    I have vast experience in motivating creative teams, with a focus on creating task-based autonomy within a structured, objective-driven working environment.

Delivering diverse projects…

I have a varied skill-set, within both creative and management, and can support or lead on a wide range of projects.

Testimonials

“ I worked with Claire England for 8 years when she ran John Brown Media in the UAE to great success. She is a true leader and possesses an astute understanding of the complexities of running a profitable business whilst also creating very loyal relationships with both clients and her staff. In addition to running the business in the UAE, Claire helped launch John Brown Media in India, prospecting and negotiating with clients in Mumbai and Bangalore with impressive results. I would highly recommend Claire as a valuable asset to any pitch or project.”
