Communications with depth

We live in a time where superficial, fast paced communications are dominating. There is no escaping this, but for real change to come about communications need to have depth.

​

I am a strategic communications advisor. I offer bespoke advice to clients on how to communicate evidence & ideas specialising in the not-for-profit, global development & think tank sectors. 

​

I am particularly interested in how insights from behavioural & political sciences can help us to change narratives, move conversations on and resolve conflict.
