Reach a wider audience with external communications support
Whether you’re an academic with research to share or an institution that needs extra resources, I can help. I can manage and promote externally funded projects, take care of the complete production of prospectuses, orchestrate and deliver marketing campaigns and much more.
Feature articles
Whatever your source material – whether it’s an academic paper, a journal article or unpublished research – I can turn it into a lively, engaging article that explains your work. If you want to reach a mainstream audience, I can identify target publications to pitch your ideas to and write the article on your behalf.
Publications and campaigns
I have years of experience with public and private universities, creating recruitment campaigns and producing publicity material. I’ve written magazines for alumni, schools and services, and managed the production of full university prospectuses.
If you need help at a faculty level, I can help you to create a compelling, effective campaign and all the supporting material you need.
Video
Quality video content is a great way of sharing your research and ideas, and it doesn’t need a huge budget. I recorded these interviews on an iPhone and edited them with my desktop software: short, succcinct summaries to share on websites and social media.
Bids & proposals
Your plans for dissemination are a crucial requirement of all funding applications. I can help you to fulfil all the communications requirements in a way that works best for you. I can work with you on a consultancy basis, advising on the type of activities most appropriate for your project.
Or, I can take care of the whole communications package. I’ll work with you to produce the full strategy and delivery plan taking your resources into account to develop a plan that’s achievableand succssful. You can read more about strategies and proposals here.

Before we start work, we’ll clarify the agreed terms in writing. I charge a fixed fee for articles and videos. For all other work I have a day rate, applied in accordance with the type of work carried out. Consultancy is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum fee of 15 minutes. Larger projects are charged on a fixed fee basis based on the number of days I estimate will be required to complete the work.
All fees are agreed in advance and invoiced according to our individual agreement.
Invoicing and payment terms will depend on the duration and type of work involved. My fees and reporting are totally transparent and I can provide you with a breakdown of activity and costs at any time on request. Reporting requirements will be agreed in advance.
Much of my work is confidential. If you’d like to know more about my experience I’m happy to discuss it with you over an informal chat, or you can check my testimonials.
