Nonprofits do important work. How that work looks and sounds affects whether funders, partners and the public understand it.
I work with nonprofits, NGOs, foundations and social enterprises in three areas. Communication with external stakeholders. Donor communications and fundraising. Internal communications and building the team's own capability.
The aim is practical. Improved visibility and trust. More successful fundraising. An internal team that is competent and empowered.
I bring over 25 years of agency and in-house creative leadership experience across the social sector, education, healthcare, government and finance.
Work with me
Three ways to work together. Each is built around how nonprofits and mission-driven organisations actually operate: small teams, tight budgets, and a lot of audiences to keep informed.
A single mission-driven project with a clear scope and an end date.
A rebrand, an annual or impact report, a donor campaign, a case for support. I lead it from brief to delivery, working with your team and your suppliers, and hand it over in a form your team can keep using.
Ongoing senior brand direction for nonprofits, NGOs and foundations.
For organisations that need a creative director but can’t justify a full-time one. I set direction, support your team, and keep how you look and sound consistent across donors, partners and the public.
Creative direction for agencies working with nonprofit and social impact clients.
For studios that have won or are pitching for a mission-driven client and need someone who knows the sector. I bring experience of how funders, boards and programme teams read and judge communications.
