Testimonials

Carl Newns, Director of National Resilience Communications, Cabinet Office:

Su is highly professional and very experienced, including working on sensitive and challenging international and national security issues, at the highest levels of Government, and at times with demanding and difficult customers.  

She is energetic, creative (sensibly) and highly diligent.  One of those people to whom you can just give a task with some broad guidance and they will go away and achieve exactly what you wanted, without fuss or drama, on time, and to a high standard.  

She is refreshingly free of BS, an authentic and grounded human being.  She is very self-aware, and has both an extrovert and engaging personality, and very high levels of empathy.  These make her good at what she does, and a pleasure to work with, whether you are her boss, client, peer, collaborator or subordinate.  

In short: I recommend her highly.

Andrew Pike CBE, former Director of GREAT Campaign, Prime Minister’s Office:

I first worked with Su during our time in government, where she was an excellent communications professional and a trusted colleague. She brought sound judgement, professionalism and a calm approach to handling complex and frequently sensitive issues, while always being collaborative and supportive of those around her.

We've remained in touch over the years and I've continued to see the same thoughtful, conscientious and people-focused approach. Su is someone who listens carefully, approaches challenges with integrity and empathy, and is genuinely committed to helping others achieve the right outcomes.

I have no hesitation in recommending Su to organisations looking for an experienced communications professional with excellent judgement, strong values and a kind and collaborative style.

Gideon Wilkins, EVP, Global Head of Commercial Intelligence, Truth Central

Susan is an excellent marketing leader. I've collaborated with her for 5 years on several campaigns. On the projects we have worked on, she has always shown a clear vision for making sure the research we conducted was inclusive, authentic and impactful.

With a wide, multi-stakeholder group of people involved, she gave the public a voice in the decision-making process while navigating the needs of different parts and people of the organisation. She also showed an empathy for, and commitment to, under-represented and excluded groups, amplifying the share of voice of those who are often unheard.

The campaign results of the work she led were remarkable, beating awareness and behavioural targets. Campaigns were recognised by multiple industry awards, celebrated for the impact and inclusion of the work (including being shortlisted for DMA Awards and the MRS Awards and winning an Effie).

I have had the pleasure of working with Su in her role as Head of Campaigns at the Electoral Commission, for the last two years and I can confidently say she is an outstanding client partner. Her open and honest communication style fosters an environment of trust and transparency, making every project a true partnership, and always with kindness and fun along the way.

Su has a remarkable ability to work seamlessly with agencies, understanding exactly how to leverage their strengths to deliver the best possible outcomes. This, combined with her strategic insight and clear vision, consistently results in campaigns that not only meet but exceed their objectives. The results truly speak for themselves.
