Everyone loves a good story
Hello
I’m Joanne and I love stories. So, here’s mine.
I’ve played and worked with words my whole life, from writing stories to go with pictures I’d draw as a child, to training as a journalist.
I worked in public sector communications for 15 years before becoming a freelance communications consultant. I now work with all kinds of organisations including local authorities, government agencies, charities and businesses.
I’ve led award-winning and nationally recognised behaviour change and awareness-raising campaigns. I’ve managed teams and major projects on topics including outdoor recreation, tourism, climate, nature, active travel, water safety, planning, housing, education and much more.
I bring experience and enthusiasm to everything I do, providing a trusted and supportive pair of hands to deliver great communications that achieves its objectives.
Things I love to do
Translating tricky topics
Weaving clear narratives through complex copy
Injecting energy and ideas into campaigns
Developing successful communications strategies
Training and mentoring others to deliver great comms
More about me
Away from work I’m a converted PE dodger who now runs long distances on the trails and enjoys recovering in cold water, mainly around the west of Scotland where I’m based.
