I currently consult with one of the UK’s largest companies, but at the same time I have worked under the umbrella of a number of PR and marketing agencies. I have worked on projects internationally for foreign clients but also on smaller ones closer to home. I have worked on full scale campaigns for some companies and for others it’s just a quick telephone call or email exchange for my opinion.
