Whether it’s press office support during busy periods or creating a communications strategy from scratch, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Not certain about what you’re looking for? No problem, we can find creative solutions together.Strategic communications
It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it and when. Through creative, audience-friendly campaigns, I can help your organisation connect with supporters or clients, building trust and recognition.
Content creation
Stories are the magic ingredient that brings a campaign to life. Evoking emotions that make your business memorable, I can develop a narrative that intrigues, inspires and excites.
PR and media relations
From reactive press office support to help developing a PR strategy, I’ll work with your team to identify news hooks, write press releases, compile target lists, and pitch stories.
Copywriting
Words have the power to inform, confuse, inspire or offend. So, whether it’s writing an impact report, newsletter or adding a shot of creative flair to a speech, I can help you find the right words.
Storytelling and case study development
Demonstrate the difference you make by personal testimony. From a beneficiary’s experience to an example of a great collaboration, I can source, interview, and write emotive, compelling case studies.
Internal communications
Good communications defines purpose and initiates dialogue with and between employees, fostering creativity and motivating productivity particularly through times of change.
Crisis communications
From code of conduct issues, redevelopment projects and cybercrime to inquests and investigations. I can work with you to develop a communications plan for a range of scenarios, provide a sounding board, or help prepare key spokespeople.
Media training
Media interviews can be daunting for spokespeople and beneficiaries sharing their experiences. I can work with individuals or small groups to help prepare them for interviews, learn basic interview techniques, and increase confidence.

Susan Fiddian
Senior Manager, RNIB“Stacey is a creative and talented PR professional who goes the extra mile to get results. I have worked with her on many projects and she always strives to find a new angle that will get coverage and then some! I could always rely on her to see a project through from conception to evaluation and be sure that it achieved the highest possible results and that stakeholders were happy.”
Imogen Tinkler
Founder, Bangers and Balls“Working with Stass was an absolute joy. She is creative, engaging, thinks of ideas others don’t, and is a joy to be around which always makes work more fun.
She achieved PR we didn’t think was possible – from working with Waterstones on a Guinness World Record to securing the masthead in the Daily Mail for a Moles Sunrise Giveaway with Walker Books and Waterstones and then Lidl. It was amazing. We secured Stephen Fry to talk about the campaign on Twitter, and the Guardian awarded us Best Children’s Event for our pop up Alice in Wonderland on the bank of the Thames. This was down to Stacey and the energy, focus and creativity she brought to the team.”
