Clients
Arabian Adventures, Part of the Emirates Group
Arabian Adventures is the leading destination management company in the Middle East. As
part of this ongoing project, I created an editorial program that reinvigorated their promotional
and sales material and designed content for their first-ever website. This led to extensive
work across the entire Emirates Group. I have also provided everything from press releases
to full-length articles, case studies and corporate profiles that have helped define them as a
business. During this time, I played a key role in them winning the highest award in their
industry, the SITE Crystal Award for Excellence, on multiple occasions.
“You make a habit out of exceeding our expectations.” Justine Thomas, Director, Arabian
Adventures, Meetings, Incentives and Events, part of the Emirates Group
Bacardi Global
Bacardi is the world’s largest privately owned spirits company and one of the most
recognisable names in the industry. On their behalf, I’ve provided editorial insight and
expertise that’s helped make their online content more compelling and topical, as well as
reputation-boosting articles for senior company figures.
“Always professional. Always original.” Dickie Cullimore, Global Brand Ambassador,
Bacardi Ltd
Abacus Marketing, London
Founded in 2015, Abacus is an integrated agency, specialising in marketing through
evocative storytelling. As well as consulting on their sales and communication strategy, I
helped develop internal documents on brand personality and philosophy, as well as client
proposals and presentations.
“Amazing work. It felt as if we were perfectly aligned.” Stephen Taylor-Brown, Founder and
Lead Consultant.
BTP Advisors
On behalf of this international company that handles public relations for a select group of
high-profile clients, I have interviewed and written for three world leaders as well as numerous
figures in the public eye. Content created on their behalf has featured in titles like the Wall
Street Journal and Business Insider, as well as in regional titles across three continents. This
role requires the utmost discretion, the ability to put clients at ease and produce results that
are unique in style and purpose.
“Excellent as always.” Mark Pursey, CEO, BTP Advisors
The Tasting Class, Dubai
Founded by the first female Sommelier in the Middle East, The Tasting Class is an alcohol
education company that has become one of the most respected wine training resources in
the UAE. As the only company in the Emirates trusted to provide the WSET qualification and
the creator of the country’s first national wine festival, The Tasting Class has built its
reputation on expert content and clear communications, much of which I have provided. This
has led to them dominating the search rankings in their region and helped place their founder
on a coveted list of industry influencers.
“Wonderful work created by a lovely person who really understands our business. I couldn’t
be more impressed.” Lindsay Trivers, Founder, The Tasting Class
Much Better Adventures
Independent travel company Much Better Adventures offers award-winning adventure
holidays around the globe. With hundreds of tours and packages on their books, they needed
a way to make their products stand out in a highly competitive sector. To achieve this, I
consulted with them on their aims and then created more than 250 pages of website content
designed to inspire the imagination and ultimately increase sales, alongside social media
articles to promote their trips organically.
“We could not be more pleased with everything you’ve achieved.”
Managing Director, Much Better Adventures.
