DETAILED // GUIDING
“Ann helps guide, challenge and develop our own thoughts and ideas, not by telling, but asking questions. Helping us to find the right solutions, both in terms of the high-level business strategy, but also just as willing to assist with the detailed wording of marketing materials. Both tasks are tackled with equal thought, enthusiasm and that essential attention to detail.”
Roger Bracewell, Chairman GA Pet Food Partners
INTELLECT // COACHING
“It isn’t just Ann’s intellect that sets her apart, but her ability to work with everyone of our colleagues, at every level of our business, coaching them to align to our strategic vision.”
“Ann has humanised (and dare I say modernised) our B2B manufacturing Brand, ensuring we tell our story and become closer to all our stakeholders.”
Georgina Sims-Stirling, Communications Director, GA Pet Food Partners
ANALYTICAL // INTUITIVE
“Working with Ann is like a breath of fresh air. She is one of those unique people who can bring to fruition an effective brand that captures the essence of an organisation and the positive results it generates for its customers. “
“We chose to work with her as she demonstrated a real understanding of our growth strategy and our rebrand challenges after a series of company acquisitions across Europe. She placed customer needs at the centre, interviewing them and our staff as well as gaining an extensive understanding of our industry. From presenting at board level to speaking with our customers to briefing creatives, Ann is a hands-on brand expert with an intuitive design sense combined with deep analytical thinking. “
Louise Pasterfield, Director of Strategy, Marketing & Communications at Sponge
QUESTIONING // CREATIVE
“I’ve worked with Ann throughout my career on a number of brand and marketing strategy projects, for multi-billion pound and FTSE100 companies. With multiple stakeholders and varying levels right up to the CEO, nothing phases Ann; if anything it spurs her on.”
“Ann takes the time to listen, break down the challenge, and relay in simple terms the task ahead. Her bigger picture mentality with marketing prowess and creative flair is a winning combination.”
“Ann just gets it. You will be in safe hands. “
Lucy Jarjoura, Senior Global Marketing Manager, Dyson
(worked with Ann whilst Head of Marketing at Travis Perkins & at British Sugar/BP)
DIRECTED // DESIGNED
“Ann worked with me on a full rebrand for Sponge, and I valued how quickly she got underneath the skin of the company, helped to set a position in the market when things were still very much in flux, and directed a design team to evolve an aesthetic, navigating some rather strong characters!”
“Ann is a great person to have on your team.”
Kate Pasterfield, Head of Innovation and Co-Founder, Sponge.
