Press Advisor
A media advisor to the highest profile politician in Yorkshire for a decade means I understand the political landscape locally and nationally. What needs to be considered, why and when.
Providing media advice and judgement around anything public affairs or media related means I know when you need to be front and centre and when its sensible to be more reserved.
If you need specific media or press advice on a specific issue, I am perfectly placed to help with that.
Or if you feel your leadership team need specific press advice this is something I am hugely experienced in. Providing media advice is a highly specialised skill and one I have done across a wide range of high profile contentious stories for decades.
Under significant pressure and in fast moving situations including stories that have become the focus of global interest.
How I can help...
- My breadth of experience and skillset means I can provide expert media advice in situations needing a fast time response in high profile pressured situations.
- The confidence and trust in your organisation depends on those first few minutes and hours, and how the days pass.
- This is when expert media guidance and advice is essential which is where I can help.
- With specialised briefings ensuring you feel supported and prepared for the questions that will legitimately will be asked in the public interest.
- A lorry containing 39 fatalities discovered in Kent with the subsequent human trafficking investigation, a Prime Minister’s visit to Police Headquarters mired in controversy, knife crime incidents where people have tragically died, have all involved me providing expert media advice to those responsible for delivering messages of reassurance to communities.
- I provide incisive, direct, well balanced, measured and nuanced advice, taking into account the political landscape and nuances of what is needed and when it is needed, making your communications as impactful as possible.
- Bringing the public and partners with you is vital, as your community or organisation recovers from what has happened.
- Leadership need their communications to be considered and delivered in a way that resonates and gets to where it needs to be, in the right way, to the right people, at the right time.
- I can help you communicate in as impactful way to become part of the narrative and a trusted voice around what has happened, what is being done to tackle it, and how the organisation, or community will move forward.
- Devise strategies on how to best effectively communicate with communities in need of reassurance and information on an issue that may unfold or has unfolded.
- Losing the confidence of the public easily happens if the communication and details are not delivered by those in authority. A vacuum is created and this can and does happen. Especially in a fast moving situation where the facts are increasingly unclear.
