Telling stories is baked into her DNA after a decade working in public relations, where the success factor for a story isn’t your own judgement, but that of a journalist who decides to print it.
Transferring these skills to her own business in 2011, Louise has helped companies from SMEs to PLCs tell their stories. She’s written winning award entries for uSwitch, Yorkshire Water, a mobile phone network, local authorities, NHS Trusts, one of the UK’s largest and oldest construction companies, and one of the world’s largest outsourcers.
