Clients and Testimonials

What clients say

Anna Ward, Global Head of PR, Herbert Smith Freehills

‘Anne taught a session on handling crises and sensitive issues for our global communications senior team, and the feedback was unanimously positive. The training focussed on practical communications advice, based on real-life examples, and the inter-active part of the session gave the group a real challenge to work on.  We learned a lot. Anne also made a valuable contribution to a subsequent firmwide crisis management scenario exercise. ‘

Sabyasachi Sen, Regional Vice President, Financial Services, Salesforce

‘A big thanks from me and the team for your wonderful session. The structure, content and delivery was very well received and the feedback has been excellent. ‘

Elspeth Wales, Head of PR and Communications, Burges Salmon

‘Anne has provided us with strategic and tactical communications advice over a number of years and brought a practical and discreet approach, in-depth knowledge of the legal market, and an understanding of the firm which was very helpful to us.’

Sarah Goulbourne, Co-Founder, gunnercooke

‘Anne advised us on PR and brand positioning in our early days and, more recently, led some well-received workshops at our Annual Symposium to advise gunnercooke partners on building their personal professional brand.’ 

Meg Sullivan, Founder, The Quorum Initiative

‘Anne has brought a wealth of knowledge and contacts to supporting Quorum in London and has been an energetic ambassador for us.  Her training sessions in NYC and London on building a personal professional brand have been invaluable to our members. Our community seeks Anne out for sage advice on positioning yourself in the market and communicating effectively.’
