PR and comms, delivered candidly
Good communication changes how people see your business. But figuring out what to say, who to say it to and where to say it can feel tricky. That's where honest, strategic support makes the difference.
That’s where I can help.

Communications made simple
PR and communications can feel like smoke and mirrors, especially if it’s not part of your day job.
But it doesn’t require huge budgets or teams, instead just a professional who knows how it works and takes the time to get to know your business.
That’s why I set up Candid Comms, to work with B2B businesses who are looking for PR and communications made simple.
A great communications strategy can change perception, change behaviour and change your business for the better.
But it can be hard to know where to start and which tactics are right for you. Big agency partnerships can be complicated or prohibitively expensive, and they don’t always take the time to help you understand the process. That’s where I can help.
Together we’ll deep dive into your business, build a narrative that feels authentic to you, choose the right tactics to engage key decision makers and in time change how your business is perceived for the better, in line with your long-term goals.
SERVICES
The support I provide breaks down into three strands - strategy, delivery and agency support.
We can mix and match based on your needs, so reach out with any specific requests.
Going in all guns blazing will get us nowhere, first we have to plan.
We’ll build a communications strategy, bespoke to you, that guides every decision, so we’re only progressing tactics that are right for you.
I’ll get stuck in with delivery across PR and media relations, content creation, BD support, campaign management, and event management.
If it aligns with our strategy and engages your key audiences, I’ll help deliver it
Having spent a decade in agency I know the value of a safe pair of hands. That’s what I’ll be for your team, someone to hit the ground running and get stuck in when you’re over capacity.
Sectors
While I can support any B2B business, I have particular expertise and experience in:
• Legal
• Financial and Professional Services
• Skills
• Tech
• Property and Construction
Need support with something else?
With nearly a decade in B2B agency means you'll be hard pressed to find a sector I don't have experience in - sustainable travel, balustrades, medical technology, commercial equipment, even doughnuts.

A commitment to candour
The name Candid Comms comes from my commitment to honesty and transparency.
During my decade in agency, I saw a gap in the market - ambitious businesses who wanted strategic PR and comms support, but who didn't know where to find it. They often thought big agencies were the only option, but they didn’t really understand the support they needed, and because of that, they didn’t get the results they wanted.
Being candid,
I wanted to do better.
That comes from really taking the time to understand you, your business and how you operate.
I dig deep to understand who you want to engage, why your business exists and where your next phase of growth will come from. Only once we’re agreed on that can we figure out the right strategy and tactics for you.
It’s a candid approach, because I believe that if we’re open and honest with each other, we’ll get better results.
