I bring over 15 years of experience spanning consultancy and, more recently, the music and creative industries - using strategic expertise to empower creative teams and drive projects from concept to completion. I’m a true multi-hyphenate!

My Services

 

Artist Development

I have a strong flair for music and thrive on supporting artists as they develop and grow. In 2018, while working a shift at The Roundhouse, I told RAYE that I loved her music - and five years later, she went on to become #1 independent artist in the UK! It’s a true story.

 

Curation & Editorial

I curate diverse music content that reflects developments at the forefront of music internationally. For example, I initiated Represented:Playlist and The F-List for Music Playlist, both of which showcase under-recognised talent.

 

Project Management

I manage projects and teams of various sizes. My project management approach is practical and collaborative, and I always strive to deliver to time, budget and a high standard. My track record with examples of projects I’ve managed is available upon request.

 

Event Management

I help to run large-scale events, including talent management, ticketing, wrist-banding, guest list, accreditation, artist meet and greet, staff and volunteer management, customer service, disabled access. I’ve recently supported major events such as The Big Creative UK Summit, Download and Reading Festivals, Camp Bestival, Roundhouse and Barbican Centre gigs.

Business Development & Account Management

I offer support with business development, account management and pitching for sponsorship, for contracts ranging from 10K to 10M. Examples of proposals I’ve won and sponsorships I’ve raised can be provided upon request.

 

Programme Management & Technical Assistance

I coordinate large, international, multi-year programmes or provide one-off technical assistance during their implementation. For example, I’ve coordinated consortia, led research, facilitated working groups, organised events for European networks and platforms.

 

Research, Analysis & Reporting

I’m skilled in research design and tools, document and literature review, stakeholder engagement (via surveys, interviews, focus groups, case studies), analysis and report-writing.

Or, if there’s a bespoke service you cannot see listed here that I might be able to provide, please send me your enquiry.
