This is just a flavour of the projects and people I’ve had the pleasure working with.
The Northern Music Awards:
creating a national music awards with purpose at its heart.
The opportunity.
Nordoff & Robbins wanted to create its first public-facing supporter event in over a decade. It needed to raise awareness of music therapy, engage the music industry and become a sustainable source of income, not just another awards ceremony.
The approach.
I conceived and delivered the Northern Music Awards from the ground up, bringing together Greater Manchester's Music Commission, industry leaders, sponsors and partners. I secured long-term partnerships with Ticketmaster, Live Nation and Clear Channel, embedding the event within the UK's music industry while giving music therapy a national platform.
The impact.
The awards established a new flagship event for the charity, reaching 2.17 million viewers through BBC One Show coverage, delivering the charity's first national Out of Home campaign and creating a sustainable commercial model through multi-year sponsorships.
Les Dames d’Escoffier: modernising a heritage culinary organisation for its next chapter
The opportunity.
The organisation's website no longer reflected the calibre of its members or supported its ambitions for growth, engagement and recruitment.
The approach.
I migrated the website from WordPress to Squarespace, refined the visual identity and tone of voice, improved the user experience and created a searchable membership directory that better showcased the community.
The impact.
The new website provides a modern, intuitive experience for prospective and existing members, strengthening the organisation's digital presence while making it easier to connect with and celebrate its membership.
Nordoff & Robbins rebrand: repositioning the UK’s largest music therapy charity
The opportunity.
As the charity grew, its brand no longer reflected the scale of its ambition. It needed to engage new audiences, strengthen its relationship with the music industry and support ambitious fundraising targets without losing the trust it had built over decades.
The approach.
I led the strategic repositioning of the organisation, refining its identity, introducing a new brand platform, Break through with music, and creating a more honest, human tone of voice. I also oversaw the subtle but significant evolution from Nordoff Robbins to Nordoff & Robbins.
The impact.
The rebrand helped contribute to a 51% increase in income over two years, alongside measurable improvements in brand awareness, logo recognition and public trust, creating a platform for the charity's next phase of growth.
