Marketing communications

A clear direction, accurate positioning and integration of multiple communication disciplines are key attributes of an effective marketing communication programme.  Your marketing campaign needs to create a call to action that people feel moved to answer.

I can help you get the most from your marketing spend by:

  • clear definition of messages and audiences
  • creative writing and content generation
  • understanding which marketing disciplines add value
  • integrating different disciplines effectively.

Client case studies

Aviva wanted to reattribute surplus money that had built up in two of its with-profits funds.  To do this, High Court approval had to be gained and a target of 80% of eligible policyholders had to vote 'yes'   I was policyholder communications manager for what in effect was a combined 'mini general election, major product launch and complex business merger'.  I managed policyholder strategy and communications for 6 million customers including content for web, customer call centres and mailings.  The project achieved 84% positive take up by customers and delivered access to £650 million of capital for shareholders.  Success for the project was recognised by a Marketing Society award for excellence in marketing teamwork.

For Johnson Matthey I managed a joint political and media campaign to raise awareness of the need for cleaner transport fuels and helped the company to achieve a voice in public debate.  The campaign was enormously successful and paved the way for British interventions in the EU which resulted in regulation imposing these cleaner fuels.  During the same period a major new product launch was a landmark for Johnson Matthey and achieved far greater public recognition than any previous launch.
