About
I’m Sam. Fan of stories and storytelling. Trainee mountain leader. Summertime SUPer. Keen on comedy. Mum to four awesome kids.
For over 20 years I’ve helped brands find their voice and put it to work. Today, I specialise in content strategy, tone of voice, and brand messaging — collaborating with top agencies, working with direct clients, and taking the helm in-house to develop stories that resonate.
My work lives where strategy meets creativity, and I root all of it in empathy, always reaching for the warm, human, relatable angle that makes people feel something. Messaging frameworks, workshops, campaigns, all powered by storytelling.
Along the way, I’ve written for global names including IKEA, PayPal, EDF Energy, and The Trade Desk, as well as growing businesses building their identity and voice from the ground up.
