Testimonials
“I really enjoyed working with Laura over many years and always hugely valued her professionalism, tenacity and determination to get the job done. She has a strong ability to stay focused on the business objectives we set, while never losing sight of what really matters to our clients. Laura is also excellent at working across teams, both within a corporate environment and with agency partners, bringing people together and getting the best out of everyone involved. She is a compassionate leader and teammate who understands people, builds strong relationships and knows how to help others perform at their best. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to work with her again.”
— Former manager
“Laura brought clarity, energy and strong leadership to the team, while building effective relationships across the wider organisation. Laura also led a major transformation of our AGM communications, navigating a complex stakeholder landscape and successfully bringing senior leaders, including the CEO, Chairman and Board of Directors, on board with significant changes. She combines strategic thinking with exceptional communication and delivery skills, and is particularly effective at bringing people together to make change happen.”
— Former manager
“Laura was simply brilliant to work with in terms of her energy and communication, and was an integral driver of the success of the business area. As well as project managing the high-quality content assets that were the lynchpin of our wider campaigns she was a big strategic thinker, able to lead collaborating in problem solving and strategy development whilst never over complicating the task and always being client focused.”
— Former colleague
“Across large-scale integrated campaigns, thought leadership programmes and our ABM pilot, Laura consistently brought strategic clarity, creative ambition and a genuine ability to hold the bigger picture without losing sight of the detail. What I noticed most was her instinct for what will actually work – not just what looks good on paper. She challenges briefs, pushes thinking and raises the standard for those around her. In a complex, matrixed organisation like HSBC, that kind of influence was both rare and valuable. I'd recommend Laura to any business looking for senior marketing expertise they can trust.”
— Former colleague
“I was lucky to have Laura as my manager at HSBC for around five years and genuinely loved working with her. She’s a hugely talented, creative and dynamic marketer who brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every campaign. Laura is a rare mix of highly organised and analytical, while also being creative (a true marketing all-rounder!). On top of this she is also a natural leader and I find her to be incredibly personable, supportive and empathetic, generally a joy to work with and to be around. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone to work with.”
— Former team member
''Laura has a broad cross function and 'through the line' perspective of marketing which enables her to offer calm and credible leadership on high profile projects. Her ability to manage multiple senior stakeholders (both internally and externally) enables teams to focus on high-quality delivery and stakeholders to prioritise resource and support to the best effect, and have confidence that projects and campaigns will deliver against KPIs.”
— Former external agency partner
“Laura is meticulous, commercially minded and always thinking beyond the immediate challenge to what will deliver the greatest long-term impact, while still being incredibly hands-on and pragmatic in getting the work over the line. Laura is also exceptional at bringing people together. She builds strong relationships, creates alignment across teams and stakeholders, and has a real ability to take people with her through change, complexity and new ways of working.”
— Former team member
“I was fortunate enough to work with Laura and her team on several initiatives during her time at HSBC. An extremely sharp marketer, Laura also knows how to get the very best out of agency partners. Her knowledge, clarity, fairness, and collaborative approach to working, inspired the agency to bring our absolute best to every project. Clearly driven, and genuinely respected by her team, Laura created an environment to build true partnership. A sophisticated marketing leader, expert problem solver, and a total pleasure to work with - I’d certainly recommend Laura.”
