TESTIMONIALS

What my clients say

“Working with Jen is a delight. Not only is she one of the best communications professionals I’ve ever worked with, but she also has deep subject matter expertise on topics including nature, climate and especially the overlap between the two, including carbon markets. She is always strategic, creative, efficient and an absolute joy to work with.”

Lucy Almond

Chair, Nature4Climate and Strategic Communications Lead for Nature-based Solutions at World Economic Forum

“We brought Jen on board to act as the communications advisor at Respira. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and has a very rare combination of being both a really strategic communications thinker as well as being a subject matter expert on nature based solutions. She’s also perhaps the most efficient and organised person I’ve ever worked with and has fantastic interpersonal skills. I’d thoroughly recommend working with her!”

Edward Hewitt

Natural Climate Solutions Lead at Respira International Ltd

“I have been working with Jen for nearly three years building, enhancing and disseminating a comprehensive, and evolving, communications strategy for Carbon Tanzania and it’s been a great journey through which we have seen impressive, tangible results. Jen brings real insight and clarity to the challenges of communicating what we (who are often practitioners, scientists and passionate activists) in the space see as complex and irreducible issues. While there are some very real and problematic issues out there that need addressing, I have come to see how some of the problems we face, and their often already available solutions, suffer as much from a lack of clear concise and consistent communication as they do from being impossible or particularly difficult to deal with.”

Jo Anderson

Co-Founder Carbon Tanzania, Co-Founder and CEO, Level

“Jen is phenomenally good at what she does, being knowledgeable in both communications/ reputation management and strategy. I learnt something new whenever I spent time with Jen. She is fun to be with, has very high standards, and invests massively in her clients.”

Dr Tara Swart

Neuroscientist, author, executive advisor

“Jen has transformed the way that we communicate. With Jen’s insight and guidance, we have achieved real and significant improvements in outcomes from our key audiences. Every time we speak, I learn to look at things from a new perspective- Jen’s consultancy would be invaluable for any not for profit looking to link their communications to a broader strategy.”

Kari Gerstheimer

Director of Information and Advice, Mencap

“Jen has an incredible clarity of thought which I have seen her use time and time again to create sensible strategy and compelling communications for the organisations she works with. She always manages to see the bigger picture and ensures projects keep moving in that direction.”

Jules Chappell

CEO, London & Partners Events

“Working with Jen has helped us immensely with establishing our presence in the complex carbon market landscape. Her deep industry knowledge and connections are invaluable, and she’s helped us time and time again with identifying and executing high-impact initiatives that suit our positioning and roadmap.”

Ela Khodai

Head of Marketing, Toucan

“We contracted Jen to help us develop our communication strategy and support the first steps of its implementation. Jen brings an outstanding mix of strong strategic oriented thinking combined with expertise in developing clear and powerful messaging. Through her focused approach, which always kept the bigger picture in mind, Jen guided us in developing strong communication content that underpins our overall strategy and goals. With her clarity of thought, she helped us to break down a complex, very specific and technical topic into a language that everyone understands. Furthermore, working with Jen enabled us to better align and strengthen our collective ambition and to further unite a community of diverse stakeholders.”

Sandra Brandt

Director, International Platform for Insetting

“Jen joined our new team just as we were setting up the Business for Nature coalition to bring business voices together in the fight to reverse nature loss. Despite the complexities of having to create a coherent narrative and communications strategy for a coalition where partners have different priorities and interests she managed to create inspiring content and a strong plan. Jen brought expert project management and consensus building skills into the team, and also helped a group of policy experts to communicate complex concepts around biodiversity much more clearly. Under her tactful, confident touch the idea of a business coalition for nature found its online identity and took the first difficult steps to building an audience. The success and reach that the coalition has achieved since is testimony to the incredible foundation she helped to establish.”

Jaco du Toit

Interim Executive Director, Business for Nature

“The Althelia Climate Fund’s annual Impact Report is highly regarded and considered to be pioneering within the impact investing sector. Jen played a critical role in the production of the best edition yet. Jen’s input was critical in steering the look and feel of the report, ensuring that whilst it remained in keeping with those of previous years, this latest edition added something new and told the impact story of the Fund and its projects in an even more engaging and memorable way. Jen’s knowledge of environmental and social issues, and her ability to process complex information, delivered exciting copy which also helped capture the wider significance of the results being reported. In addition, Jen’s organisational and communication skills were pivotal in coordinating and managing the flow of information and decision making between the graphic designers and myself, helping us to see final delivery of the reports on deadline and within budget.”

David Wallis

ESG & Impact Manager, Althelia Funds

“As a social enterprise, purpose is at the centre of everything we do, but succinctly communicating this to a range of different stakeholders can be a challenge. When we asked Jen to support us in developing our vision, mission and values statements, she not only delivered in-depth professional guidance and expertise, she was also very quick to understand the human aspects of our company. Her advice was always tailored towards our unique microcosm and went far beyond what we expected. Thanks to Jen we are now able to clearly communicate our purpose in a way that engages our beneficiaries, clients and investors alike. Our values can be used to guide our business decisions in a highly transparent way.”

Viola Sommer and Ray Coyle

Directors, Auticon Ltd

“Jen came on-board my first company – a small fashion startup – a couple of years into business, just as we were gaining traction amongst stockists and press, and as behind the scenes was starting to become fairly complex. I was juggling production, logistics, marketing, branding as well as the nuts and bolts of a young team, and Jen was vital in ensuring our message was consistent and on brand across all parts of the business. Jen is always frank with insightful feedback, and yet still manages to be a complete joy to work with!”

Alexia Pinchbeck

Print Designer and Illustrator

“Jen was instrumental at Ecosphere+ in generating the momentum to create our business strategy and accompanying financial forecasts and operational plans from beginning to end. We had struggled previously with not being able to properly prioritise against objectives and just doing too much not well but after Jen’s work, the whole team was more aligned and achieving better results while also improving work life balance.”

Jessica Verhagen

previously VP Business Development & Strategy, Ecosphere+

“Communication with busy staff of our member organisations is one of our biggest challenges. When Jen reviewed our documentation, language and processes, she was able to give clear reasons for the blocks we were experiencing and provide us with simple alternatives that we could implement straight away, as well as guidance on a longer term strategy. She seemed to understand immediately what we were trying to achieve and what the barriers would be for our audiences. I believe that Jen’s clearsighted approach will transform the way we engage this user group and help us achieve our vision that all people with social care needs get the care and support they have a right to so that they can live fulfilled lives in the community.”
