What I Do


Design & print management:

I have worked on both information based and advertising-led pieces of print including visitor publications, foreign-language publications, city maps, B2B print, conference brochures, direct-mail, newsletters, and exhibition graphics. Work has involved writing design briefs, print specifications and production schedules, coordinating the tender process, selecting designers, printers, translators and cartographers, costing projects, content management, advising on visual ideas, sourcing imagery, writing copy, proofing, and coordinating delivery.

Marketing services:

Marketing is simply 'to find what your customers want and then give it to them'.

    In my freelance capacity I have worked on a variety of marketing projects including:
  • Working up and costing a 3 year marketing plan for Brighton Festival Fringe, www.brightonfestivalfringe.co.uk

  • Helping with the first stage of a project involving the Royal Pavilion and approved Brighton & Hove hotels, www.royalpavilion.org.uk

  • A variety of marketing activities for The Alvia Hotel, Brighton, www.alviahotel.co.uk, and hotels within the 'boutiquebrighton' group, www.boutiquebrighton.co.uk to encourage more corporate business to these small, exclusive hotels.

  • Helping clients with contact database work, both sourcing new contacts as well as updating current contacts. I am currently helping Zero2one www.zero2one.com on an ongoing basis with their contact database work.

Having worked with Sarah for over a decade, I am pleased to give testament to her patience, good humour and unflappability. Qualities that, combined with her professionalism, attention to detail and awareness of cost and budget, make her an ideal candidate to run design and print projects of any size.
