About Us

Our Founder

Cockadoodledoo Communications comes out of a belief in good communications, after all, content is why we have search in the first place! 

I started out in public relations when column inches was king, cuttings agencies sent paper cuttings, the Lincolnshire Echo was a thriving daily newspaper and Facebook was a mere fledgling. 

Communications as an industry has blossomed and I am fortunate to have been employed by some fantastic companies over the last 20 years, and have personally delivered 4 award-winning campaigns.

I am proud of the variety of experiences I have gained, working for organisations such as the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, Nottinghamshire Police, University of Lincoln, and Arena Racing Company.

Each role unique, each with its own challenges, yet each rewarded with measurable engagement, enjoyment and success. 

Good communications shouldn’t happen in isolation, and my breadth of experience covers copywriting, social media, marketing strategy, campaigns, brand management, and event management.

I believe in doing things differently, so if you’re stuck for ideas, need a social media content overhaul, web copy, or perhaps just a helping hand. I will bring a fresh perspective and a Tigger like creative energy.
