Consultancy

With over 25 years of experience running agencies, from independents to acquisitions, holding groups and global operations – Miranda can help with consultancy for business owners. Mostly working with other marketing service agencies, to support new business, growth, scale to sell, a proposition, pitch or whatever else you might need – she is open to all discussions. It might be you just want to bounce leadership issues around on a call and get another perspective or bench-marking. It might be you want to create a unique piece of IP to promote your business. It could be she comes into your company for a stint and works with you, any kind of help or advice suited to you.

Creative

Having worn a creative director hat at several agencies and for many campaigns, I can conceptualise ideas that can work through all channels, but will usually be earned at heart. Importantly too, I bring a female point of view, this doesn’t mean I just come up with pink ideas! I also partner with several awesome experienced creatives I have worked with in the past , who have all delivered award-winning ATL or cut through PR campaigns.

PR

With PR being the core discipline over my decades long career, be it running PR agencies or spear-heading earned-first teams and thinking – how PR works is in my DNA. I can offer everything from a local press office, creating a niche team or leading global integrated multi-agency campaigns in your business. In my network are crisis and sustainability experts as well as social natives to create a complete roster of options. I often partner with other independent outfits to provide the exact expertise required.

Miranda is an incredible leader who has helped me tackle several challenges in my own development and within the team I lead and the organization I run. With her exceptional background in the creative and media landscape, she was the perfect person to advise in building a business in the creative space. She has exceptional attention to detail and a unique ability to analyze opportunities strategically from various angles and viewpoints. She has also a genuine interest in getting to know the humans behind each and every team. She is sharp & exceptionally smart, and I really enjoy working with her.

Jason GallucciGlobal Creative Director - MediaZoo, UK

I worked with Miranda one of our biggest local beauty campaigns. From pitch to delivering the final assets, Miranda was determined, incredibly hardworking, understood luxury marketing and extremely personable. Miranda felt like an extension of our team and was with us every step of the way. She also understood the entire marketing mix from media channels to in store
visibility. I would work with Miranda again in a heart beat.
