A BIT OF TRUMPET BLOWING
“Laura is seasoned Creative that loves her craft. A really strong pair of hands. Aside from her excellent FMCG experience and creative skills, we love working with her because she's passionate, really positive and makes things happen. Certainly not afraid of putting the time in to her ideas. We've been under some tight deadlines, and she always pulls it out of the bag. She also has the rare ability to think pragmatically and commercially to ensure her ideas are viable and suited to the boundaries of the brief. Hire her now!!”
Dave Nutter, Co-Founder, Perfect Storm
“Laura is a dream to work with - not only is she a brilliant creative thinker and doer, but she’s got a strategically minded approach to briefs and always delivers. Whether it’s big activations, brand campaigns or detailed global toolkits - her approach makes these a breeze.”
Kelly Badal, Planning Director, Impero
“Laura gives 110% to everything she does. She applies intellectual rigour to her clients’ business challenges, providing invaluable insight, often outside the creative brief. All this would make her quite irritating if it weren’t for the fact she’s lovely.”
Bridget Cassey, Business Partner, Ogilvy
"Laura is not only a uniquely talented creative mind, but an absolute blast to work with, and a really inspirational leader to follow. I couldn't recommend her work highly enough and would certainly relish the chance to work with her again."
Richard Burkett, Director, R/GA
“I was lucky enough to work with Laura on a number of Lanson projects and every time she out-delivered. She has incredible knowledge across shopper, design, copywriting (the list goes on) and she’s hugely talented at pulling it all together.”
Sarah Campbell, Head of Trade marketing at Champagne Lanson TMW
“Laura is an awesome wingwoman when you’ve got a creative problem to solve. She’s no-nonsense, pragmatic and has bucketfuls of experience - but above all, she’s just bloody great to work with.”
Kim Upton, Head of Planning, Blue Chip
“There was some debate as to whether Laura was a copywriter that could draw or an art director that can write. She excelled at both, but for me it was her writing that really caught the eye. I’d love to work with her again, but I fear I’m more likely to end up pitching against her - in which case, I’ll need to bring my A-Game.”
Rob Steeles, Creative Director, AMV BBD
“Working with Laura taught me so much - her knowledge of shopper marketing is incredible, and her drive to push briefs made me become a far better creative. She is a hands on CD who is not afraid to get stuck in - and this is something that really brought the whole team together.”
Liz McCleod, Creative Lead
“Hands down, Laura is the most inspiring creative I have worked with so far. She’d always find ‘what ifs’ to unlock further realms of creativity and add sparks to the point that everyone would get genuinely excited - even about a powerpoint document.”
Gabi Gheerbrant, Producer, The Emma Sleep Company
“From the moment I met Laura it was clear that she was one of those creative people who made everyone around her better. Her attention to detail is truly a huge strength, and she really comes alive when she is presenting, so it’s no surprise that she has a phenomenal pitching record.”
Steve Sandom, AM at VMLY&R Commerce
“Laura is a consummate modern integrated Creative who perfectly balances the desire to push boundaries with the need to anchor in reality. She instinctively understands what works and communicates it without killing the creative spirit, all the while pushing the limits of what is possible.”
Simon Parker, MD WAA
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Laura for 3 years at Mesh, she is a great leader and mentor. Passionate on every project, she adapts well with her team and clients. With her abilities, adaptability, and dedication, Laura makes the best CD I have worked with so far in my career.”
Cat Burrow, Creative Group Head, Agency Space
“I’d jump at the chance to work with Laura again. She has a very unique approach compared to others, she’s very hands on but will stop whatever she’s doing to give feedback or chat.”
Richard Zhuk, Designer, Proximity
“The best CD I’ve ever reported to without a doubt. She exudes energy and enthusiasm for her work and genuinely cares about her team. My favourite thing was learning from her as she’ll happily take time to teach you tricks of the trade.”
Lisa Jo Robinson, Designer, Comic Relief
“Since day one Laura was a fantastic support and always keen to develop her team’s skills. Her determination to create the best work possible was an inspiration. A pleasure to work with, and an even bigger pleasure to share a shandy with.”
Tara Thompson, Account Handler, That Lot
"Although officially only CD, Laura is a natural leader, and unites everyone with her drive and passion. Without doubt one of the most charismatic directors I've had the pleasure of working with. And she does it all with a compassion that's second to none."
Yvette Smith, Studio Manager, Coley Porter Bell
"Laura is a breath of fresh air when it comes to leading the creative department, always encouraging a lively working environment. By far one of the loveliest ladies I've had the chance to work with awesomely talented at what she does!”
Amy Evans, Conceptual Designer, Tracey Locke
“Not only is Laura a great copywriter, she’s a great ideas person as well. She has a keen strategic mind that always challenges and asks questions. Also, when the going gets tough, her northern sense of humour brings everyone back to earth and helps bind teams together - definitely a team player I would have on my side.”
Mike Cavers, Ex-ECD, Publicis
“On paper, Laura was my CD, but by the time I left the agency she had filled a million other roles too. She’s an extremely talented creative and always seeks to push boundaries and get her creatives, and account handlers, thinking outside the box. I learnt a lot from her. She also taught me never to underestimate the power of a diet Coke bribe.”
Amelia Mulley, Account Handler, Whippet
“Despite a busy workload, she combines great humour with good mentoring and brilliant creativity. Laura’s not a hands on hips creative, she rolls up her sleeves and dives right in. I suspect that Laura would be a terrific plate-spinner as the way she moves in between jobs really is a wonder. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
John O’Sullivan, Freelance Creative Director
“A no-nonsense CD who’s always on your side. Laura’ll help you wherever she can, gets stuck in and will always listen to your ideas and anything else that you need to get off your chest. It’s fair to say that I learnt a lot from her and I’ll always be grateful for the time she invested in me.”
Amy Staines, Senior Copywriter
“I only recommend people I truly believe are brilliant to have around, that make your day better, produce brilliance from nothing and do it whilst making you laugh and then take you down the pub. Laura also understands that great ideas are nothing unless they actually produce outstanding results - and that makes her worth her weight in gold.”
Andy Regan, Freelance Creative Director
