Describe yourself
Half the woman I used to be – but only physically!
What did you do before BS&P?
I started in direct marketing, at DDM Advertising. I joined Martin at Rapier in 1986, and stayed for 9 happy years. I eventually left for Proximity London, then in 2000 I decided to rejoin Martin down in Godalming.
Which brand have you most enjoyed working with and why?
Air France because the clients were straight-talking and challenging; they remain friends to this day. Shell because we achieved ground-breaking work together.
What gives you the most pride?
Having a fulfilling career, yet still having time to enjoy my children.
Why Godalming?
I'm free from the incestuous London agency world! I can focus less on internal politics and agency processes, and concentrate more on what matters – growing our clients' businesses.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
My enthusiastic youngest son! And the wonderful view out of our bedroom window towards Frensham Ponds.
What does Brilliant Simplicity mean to you?
Making the complicated understandable – and jargon-free communication!
