Strong personal and corporate branding are the ultimate goals of a successful speech. Phil’s industry knowledge and sensitivity to the “voice” of speechmaker ensure your key messages are delivered in a clear and compelling way.
He is highly experienced in researching, understanding and crafting your central message and gearing the tone of the speech to the audience.
Speechwriting is a skill that requires practice and time to master. Injecting just the right amount of the speaker’s personality into a speech, for instance, often works better than the presentation of facts and figures. It makes good business sense to outsource this time-consuming and complex activity to a speechwriting expert.
Phil can help you to develop and deliver your message in a style that feels comfortable to the individual speechmaker. He works closely with each client, building up an understanding of the business’s aims and the speaker’s individual career trajectory.
Each speech is tailored to the size and composition of the audience and its surroundings, to ensure the message has genuine meaning.
Clients include a government minister, financial services executives and industrial board-level executives.
Live blogging can project marketing messages from corporate events and conferences that reach far beyond the audience present. Phil distils large quantities of information to core themes in real time to create an accurate and valuable account for stakeholders and prospective clients.

White papers are central to companies’ efforts to show prospective clients they understand and can respond to key issues. Outsourcing these time-consuming documents can conserve valuable internal resources and ensure a professional appearance.

No longer “dead-weight” documents, brochures are scrutinised increasingly closely by investors and other stakeholders. They should be as compelling as other marketing documents.
