My Story

I launched Mulberry Brown Communications in September 2025 after many years working in senior corporate roles, most recently as UK Head of External Marketing and Communications for an FTSE 250 global defence company.

After years of working nationally and internationally, I wanted to return to supporting businesses and organisations closer to home, particularly across the Southwest. Starting my own consultancy also gave me the flexibility to balance family life, reconnect with creativity and work more closely with clients, delivering thoughtful, hands-on support rather than operating at arm’s length. It’s also given me the opportunity to pursue and combine other areas of interest, including supporting other female founders, promoting women’s rights, writing and public speaking.

My USP

With over 25 years’ experience, my unique strength lies in being a genuinely multi-disciplined communications professional.

I work across PR, media relations, marketing, events and crisis communications, providing integrated, strategic support rather than siloed services. I build and protect reputations and help clients win attention, influence, customers and funding.

​While I offer a holistic communications service, I am particularly known for my expertise in:

• Crisis communications and reputational management

• Corporate Affairs

• Media relations and PR strategy

• Behaviour change campaigns

• Audience segmentation and strategic insights

• Strategic storytelling and messaging architecture 

This breadth of experience means I can see the bigger picture and provide a tangible return on any investment in communications. 

Previous Experience 

My career has taken me across the UK and to France, Germany and the United States. I’ve supported organisations of every size from start-ups and charities to public sector bodies, government departments and FTSE 250 companies.

My early career began in the theatre and music industry, before moving into luxury hotels and travel, and later into policing, where I spent 15 years leading behaviour change campaigns, major events, PR activity and high-profile crisis communications.

During that time, I worked locally, regionally and nationally, collaborating with organisations including the Home Office and No.10, the NPCC, the Prince’s Trust, major sporting organisations, celebrities and national media.

​Most recently, I led external communications for the UK within a multinational defence company, working with the MOD, managing complex communications across highly regulated and sensitive environments.

​Alongside these formal roles, I have also supported charities, small businesses and sole traders on a freelance basis, helping them establish their brand, voice and visibility. This breadth of experience allows me to support organisations regardless of sector or scale.

​A police officer, an actress and a P.R.O walk into a bar…

No, it’s not the start of a joke (although some may disagree), it’s me. My career has included roles as a performer, a producer, writer, public speaker, coach and a police officer. On paper, that might look unconventional. In reality, it has always been about the same thing:

​Communication. Storytelling. Connection.

​My career has taken me from stage to station to boardroom. Whether I’m writing a press release, coaching a CEO for broadcast, giving a recital or presenting evidence – there is a golden-thread: understand the audience, craft a clear narrative and communicate with clearly.

​So What Does This Mean for Clients:
