I engaged Ebony to work with me on some client projects; Ebony is such a team player and always super solutions-oriented. She was eager to come to the table with big ideas, and also those ideas that meant for fast results that clients often want to see. She was also thoughtful about the bigger picture; who could our clients be introduced to that would help their business beyond the remit we were engaged for.
I would recommend Ebony; she is a valuable mix of ‘hands-on doer’ with ‘big thinker’ and that’s incredibly valuable as a senior communications professional.

Ebony used her expertise to help us in the run-up to the soft launch of the app UOME, which seeks to empower businesses to take control of their finances. Ebony showed due diligence and professionalism; she got to grips with the project quickly and immersed herself in it, liaising with the team, dealing with challenges head-on on and putting together a comprehensive product-to-market strategy for the launch. She also briefed investors on launch strategy and activities, and was fun to work with. Ebony is hard working with a good sense of humour and a pleasure to work with, I would recommend her services.

Ebony was recommended to us as a speaker for a Womens Business Event that we were hosting in June 2018. Ebony gave a brilliant interactive presentation on ‘escaping the 9-5’ which was well received by the audience of around 25 women. Her presentation was relevant, clear, motivational and well suited to the event and audience. What better a person to show you how to escape the 9- 5 ? than Ebony, who has actually succeededed in doing this herself. Ebony was a pleasure to work with & we would love to have Ebony speak on our platform again.

We enlisted Ebony’s expertise to help us launch our new business, ZAPspace trampoline park, which includes the Curious Fox speakeasy, and Old Town Bistro to the public. We bought Ebony on to our project with a little over a month before we intended to launch our new service. Ebony showed due diligence and professionalism, she got to grips with the project quickly and immersed herself into it, liaising with the team, putting together a strategy for the launch.
She managed the press launch for ZAPspace which was a great success and secured significant coverage on relevant media platforms. Ebony also produced our crisis communications plan and was instrumental in setting up our marketing activities for our sister sites including Pitch. Ebony is dynamic, creative and hardworking and a pleasure to work with.

I first worked with Ebony when she produced my lifestyle and food radio show. She was creative, solutions-focused and always made sure things ran smoothly — even when challenges came up live on air.
Since then, I’ve brought her on to support my business ventures, including the launch of my best-selling book The Love List. She’s passionate, strategic, and consistently overdelivers. Ebony brings real value to every project she touches.

‘It is a pleasure working with Ebony. Her good sense, practical ideas and lovely sense of humour helps get the best out of everyone. The communication strategy she produced with us has really helped get our project off the ground. The videos she envisioned, scripted and produced for us are superb’.

A big thank you to Ebony for her work on getting some of the NHS Confederation’s 2014 annual conference and exhibition content the kind of media coverage it deserved. Her ability to make sense of the maelstrom of ‘stuff’ – including all the internal tensions and anxieties that are so prevalent in the 6-8 week run-up to a major event – was invaluable.
Additionally, Ebony’s calm and methodical approach, superb personal skills, and first-class professional comms skills inspired huge confidence in everyone in the NHS Confederation with whom she worked, and it was immensely helpful to know that she was ‘on it’ in every aspect of the work we put her way (which was plenty!)
We’d be very happy to recommend Ebony’s services.
