Recent Work

  • Phil Dorman - Executive Coach, Founder Not Neutral

    “I love working with Holly.

    She's helped me get unstuck in my marketing/BD efforts - supporting me in both finding a way to speak about who I am and what I do that feels authentic and in establishing the ongoing habit of posting and promoting my work that's critical to building momentum.

    She knows her way around LinkedIn and other tools and platforms, and what it takes to get traction and generate leads.

    More importantly, for me at least, she brings a humanity and empathy to the process of getting things going that has brought joy into a part of my work that I used to find icky and painful.

  • Mark McCoy - Partner, The Adjacent

    “Holly has been a wonderful support over the last year. We could not have moved nearly as quickly as we have were it not for Holly’s support across a range of topics and projects. She’s supported us with marketing and communications, copywriting, operations, facilitation, graphic design, as well as helping to standardise processes. In several key instances, Holly has anticipated possible issues, or better ways to do something, and flagged those for us.

    She’s been able to understand us as a niche business, which is invaluable as we feel Holly is able to join calls and jump right into things rather than needing to be brought up to speed for every new project we start. This is particularly helpful when the work we’re doing is less structured, or where detailing out individual steps would be time consuming.”


  • Odharnait Ansbro - Founder Solas & WomenUnbound, Ex-Google

    “Holly has been an incredible help with the marketing and communications strategy for WomenUnbound – it's safe to say we would not have been able to launch our initiative without her!

    She brings an academic eye to her content development, doing excellent research and explaining complex concepts in a simple and accessible way. She is also incredibly savvy when it comes to digital communications and platforms and has been a key contributor to our strategy and its execution.

    We have really enjoyed working with her, she brings enthusiasm, energy and flexibility to her role and has been a wonderful addition to our team.”

  • Vivi Stavrou - Senior Science Officer, Executive Secretary Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science, International Science Council

    “Holly was exceptional in both her support as a research assistant and writer as well as in her execution of a podcast series for the Council. She contributed significantly to the research and drafting of two important ISC publications, both complex documents, not only in terms of content but also because of the multiple partners involved in the production. 

    Holly produced a 5-episode podcast series for us, Science in Times of Crisis. Her planning, content creation and execution was outstanding and way beyond what we expected from her role.

    Holly was professional and timely in her work outputs, supportive and personable, and a valued member of the ISC team.”
