"VIOOH is a fast-growing company that is moving from start-up to scale-up phase. Historically the PR was delivered through external PR agency support, managed by our Marketing Director. I was keen to find out whether having an in-house PR role would deliver better results for the business, so we hired Vicky to prove this while the Marketing Director was out on maternity leave.
Vicky hit the ground running, creating a detailed strategy, clarifying our messaging, and laying the foundations for smooth processes with our partners and parent company. She delivered professional, efficient, and expert work – to amplify numerous market launches, partner announcements and other news – as well as a series of high-quality thought-leadership articles.
Vicky has helped to positively transform both the internal perception of PR and internal comms, as well as external perceptions of VIOOH across the advertising industry on a global scale. She also successfully helped build the case for a permanent PR headcount to build on her high calibre work. It has been a delight working with Vicky – and I couldn’t recommend her enough!"
Helen Miall, Chief Marketing Officer, VIOOH
"Vicky stepped in as maternity leave cover for one of our most high profile roles, heading up the BT Consumer PR team.
At the best of times, this is a hugely demanding position, with multiple senior stakeholders, a diverse team and a steady stream of challenging issues in addition to the more positive promotional work. These, however, were not the best of times: the entire period was dominated by pandemic-related restrictions that meant Vicky had little or no direct contact with most of her new colleagues.
She has been fantastic – a smart, friendly presence with astute comms instinct. She’s brought great leadership support and motivation to the team and calm assurance to those of us who hired her. Her collaborative liaison with the permanent role holder is testament to her character.
I’m extremely grateful to Vicky and recommend her unreservedly."
Tom Engel, Director of Communications, BT
“I worked closely with Vicky during her time at UKTV. Her industry knowledge; can-do; and grip are all seriously impressive.
Vicky combines organisation with ambition; experience with open-mindedness; and quality with creativity."
Charlotte Elston, Director of Communications, BBC Studios
“Vicky led corporate communications at GroupM UK for most of the time I was there and we became fast friends and collaborators around a number of high-impact programs.
She made the global team I led look amazing time and again, not just for what she did in the UK, but by constantly raising her hand for broader European and global initiatives."
"Vicky has helped create a regular cadence of press coverage about the great work we do at Appetite Creative. Her professional, efficient and friendly approach makes collaboration very easy – and she frequently goes above and beyond.
She’s great at suggesting creative solutions and getting us on the radar of key journalists – which has generated some brilliant coverage and raised our profile among prospective clients."
Jenny Stanley, Managing Director, Appetite Creative

Karen Meadows, Marketing Director, Pushed
"Vicky was an immense help launching Finecast to the broadcasting and advertising industry – when she arranged a media event and raft of excellent press coverage.
She followed up the launch moment with a series of thought-leadership press activity and built a social media presence which helped solidify Finecast’s positive industry reputation.
A consummate professional, Vicky always delivers excellent results and her proactive approach makes working with her an easy and valuable collaboration."
Jakob Nielsen, CEO, Finecast

Vicky has been an absolute pleasure and support to have on the RTS key advisory Committees.
Her approach is finely judged and nuanced. She works with others super collaboratively – and she always delivers what she promises."

Vicky is a rare breed among communications professionals: she has an excellent grasp of the needs of journalists, alongside a thorough understanding of her clients’ businesses.
I can’t think of a single occasion where she has promised something and failed to deliver."
Alex Brownsell, Senior Editor, Media, WARC
"I've always found Victoria to be highly diligent and approachable when working with her. She understands what a reporter needs and is always ahead on what is needed and is prompt in providing clarifications and accompany assets also.
I see her also as someone who is dedicated to her client or employer and is able to speak on their plans and views with confidence. She is a thoroughly admirable communications professional."
Stephen Lepitak, Editor, The Drum
