Shelley S.

As the founder of Stuart Consulting, I advise on strategic communications, corporate communications, B2B PR, B2B marketing and have been a coach and mentor. In this turbulent and fast-paced world, I want to help companies navigate success through a people-first set of values and vision for the future. Bringing open and transparent communication with employees to the forefront and translating those principles into how companies communicate externally. With my experience in corporate communications, change and transformation, and elevating the profiles of founders/CXOs, I've been told that I help 'connect the dots'. I am a thinker who tries to blend the analytical and creative in whatever problem I tackle. And I love complex issues and challenges. Here are some ways I have helped companies: ✔️ Working with marketing and sales teams to ensure brand messaging is consistent internationally ✔️ Acting as a 'sounding board' to founders on marketing and communications strategy and operations ✔️ Working with leadership teams on how to handle perceived crisis, including media strategy to Town Halls and how to share information to build trust ✔️ Acting as a quality control, overseeing agency output and in-house messaging and content to ensure a successful product launch ✔️ Supporting founders on building international media and business influencer connections to raise their own and their companies' profiles ✔️ Drafting a plan to help a SME tech-services firm get 'big clients' Over my career I've also had voluntary roles which reflect my support for diversity and inclusion, education and closing the gender pay gap: Vice-president + head of sponsorship, Women in PR Initiated the mentoring WPR / PRWeek mentoring scheme w/ M Whenman Trustee with STEP Academy Director of Operations, G100 UK, MAC Wing BlockDojo mentor Mentor with PRCA's PRISM scheme Some clients I've worked with are Dell, Motorola, Colt Telecom (IPO), Fiserv, WPP (digital transformation), Sage X3, Strato, TBG Digital (acquired by Sprinklr), Miroma Group, MCR (acquired by Kroll), Marconi, Mitel, Flextronics, Sharegain, Hiber, and Qubs. I support Hamilton Mann in his writings as penned in Artificial Integrity. I love to engage in discussions about AI for Good and seeing how we can best use AI without compromising our mental faculties. A lifelong competitor in sports like tennis and running, I am an advocate for sports as a means of developing teamwork and leadership abilities.
